How long have you been painting?
About 30 years, I started the business when I was 19. I went to an art high school for four years and worked part-time at a pizza place. I saw the advantages of working for yourself and owning a business through the owner. So I decided then that's what I wanted to do. I was doing artwork, but I wasn't really into automotive art. I was doing graffiti-style art, lettering, and signs. That was the big thing back then. There really was no social media, Youtube back then. So seeing new art styles was hard unless you picked up a magazine. I learned a lot from magazines while in school and afterward. I kept at it after graduating high school and started doing t-shirts, beepers, and stuff on South Street in Philly. At that time, Angel Schrock was the best in Philly, and she was the one I looked up to. She had a shop called Angel's The Airbrush Place. I would go by there after she closed at night just to look in the window at what she was doing. I always tried to figure out how she created her art. Was she using a paintbrush in this area or an airbrush, that sort of stuff.
I wasn't into cars and had no desire to take my art in that direction until my father, who was really into cars, suggested I should try. So I tried painting one motorcycle which belonged to a friend of my dad's, and it just took off from there.
