I’ve created multiple custom truck projects and sculptures. There were several custom cars and trucks over the years. The most well-known, was an 89 Toyota called AlterEgo. It was featured in my business ads including multiple custom truck magazines. It had air suspension, body dropped, sheet metal modifications front to back and top to bottom. Full graphics with a lime green base color. It was built and painted over 20 years ago and is still being shared and talked about all over social media today.
I created an eight-foot-wide by six-foot-tall ancient Incan gold replica. Designed from 16ga steel using nothing but a low-resolution photo of an ancient gold artifact. This was commissioned for a high-end restaurant and bar called the RUKA, which is located in the luxurious Godfrey hotel in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The sculpture is permanently installed as a centerpiece behind the bar. It’s hand shaped and painted gold, to replicate the 19” original artifact made in the 16th century.
I built a life-size bald eagle made of over 4,000 polished stainless feathers. Over 2,000 hours were invested in this. This sculpture has a 6ft wingspan.

I was accepted to Art & Design where, at the time, we had to take four periods of art. I fell in love with the airbrush and never put it down since 1988. Fast forward to today, and I continue my education, I attempt to take yearly airbrush classes, in order to improve and grow.
