A bit About buddy

I'm a carver and artisan for a native tribe in nw/ wa. I have been making a living with art and music for the last 25 years.
I work in the old ways with adzes, knives, etc.. carving in 2-d and 3-d, also painting and guilding of gold leaf. I also work in the new ways with the computer with various graphic software. If it's about art I'm lovin' it!

This is a pin-up piece I did for a client who wanted a look based on the ww2 bomber planes. I did this for his hydroplane boat.
He wanted multiple images of this so I chose the computer for this project and challenged myself to do this in a vectored base graphic program. I had this digitally printed

gold leaf letters
