Hello!
Self Portrait, 1980
Posing proudly with one of my first great artistic accomplishments!
I designed the custom graphics for my first car, a 1967 Firebird Convertible that I restored alongside my father.
I painted the design by hand using an airbrush and special pinstriping brushes called “swords”.
I was 17 years old.
