Hand-lettered signs, helmets, parts, motorcycles, and all sorts of things I'm interested in.

Another Coca-Cola Vendo 44 Restoration Project.


This was another Coca-Cola Vendo 44 before I painted and lettered it. These are always fun and rewarding to do, as they turn out quite well when they're finished.

Vintage Coca-Cola Cooler.



This was another vintage Coca-Cola cooler I lettered awhile back. This was a small picnic cooler that needed re-lettering.

Triumph X75 Hurricane



This is the Craig Vetter designed Triumph X75 Hurricane.  This one was at the local Trev Deeley Motorcycle Museum a short while back.  I always liked the looks of the bike.

1982 Honda XR 200


I decided to get back into dirtbiking, and what better bush beater than an old XR?

"El Burro Azul" Custom Honda C70




Here is a set of side panels, fenders, and assorted body pieces for a custom Honda C70 that I painted and pinstriped.

The Original Wild One.




Here my dad is reliving his two-wheeled past on board my old Yamaha YL-1.

1984 Honda C70 Frame.

This is a 1984 Honda C7o frame I recently painted in Nason Ful-Cryl acrylic enamel.  The blue has a mild metalflake finish and is super easy to work with.

These were taken at this year's International Norton Owners Association "Nortorious" Rally in Lumby, B.C.  Lot's of bikes were at the event, and the riding in the area was fantastic.

Antorcha De Fuego!

Here is a welder's helmet that I lettered and pinstriped. 




This Is How The Old Chevrolet Neon Clock Turned Out.








Old Chevrolet Dealership Clock.








This was another clock face I worked on. It needed some work as it was pretty rough, and the customer wanted some of the lettering changed.

B.S.A. and Triumph Gas Cans.





These vintage gas cans are now displayed sitting in a pair of cool garages alongside some really nice old British bikes. I lettered them using One-Shot.

Sign for Haiti Relief.


This was a sign I did for my church's Haiti relief fund.  We were accepting donations of rice for an orphanage supported by our congregation.

And this is how the Orange Crush clock turned out.



Old Orange Crush Clock


This job was very challenging to do, and required a bit of thought.  The old paint on these clock faces is often dry and powdery and rubs off very easily.  I couldn't use any adhesives, no matter how mild, to mask off the images. Thank God, it turned out well.

1976 Honda CB400/4 Super Sport


This rough looking bike was a roadside find that was beyond restoration(?). It's parts are now in many hands throughout the NorthWest.

BSA A65 finished!


Brother Tom has been working feverishly throughout the months to get this ol' britsickle up and running.  He had some help from various sources, including your's truly! I did a fair bit of paint work on this bike, including the side covers (see earlier post) as well as the headlight brackets, etc. Beautiful bike! And now it runs!
