I'm an all around prepress and design guy. AI is absolutely my favorite app, but I am well-versed in Quark Xpress, InDesign and PhotoShop, just to name a few.
My background includes everything from high end drum scanning, large format printing, print shop experience, graphic design, illustration and mat cutting and framing to abstract expressionistic painting, newsprint and screenprinting. My experience is certainly more broad than deep, but at least that way I can get into trouble in a lot of different areas.
I'm married to a wonderful woman, with 3 awesome kids. Currently working doing primarily design, project management and general art direction for a small marketing firm.

I am always a bigger fan of the art more stylized with a photorealistic flare. This is perfect. I love the color choice of the car. Not too colorful making it more authentic metal looking. ***** 5 Stars.

I just really like it. How can I get a warm feeling from art with such coolish colors? Must be pure nostalgia (and I'm only 31, so go fig). You nailed it.
Love it,man.

Jeez Louise, Stephen!! I studied and studied this great work and ALL I can catch is ...maybe... the greyish coloration on the right side of the hood is questionable... That's IT!
