Custom Automotive & Rider Art Commissions
Whether it is the roar of a motorcycle or the horizon from a plane window, I capture the spirit of your machine on canvas and wood.
For all the motorcycle lovers, this one is for you. Here is my attempt to freeze a moment of travel with a Royal Enfield against a majestic mountain backdrop. This piece is all about the spirit of adventure and the freedom of the open road.
This painting, "The Chase," captures the feeling of a solitary night ride under a vast, starry sky. I wanted to create a sense of adventure and mystery as the biker heads down a winding road, guided by the moonlight. It’s a tribute to all bullet lovers and night riders.
Fly high! I loved painting on this unique oval wooden canvas. This piece captures an airplane during takeoff, with the warm colors of the sunset reflecting on the runway. It’s a dynamic piece that evokes the excitement of travel and new beginnings.
Here is a look at my setup for the airplane painting. A quick weekend project that was so much fun to create on this wooden canvas. You can see my paints, palette, and the artwork in progress.
About Automotive & Rider Art
When you commission an automotive piece, we start by looking at your favorite ride photos. I do not just copy the image; I merge elements to create a cleaner composition, removing visual clutter like background traffic or signs so the focus stays entirely on the machine or the rider’s silhouette. We will chat about your preferred vibe—whether it is a night ride or a sunrise trip—to ensure the final piece feels like your own memory frozen in time.
As an engineer, I appreciate the design and mechanics of machines, and I love translating that into art. My automotive work typically falls into two categories: canvas paintings for a classic look or specialty wood plank art for something unique.
My Process
I work primarily with acrylics, layering colors to build depth and texture.
- Canvas: I use high-quality, fine-grain canvas for portraits, ensuring smooth details for vehicles.
- Wood Planks: For a more rustic, textured feel, I paint on sanded, primed wooden planks, which often include hanging hardware so it is ready for your wall immediately.
- Timeline: Because I apply two coats of varnish for UV and dust protection, please allow 2-3 weeks for the layering and drying process.
Why Commission with Me?
I believe in the mantra 'Trust the process,' and I bring that patience to every project. Whether you want a painting of your Royal Enfield, a specific car, or even an airplane, I am happy to experiment with the surface and the mood.
More importantly, art is my way of giving back. A portion of the proceeds from every automotive commission is donated to help treat injured street animals. When you hang a piece of my art, you are supporting a cause that is very close to my heart.
