This piece was donated to Dana Haskin of the Westminster California Highway Patrol (CHP) for the friendship and generosity he has shown me and the service he and his family have provided this great country.

Project Faith - Family - Freedom

Below is my most recent art project.  I decided to take a break from the mosaics and make an enlarged version of the Faith. Family. Freedom logo.  It didn't take as long as I expected and I'm pretty much done with it as of today.  Below are some pictures to show my progress over the past couple weeks.  Feel free to let me know what I should change or add.  Thanks!

Here is an inspirational motorcycle video that I put together with a fellow biker friend of mine.  I have been wanting to shoot something for a while now and finally got around to doing it.  There will be more of these to come, so check back.  Hope you enjoy it!

LOVE RIDE 2010

I thought I would take a minute to finally write about my experience going to LOVE RIDE 2010, from this past November.  This was the first event I have attended as a HARLEY DAVIDSON owner and I have to say I had a really great time and the fact that it benefitted Autism Speaks was a bonus.   I was in shock half the day because I have never seen so many motorcycles in one place before.  It was truly a site to see.

Pre-Registration was at the Harley-Davidson/Buell of Glendale on Sunday, November 7th at 8:00 am.  I met up with the HAMSTERS (they let me tag along) over at Calamigos Ranch and got a chance to learn a little more about motorcycle clubs, gangs, chapters, etc.  It was really interesting to learn about all the history and etiquette involved in the biking world.  I am looking forward to the next time I get to meet up with them.

It was great to see Jay Leno there doing his thing as he has such a great personality and everyone in the motorcycle world seems to really respect his love and passion for vehicles and bikes.  I should have gotten closer prior to taking this picture but what are you gonna do.

The bike "stunt" show they had was actually pretty cool and the Tri-tip and BBQ chicken was really tasty!!!  During lunch I got a chance to meet some bad-ass biker chicks, that invited us out to a bar after the event.  I can't remember the name of the bar for the life of me, but that's probably becuase I got hammered there off of Marg's and beer.

I will definitely be going again this year!

A Bloggers Centerline Day, or ABCD

4th Place in the Centerline Competition!!!!

Location: Pacific Palisades, CA

I chose this location for my "ABCD" photo because it is a hidden road that no one else knows about.  It's just off of the Pacific Coast Highway and at the top of this road you are able to look over the entire Pacific Ocean.   Driving up this two-lane road I always feel like I am entering a tropical jungle.  There are no street lights, traffic, or lack of serenity.  I feel that the road represents me in a way; it's off the beaten path and original.  It felt necessary to give a "shout out" to HARLEY DAVIDSON, as I am on a 2010 Sportster, Forty-Eight model.  Special thanks to Jon Wald, who assisted creatively.

Hope you like it!
