Side Projects

So I have a couple of side projects that I thought i'd share.  First, a few months back I started a custom skateboard.  Took a regular skateboard, cut it down with a jig saw, sanded it and painted it.

 And here are the results...

Also Recently I Began Building my bar.  These first 2 photographs show the initial stages.  I plan on Inlaying tons of bottle caps in a clear countertop resin for the top.  As you can see it was already in use in the earliest of stages.

 Both of these photographs were taken on November 17 2009. 

Here are some shots a little later in the game.  When I started laying out these bottle caps, I thought I had plenty.  They Barely spanned the length of the bar twice...  

  These photographs were taken on November 20th 2009

stolen painting...

Here's some news... so recently a painting was stolen from North Star Bar.  I had a show up for a couple of months and that said painting happened to be mine.  Not too happy about it... though I am oddly flattered...  In any case, the painting happened to be one of my favorites.  If anyone has any news about this, I would be extremely grateful to hear it.  Included below is the painting that was taken...
