Heck of a lot of detail there. I bet it gets a lot of attention! How long did it take to do that, and I bet it never gets lost in a crowd?

thanks everyone....
took me about a week just on the tank.. i havent yet taken the side panels off and done them and havent done the back and front fender yet either...

Yes i do my own work... I am a freelance artist doing anything from tie dyes to graphic arts to hand paintings... www.happykyndarts.com
I have done huge murals on vw bus's/beetles & all sorts of things..

thanks for all the kynd words on the bike...
I wanted something different and fitting for me and my personality...
So i went with the grateful dead . The roses were a must... there will be more of those on the fenders and some other surprises later on that will be pretty cool.. will post up when i finally am done with it... but before i can finish the bike
i must start another vw bus next week(tues)... I am pulling the motor from it today and pulling it apart and fixing it and reinstalling it before i can start the bus today and tomorrow... Its a hightop and i got something super sweet in store for it.. ;)

stimpy... as far as behind it i hope i answer you right...
i use one shot auto paints and a steady hand painting everything ;)
be glad to answer any questions yall might have thanks for checking it out...

Peace

I really love the roses on the tank! Beautiful job.

BTW, check your links "Home Sewn" and "Hemp Goodies".... might just be me, but those 2 pages wouldn't display.
