In fact, as soon as it hit me I had to grab some tools & go outside to get the piece started. A complete departure from anything I've done, this is a hot rod / chopper / Ed Roth inspired piece, complete with german helmet, and probably some mix of racing stripes, flames,etc. So now I'm all excited and want to do a few like this, and turn a few of 'em over to one of my artist friends to paint up / stripe / tattoo / whatever. This isn't my "new direction", just a new idea I feel like running with for a few pieces.....
