Hey Swanky thanks for posting this.
Just to let everyone know it is oil on canvas 24 x 36 inches.
If you would like a little insight into how it's done you can check out an article I wrote for "My Ride Is Me". The nice folks over there asked me to do a tutorial and this article is what I came up with.

Thank you all for the kind words.
A big thank you to Swanky for letting me photograph his collection.

P.S. I use the same techniques for the photo real work. The only difference is that a lot more time is taken to refine each brush stroke rather than letting the brush strokes show.
