Thanks for sharing Scott. I've seen tons of "stock" skins before. It's cool to see something different.  waytogo

It would be cool to see it on a ride, too bad there are no headlight holes.

I can't imagine how difficult it would be for an artist to paint on a 3 dimensional canvas like that. A flat canvas has no crevices and no concave or convex surfaces to alter the sense of depth or shading so an artist has a fixed plane from which to build a scene. Painting onto an object that will be viewed from an infinite number of angles would wreak havoc with a traditional painters sensibilities I'd imagine. I'd be interested to know what Arie thought of this.

DLS,
what's the story behind the art?  Did you ask him to do it? Did he ask you?  Was he in the warehome one day and say that he wanted to paint your 1098?  I was always interested on how this came about.  I've seen it at your pad about 4-5 times, but never inquired.

I've known Arie about 12 years, & I do all the photography of his paintings, & also portraits of him, for his catalogs & web site.
We barter, so i've got about 2 dozen of his paintings... I don't know where I got the inspiration, but this last go-around I asked Arie to paint the track skins. He was reluctant at 1st, but the more we talked, the more he got into it. He had free reign, with no input from me. waytogo

Thanks for the link but I've found the internet to be too cold and impersonal for my taste when it comes to conversations about experience.
