Thank you. I could do some of the PBF shirts using a MINI. From the looks of my day job, I may have a lot more time to devote to painting really soon. Email me if you're interested.

I'll need to step carefully here as I'm sure NAM doesn't want me pushing my wears here... Any requests should be done off of NAM. I have my website and a facebook (under my name and under a AirBoston Graphics fan page too)

Yes I do custom work; that's all I do. My tee shirts are done by using an owner provided picture, sketching the design on the shirt and painting it. Sometimes I'll use a stock photo or my own drawing and just add owner requested touches (such as the one fender in primer on the 914 above).

I haven't touched my airbrushes in a long time though. I need to spend a day getting my studio back in operating order. I've already planned on doing some MINI fine art (ish) stuff that's only in sketch format right now. What I tell all of the people who order from me right now is that I'm a hobbyist not a business. My two real jobs and dad duties come before my painting hobby. At least for the moment anyway.

I got one email on this. I'll do some work today on a my stuff since I"m home with a sick kid anyway. Maybe I can do a stencil and cut some costs.

edit: Oh I have to do something to replace that PBF 914 photo; it's so old. That was one of the first shirts I"ve ever painted. My lettering and paint control is way better now.

Thanks everyone. Now back on topic...

Just got a new decal. Gig'em and God Bless. (gig'em is an aggie thing). I am thinking of putting it on my roof over my door or the passenger door.

And we need to get a jump on badges or stickers. Can anyone else pump out some designs? I am swamped at work and school.

Continue to be bright and salty!

Hey everyone. I just wanted to wish everyone a blessed Valentines day. The Aggieland Club and the Houston Mini Club are going down to the Ronald McDonald House next to MD Anderson to serve breakfast and let the kids enjoy our cars.

Feel free to post how you spent your valentines or a way you served someone recently.

Remember, your mini is a gift. Use it to give back and bless others as much as possible!

Thought with President's Day just about here it would be nice to read our first President's prayer for our nation. From George Washington-

' Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.'

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know, if you didn't already, that Hillsong United will be making an American tour this April. If you don't know Hillsong, go to church and look at who wrote the music you sing. 10 bucks says at least 2 are from Hillsong. They are a mega church in Sydney AU and let me tell you, I saw them in Dallas last summer, afterwards, I vowed that if they EVER came to Texas again, I wouldn't miss it. It was one of the best worship experiences of my life.

I am going to the Austin show on April 24th.

And on that note, lets start a new topic. Is there a song that is on continuous repeat on your ipod? Mine is King of all days by, who else, Hillsong United.

I took the day off from my day job yesterday due to my tennis elbow pain. I took a little time to get my studio back together again (almost) and decided to do a quick sketch on a tee shirt. Paint will come soon.

Typically I paint on the front unless I'm going a seperate image on the front breast or unless the person requests the back.

Hello,

I'd like to join the group! There are times I have to tell myself that it is just a car. I do give thanks to God that I am blessed enough to drive a MINI. I just have to keep the big picture in perspective and not dwell on my car too much That's what my sister told me

Amen! I was really uptight at first, at least for me, but I think that I've calmed down a lot because in the grand scheme of things, it is just a car. For instance, my sister will be learning to drive soon. If she should ever have an accident while in my car, I hope and believe that I would keep things in perspective. Yes the car could be totaled but Bonnie would have given her life to protect my sister, who is worth far more to me than a car. So yeah, I'm with you there!

Also, when I've had a really crappy day, I try to remind myself that yes, this sucks, but I have eternal life. It really helps me.
