2006 Recap
As we look back over 2006, we have to smile. We did some interesting things, met some fascinating people and learned about the lives and the art of a number of different artists - not just airbrush artists, but also oil painters, sculptors and custom bike and hot rod builders. Artists all. Here’s a quick recap for you as we reminisce on the places and people we had the pleasure of getting to know in 2006.
