standing watch nearby, the "gemini giant" welcomes you to the launching pad...click image to buy an equally large version of the "gemini giant" for a wall near you...and for those who wonder, that is real smoke wafting up, a fluke as an old oil burning clunker pulled in as the photo was taken...

10 panels: 257" x 79" (21' 5" x 6' 5")

as you can see, this dynamic work of art needs a very large wall to be properly displayed...if you've got a big empty wall, or know of such a wall, be sure to get in touch...for pricing and even more information about this fantastic piece click here...to see more of my artwork for very large walls go here...

about my art

2006-08-15T00:25:00.000-07:00

all the artwork shown here is for sale...I've created a number of standard sizes that are printed directly to canvas, gallery wrapped (which just means the image wraps around the stretcher frame and does not require a frame, although you can easily have it framed if that works for you) and can be purchased directly through this site...however, that isn't the whole story...the work I produce is available in many other sizes and configurations...a visit to my website will give you a few more ideas beyond what you see here...I am known for the multi-panel configurations I create...if you have or know of a large empty wall be sure to keep me in mind...

here is an example of a multi-panel piece...it was specifically created for a 12' x 8' wall...

I am always looking for new ways to expose (and sell) my artwork to others...so please do not hesitate to contact me if you have an idea or two you would like to share...and if you have or know of any opportunities along route 66, well you get the idea...

thanks for stopping, I hope you enjoyed my work and please check back often (or subscribe) to see what's new...

oklahoma is where it all began...officially on november 26, 1926 route 66 was born from ideas generated by charismatic oklahoman businessman cyrus stevens avery...he envisioned a route connecting the midwest to california and that that route should pass through oklahoma...with the road would come economic development...and so it did, in spades...

in the entrepreneurial spirit of the old road, I will showcase the works of art I have created from the inspirations found along the way and all works will be available for sale...special requests are always encouraged...
