Two hand painted guitars on display at Riot Fest in Chicago!
I was offered an opportunity to paint not one, but two guitars to be on display with Punk Rock and Paintbrushes during Riot Fest. The first for Cobra Starship and the next, for Jack White! Such an honor to be included at the fest with these legendary artists.
I put together a HOW TO paint on a guitar video that I thought might be helpful to other artists or interested parties. You can check that out here.
