Playing around with effects again. This is an old drive in sign that still exists on old Rt 66. The drive in is long gone, but the sign remains.

A few years ago I had a friend of mine at work create this graphic of our buggy. Then took some artistic license :twisted: and borrowed an idea from an old ad.

The Deserter Owners a few years back commissioned Dave Deal to alter the image everyone has seen that he did of a Bounty Hunter:

Image

They paid him to modify it by putting Alex Dearborn (the Bruce Meyers of Deserters) in the driver's seat and change a few other small details to make the buggy a Deserter GT. I really like the end result.

It is our own memorial to Dave.

Here's another one-off metal etching art pieces that Gary Holbrook created. Gary donated this piece to the Manx On The Banx's silent auction to assist with fund raising.

Pictured (L-R) John Marcinka, Keith Dusharme - new owner, some California kid - Bruce Meyers, and Gary Holbrook - artist

I've added to our buggy art collection with this custom art piece that was used for the 2015 Manx Over The Falls logo. This is one of two (the other belongs to Bruce Meyers) original art pieces. I'm proud to be the caretaker of this one.

Not sure if this is art, but my buddy who was an art teacher took the picture during a party in the early 80's. Yea, that's me baby!
