Painting of my truck.

This post was updated on .
A couple of years ago now my wife surprised me on my birthday with a painting of my truck. The artist is a very good friend of ours who is super talented. He has done many paintings and specialises on automotive images. His work is truly stunning and looks almost photographic!


If you want to check out some more of his pics have a look at his facebook page,

That truly is superb!  Amazing!  I checked out his FB page and he's truly gifted.  I think I'll pass his contact info on to my family, just in case.  (But, I have to get a truck done, first.  )

LOL!  Yes, that's them.  More likely Janey though.  But, I'd need the truck closer to done than it is as a number of things will have changed from any of the pics I have.  Certainly the stance with the D60 and SuperDuty springs under the front.  And the OX locker peeking out depending on the viewpoint.  And the discussion about the black grille and headlight doors, and maybe even windshield moulding, would make a difference.

The windshield molding and door handles can be powder coated!

This is another truly stunning painting of his. The guys name is Anth Knight and he is based over here in the UK. If any of you were to want him to paint your truck I'm sure the distance wouldnt be a problem for him.
I am not on comission from him, just letting you know what a huge talent he is.
