[Head Roller]

If you happen to be local or are going to be in Colorado this Labor Day Weekend, be sure to stop by and say HI at the Thunder in the Rockies Rally in Loveland!!

[Annie]

Wow!
Booth looks sweet! Nice work Mike and Diana. I'm sure you will have a ton of visitors. Have a happy labor day weekend!

Like she said. WOW! That is one cool set up. That will be the center of attention. Thanks for showing us Diana.

[rowie]

Like Don and Annie have stated.. WOW!!

I have no idea how you managed to clear the crowd in order to take the pictures. I'm surprised you haven't been contacted by NASA to put a cover over it, I'm sure the Astronauts are being severely distracted.

Top work guys.

[anderekel]

[air conan]

[shane]

Dammit! That has got to be ,(hands down), the most fantastic display I have ever seen! All you need now is a 60" plasma in the background sitting on top of a kegorator......hehe:D

[Jake Kobrin]

Wow! I would hijack a plane and fly to Colorado to see that! Amazing! And I see you have an easel set up... shall the web cam be on while your painting?

Well, It was our first showing in CO. Finally let people know where I am at. So many people approached thinking that we were still in AZ. Not surprising with all of the effort we have put into trying to make a home here. Totally putting off the promotion. I put my eggs in other baskets for a while when I first got up here. Things are different now and we are agressively smacking people in the face with my art. HEHEHEH. The display was a giant hit. I forgot how much of a draw my chopper was. It was getting looks like it was from outer space. Oh, and the manequin was the biggest hit of all. I could have sold that thing dozens of times over. Some plans take time and effort, this one was better than we could have expected. The work and effort paid off. When you put your best foot out there.....Make a deep print.

WHOA... Awsome set up. ' Wish I had been there, but I was too busy lounging in the pool this weekend (about 900 miles away). HA! I see ya have some T-Shirts hangin there. Are you going to sell any in your store? 'Would be a VERY popular item. By the way...love your new site...it's addictive!

[crank]

The display looks awesome guys.......that's great that it was a huge success...........cool manequin body too!.....if you made womens shirts like that, they could no longer say......Hey, eyes are up here buddy!!!..hehehehe..........congrats again!!!!

I'm jealous. Nice setup!! ;) I'm hoping to hit some local bike shows/rallies next spring/summer. Still trying to get my garage/shop finished. Had issues with leaks in the roof. So, since I have to gut the roof anyway, I'm going to raise it. Which will be a plus. There will be additional room to add a loft for storage space.

Hey Diana,
When you say "swamped".. is that swamped answering questions all day? I normally airbrush t-shirts when I'm out at shows. So I'm swamped with t-shirt orders all day.

Since Mike does not rely on t-shirts to make a living, I can only assume your days are spent answering questions, showing samples from your numerous photo albums and maybe complete a demo piece or two.

I think I'd get sick of hearing myself talk after a few hours. LOL ;)

That is just too cute!! I could picture my son doing that in a few years. Dad slings paint on tees and he can do tats. LOL

I'll bet she was the hit of the show.

[bob mc]

I shouldn't really answer for Diana... but she seems to be the single busiest person I've ever known.

This site... the AB Mag... and quite a bit more (the business side of Mikes painting) only exist at this level of quality...or at all... because of her.

Well, as they say;

"Behind every great man is an even greater woman"

I'd be totally lost or dead if it wasn't for my beautiful wife Kathy

YES! Our booth was packed with people talking and asking and looking ... we heard a whole lot of "What are YOU guys doing at THIS show?".. and then when we said we had relocated... people were thrilled. That reaction just proved to us that we were doing a very important thing at this show... letting people know we are local. It is nice to know that they they know who we are... but they need to know that we are local now. That is why we are really pumping up the local and regional marketing right now.

The "cute" factor NEVER hurts at a show. Micah has been going to shows with us since she was about 3 and we always set her up with her own little thing.... it never fails to attract attention and it makes her feel like part of the action.
