Alter
Boys Show !
Wow, what a premier show! Having 150 or so cars in
an intimate and nostalgic setting was like stepping back in time as soon
as you walked into the parking lot of
Ralph’s
Diner. The
Alter Boys
are well known in the northeast for
being very particular as to whom they let inside of their show; not ride
makes the cut. For this you are assured the cream of the crop when it
comes to tradionals, kustoms, and “home builts’.” I had Art Stacy, my
photographer with me
for this one too, we both agreed that this
was a show to mark on the calendar for next year. What a great way to
wrap up the end of our hot rod season in the northeast.

TYRODS 35th Annual
`Ole Timers’ Reunion
With over 900 registered hot rods, kustoms, gassers, and rat rods the
brain was in full foam the minute I walked through the gate. With me,
was my son, Tray and my good friend Arthur Stacy who assisted me by
taking photographs. Considering that it was only a 1 day event with over
900 cars to check out; meant that you almost had to jog through the
show. Add the fact that it rained cats and dogs made it even more of a
task. BUT!! No one has ever melted by being rained on; so it was all
taken in stride…. The Tyrod group also had a few special guest there in
attendance that flew all the way in from Kalifornia ;
“ SO~CALS “
own Pete Chapouris and Jimmy
Shine. It was nice to
finally meet them both in person. With constant rain bursts on and off
during the course of the day, everyone was on there toes jumping
puddles; yet no one ever complained…what a great show! Special thanks to
Arthur Stacy for the fantastik fotos!

Wow… what an event!
The skies were blue the air was “gray.” “Gray”, you ask? Why yes
it was from the smokeshows..aka..”BURNOUT Competition.”
As always I ran into
many old friends and also had the pleasure of making some new
ones. I arrived in Ct. the night before and rolled to the gate
first thing Saturday morning. WOW, I was the first one in the
parking lot (weird). Last year I was 20 rows deep and had to
thumb a ride in; guess the early bird catches the worm. There
was so much to see and be had that if you were a spectator there
is no way you would have been let down. My pencils started
rolling first thing that morning and went well into the
afternoon. I would estimate at least 500 rides of all breeds;
out of those 500 rides 15 of them got penciled in “show style
sketch” form. Thanks to the Right Coast crew for putting
on a spectacular event….~BLISS

!! Hot Rodz
n’ Kustoms come to MILLTOWN !!
Palmer, Mass.
Well if you
were a lizard you couldn’t have asked for better weather..90
plus degreez and sunny. With over 350 Hot Rods and Kustoms,
throw in the 50 or so Choppers and Bobbers and you had the
ingredients for a killer show. I also had the pleasure of
meeting “baby mike”, all 3 feet and 35 pounds of him, what a
cute “little shaver” he was.. The bands
SMASHED it out
SiDe~WaYz until 2 am
Sunday morning never letting up even for a moment. Vendors’ row
was packed with all kinds of cool stuff, pretty much anything
you wanted could be found. I also had the pleasure of kovering
this event for Ol’ Skool Rodz, promising them only the best from
the northeast. Oh!, and let’s not forget the illo. smashing~ yup
the Bat-Man bag was all set and ready to roll. Pencils sharp as
razors and fresh paper willing and able. Can you beat
that?…crazy~
These boys
@ the MILLTOWN show do everything BIG TIME, yes’sah!

!! Road
Agents Hot Rod and RoCkAbiLLy RuMbLe !!
The “Hot Rod
Kompound” was loaded with 325 cars and there
still wasn’t e’nuff room.. So they let
the over flow load up in the parking lot
just outside the gate with another 100 plus rides.
My head was on overload, so much to
see..so many cars to draw.
All I can say is that I am glad that I
had 2 days to check everything out. There’s not many shows out there
that meet the caliber of the show
held by the Road Agents, they set a standard for sure.
If you can, try and hit this show..
you’ll be so glad you did!

Well Bo’s show was
FaNtAsTiK as always!
4 bands, Mama Hagglin, Prom Night Prowlers,
Wild Turkey, and Mad Max and the wildones’ lit up the Utah night on
all 3 nights that I was there. There was much to see, as always.
Like killer flame shows, amazing rides from the western seaboard,
and ofcourse the rockabilly girls. To my misfortune I NEVER took a
single picture, guess I was busy drawing and taking it all in. BUT
to my fortune I ran into the highly accredited, Ms. Anna Marco. What
a doll, she spun me out a disk loaded with killer shots. So the
pictures you see here?, well i had nothing to do with them. I'm only
showing you a “blink”, if you want to see more? hit the show
yourself!..TRUST ME, you’ll be glad you did! Charlie/Bandit had a
great time himself, and the people there were amazed with his
pinstriping skills.. I’m so glad he decided to come along, it showed
these people what “we” boys from the
“NoRtHeAsT”
are all about. YUP, SMAK~DOWN! Bo’s show is carved into my right
forearm as a “must go to” every year from here on out. AGAIN, thank
you ANNA MARCO for the killer shots,
mighty
grand!

!! DRAGERTON,
UTAAAAAAHHHHH !!
Here we go
again..time to roll to Bo Huff’s show in Dragerton.
So who’s “WE” you ask?..WELL BANDIT and I of
course, and this time his lovely wife Anna will be hitting it with us.
Talked to Bo, and it’s even
BIGGER
and
BETTER then last year. “Koolhouse”, “Primedia”,
“ACE Energy Drink”,
“TICK Uno” and a load of ROCK~A~BILLY models will be there..even Krazy
Rick will be there from
with his own fleet of lowriders’ and kustoms. I am sure there is much I
have missed, but I’ll fill you in
when I get back along with some killer pics of course! The BAT~MAN bag
is ready (again), and I look forward
to letting my pencils catch on fire…
SpLeNdId~~
Roll out there on Thursday, and home again by Sunday..
i get tired just thinking about it…BUT HEY, somebody’s gotta’ do it,
might as well be me..time to SMAK it DOWN
all over again..next month?..

Finally got the pics in from the show, THANKS Frankie!
So
here goes, my brain was on fire the whole time I was there!
There were well over 900 cars as well as ATLEAST
100 thousand spectators in attendance during the course of the 3 day
event.
I ran into many friends such as Max Grundy, Tick, Kent Reppert, Kim
Falcon, Doug Dorr, the whole gang from “Koolhouse” publishing and Gordy
Brown. I also had the pleasure of making some new friends such the crew
from Smokin’ SHUTDOWN (
And
a SPECIAL thanks goes out to Frankie Briseno of “Greaser’s Alley” for
showing me what Kalifornia iz all about, mighty grand~
s.
!! May 23, 2007 !!
Headed out tomorrow to Paso Robles, California to attend a KILLER
show!
I’m landing in Ontario, California where I’ll be picked up by my
good friend Frankie Bresino
of “Greaser’s Alley” in his `49 Caddy (is that cool or what?) from
there we’ll roll the 5 hour trip to the show.
We’re not jetting alone either.. Along with us are several other
kats..
Guys such as Robbie Ferreira of “Koolhouse Publishing”,
Fernando“Wolf” of “RockabillyAZ.Net”,
“Varga” of “Varga’s Photography”, “TURK” the line man and several
others will make up the crew.
I’ll roll out some pics when I get back to the EaStCoAsT.
I have been assured that this show is INSANE…hope so~
My pencils are all sharpened, and the Bat-Man bag is loaded!

!! PROJECT ’54 SMAK-DOWN !!
The project?..a 1954 Chevy Bel-Air..The job?…2 let
it all hang out NORTHEAST
style!
The car arrived from Waterloo, N.Y.. The owner of this beaut?, my good
friend Jayson Bourne.
AND yes he drove that 54 the 6+ hour journey to my
ShAcK in Vermont. NO
TRAILER QUEENS here!
I also had the well-known and highly proclaimed (snicker) Charlie
Decker/”Bandit” come up from Connecticut
to do the line work on the ’54.
And me?, well I was there to lay down the
“pin-ups” and lettering.
By the end of the job’s completion we had approx. 20 hours each in the
project over the course
of the 2-day ExtRaVaGaNzA!
Jayson left that Wednesday with a smile stretched from earlobe to
earlobe…
I’d say that was mighty grand! To “roll
out” a ’54 totally
OL ‘SKOOL not only made Charlie and I feel proud, but we also know we
made that 54’s soul smile way-BIG!
And that’s what it’s all about.
Peace~

APRIL 12, 2007
The weather was perfect, and Charlie was kind enough to not cut anyone
with his sharp linez.
By the end of the event I had drawn 26 cars, my pencils were smoking!
Ran into Bo Huff and his gang,
as well as Rick Murray of “Krazy Kreations” of Colorado. This kat is one
of Amerika’s best customizers.
To be in his presence was pretty cool. I’ll be rolling out there next
year for sure. Next month?, California
for the “Paso Robles” show. A “Green Mountain Boy” on the
west coast, this should be fun! See you there…
Zoooooooooooooooooooooom~
s.
!!! VIVA LAS VEGAS !!!
I’m not rolling out there solo either. Taking my close friend Charlie
Decker..aka..
”BANDIT” with me. 2 Northeast boys jumping a plane to “Sin~City”.
This isn’t just all fun (though we will fit some in)..this is biz too~
Charlie is rolling out there with all his
sword stripers with intentions to lay some killer lines. I also believe
he is bringing band-aids in case anyone
gets cut on those sharp lines of his. And me…my Bat-Man illo. bag
loaded with my goods.
I am also covering the event for 3 syndicates while I am there.
DRIVE!, American Street Rydes, and Cruisin’ Style Magazine.
There will be much to see and do…I’ll definitely post some pics for you
all to see.
Maybe we’ll see you there? Just look for the guy on the ground SMASHING
OUT illustrations of the killer rides!
Zoooooooooooooooom~
