image "They Came With The Farm Too" With Certificate of Authenticity
Signed limited edition of 800 giclee on paper
Artists Proof with remarque of your choice
Signed limited edition of 50 Gallery Edition giclee on canvas The story of the Mopar dream-find that Michael created in "They Came With the Farm" struck a chord with Mopar enthusiasts around the world. Everyone seemed to find a connection with the painting. The response was amazing. In hearing stories of collections ranging in size from 2 to 400 cars, it became obvious that the story wasn’t complete. The incredible sequel is a continuation of the first painting. Where one scene leaves off, the other begins — making this one of Michael’s most unique and challenging pieces to date. As well as making it a highly collectible set. With a scene capturing over 25 cars, "They Came With The Farm Too", brings together the ultimate Mopar collection: Cudas, Darts, Dusters, Superbees, Challengers, and Chargers to name a few! There are so many, they are even parked on the hill off in the distance. And, there are more rare finds in the old barn!

"Boss Building" With Certificate of Authenticity
Signed limited edition of 800 giclee on paper
Artists Proof with remarque of your choice
Signed limited edition of 50 Gallery Edition giclee on canvas Following the highly acclaimed, Any Color So Long As It's Black the second painting in Michael's 'Building Horsepower Series', Boss Building lets us take a peek into the past — to catch a glimpse of where one of the world's most famous big blocks got it's start. To compete in Nascar with the new Boss 429 engine, Ford had to make this monster motor available to the general public. So, in 1969, FoMoCo unleashed this bad boy, the Boss 429! Built at the Kar Kraft Brighton Michigan Plant, these new Boss Mustangs received numerous performance upgrades, including, but not limited to, a beefed up suspension and moving the battery to the trunk. The only visual clues to the car's transformation, were a small decal on the front fender and a not-so-subtle hood scoop — body color in 1969 and black in 1970. Michael takes us back in time to a summer day in 1969 as a Grabber Green Boss rolls off the line. Inside the building, an engine is being lowered into the next street racer. 'Joe' in quality control checks under the hood of a Grabber Blue '70, while the train loaded with Bosses and Shelbys leaves the plant.

“When the Motor City Marauders approached me about doing a painting
featuring the 2003/2004 Marauder, they mentioned that each year they put on
a show at the Burger King right on Woodward Ave. When Linda, the kids, and I
attended the Cruise a few years back, it seemed like Duggan's was definatley
a hot spot. I liked the look of the awning and signage at dusk - it provided
the perfect luminescent backdrop I was looking for. Turns out, it's also
right across the street from the Burger King, making it the perfect setting
for the painting.

It's
the early '70s and a summer storm has just passed, leaving in it's wake a
service station doing a booming business. Now that the driver of the
dual tanker truck has done his job, the Cudas are circling - eager to fill
their tanks!
Michael's
comment: "I've always liked the idea of adding a gasoline
tanker as the primary reflective surface in one of my paintings. The
way the tanker's shape compressed reflections presented an interesting
challenge, that I couldn't resist.

Signed limited edition giclee on canvas Most all automotive enthusiasts have, at some time, probably had a car or two they had every intention of restoring, just never got around to it. But even as the car just sits there, no matter what shape it's in, they still enjoy looking at it ... glad to have that 'diamond in the rough' in their collection!
"The Goat Farmer" is the 5th painting in Michael's Muscle Car Landscape Series. The setting and story were inspired by the GTO's nickname and by the people who hang on to their car collections, no matter what. Some hope to restore them eventually, while others are content to watch nature take it's toll.
No matter what kind of collector you are or the condition of the cars, we all have one thing in common ... we love muscle cars and sometimes, we take pleasure in just looking at them!
Considered by many to be the first muscle car built, this painting is the ultimate tribute to one of history's most trend setting automobiles. From the legendary Tri-power of the '66 GTO to the tire-scorching might of the 400 ci Ram Air IV equipped Judge, this gathering of goats contains some of the most memorable high-performance Pontiacs ever created.

Whenever I see a green '67
or '68 Mustang fastback, I immediately, and without thinking, conjure up
images of Lt. Frank Bullitt piloting his Mustang down the streets of San
Francisco in pursuit of the menacing 1968 Charger. From
the first time I watched the movie, "Bullitt," I thought to myself
... "That looks like fun. I would love to do that!" ... As
with most of Michael's work, it's all in the details.
