image "Dry Lakes Snakes" With Certificate of Authenticity
In 2010 the last Dodge Viper
rolled off the assembly line at the Corner Avenue Assembly
Plant in Detroit, Michigan. Sleek, sexy and powerful, the Viper with a V10,
is Chrysler's answer for those seeking a super performance
sports car. Michael's high contrast, high impact, watercolor painting, captures these incredible cars as they show-off what's under the hood at one of the fastest places on earth, the Bonneville Salt Flats.

"Beep-Beep" With Certificate of Authenticity
Signed limited edition of 800 Gallery Edition canvas Targeting a youthful, and perhaps rebellious market, Plymouth chose to play up the speed, agility and “catch me if you can” attitude of the ever-elusive Road Runner in it’s branding, marketing and promotion. Borrowing the name, adorning the body with decals, and even going so far as to include a horn that went ‘beep, beep,’ Plymouth succeeded in creating an image that would carry the car well into the 1970s. Touted as being economical muscle cars, these big blocks were very appealing to a young, power hungry consumer. Today, they are sought after by collectors worldwide. Finding inspiration, as Plymouth did in 1968, from one of the most wildly popular cartoons of our generation, Michael chose America’s southwest, Monument Valley, as the backdrop for featuring these powerful muscle cars. The painting actually mirrors the creative process that began the cartoon in 1949. “[We] thought it would be funny to do a parody of chase cartoons,” said Warner Bros. animator, Chuck Jones.

"Four Barrel - Four Speeds
with Dual Exhaust" With Certificate of Authenticity
Introduced in 1964 as an option on the Oldsmobile F-85 and Cutlass models, the 442 became a model in it's own right from 1968 through '71. In 1968 and '69, when equipped with the W-30 option — which included the under bumper air scoops attached to the intake hoses that fed directly into the chrome topped dual snorkel air cleaner — these cars became true pavement-pounding muscle machines.
Featuring two of GM's premier muscle cars, the ‘68 and ‘69 Olds 442s, Four–Barrel Four–Speeds with Dual Exhaust, is the 5th painting in Michael’s “American Blacktop” Series. Michael puts you right in the path of these two bad boys … giving you a dramatic low view of what makes these Holiday Coupes so cool — the under-bumper air scoops and the striking red plastic wheel wells. Optioned with the W-30 package and complete with scoops and stripes, these high performance muscle cars enjoy tearing up a quiet country road.

"Pure as the Driven Snow" With Certificate of Authenticity
Signed limited edition of 800 Gallery Edition canvas For 1965 Ford Motor Company teamed up with Carroll Shelby to create one of the most recognized Mustangs ever produced — the Shelby G.T. 350. Shelby increased the Mustang's already potent 271hp 289ci engine, with an assortment of bolt-on goodies, bringing total horsepower to 306. The addition of a fiberglass hood, side-exiting exhaust, suspension upgrades and the removal of all non-essentials, like the backseat, transformed the sporty little Mustang into a "street legal" race car.
All '65 Shelby Mustangs were painted a Wimbledon White with twin Guardsman Blue racing stripes and matching lower side stripes. This paint scheme, which was reminiscent of the world-class Ford race cars of the day, let the public know that this was no ordinary Mustang.

"C1, See Them All" With Certificate of Authenticity
Signed limited edition of 800 Gallery Edition Canvas “I saw the first one from the road, now I see them all .... wow!”, exclaims the driver of the 2007 Vette as his fellow enthusiasts venture down to take a closer look. It’s every classic car enthusiast’s dream to come across that legendary grove of cars. Over the years, Michael has heard his share of these legends, and like many, has been skeptical of their true existence … until the summer of 2010 that is. That’s when he met “Jerry” at Carlisle, and not only heard about the field of 1000 cars, but saw the photographs, for himself.
The photographs revealed fields dedicated to many makes and models. Having been there himself, “Jerry” estimated there were actually close to 10,000 cars in total, scattered across dozens of fields. And one field was all Corvettes … including a 1967 427 Tri-Power. That was all the inspiration Michael needed for “C1, See Them All.”

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!

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.
