Red Robin customer designs his own artwork

My client, Rick, contacted me after he went to a Red Robin restaurant near his home and saw the commercial work I've done for the restaurant chain as part of their nationwide restoration. He found me through a quick google search.

He is a big fan of the Drive-By Truckers and wanted a piece of art to represent them for his home. We spoke on the phone for about 30 minutes. I took in all the things he loves about the band during the call.

After searching for vintage tags and getting the colors to match the the flavor of the band, I started creating the piece.

I love working with clients to create that custom piece of artwork that you can't buy in a store.

Thanks, Rick, for working with me and sending the photos of the piece in your home, and for sharing your comments below.

"Peter. Looks fantastic! You really nailed it. Thanks so much. Attached are several shots of the piece in situ (in my study).  It’s really fantastic.  Couldn’t be happier with the way it came out.  Thanks again."

You and Me - Dave Matthews = Friendship

This License Plate Guitar Art tells the story of friendship.

When I first spoke to Bob he told me he wanted a piece that would showcase his personal connection with one of his clients. They had been to a Dave Matthews concert at the Alpine Valley in Wisconsin.

"That's where we really started connecting as friends, and it remains one of the strongest connectors we have," Bob said. It always comes back to music with us."

With Bob’s input, I added his client's personal information to create an amazing personalized gift.

What makes this guitar art special is its features:

• Where they met in Maine.
• Their wedding date and their children’s names.
• The states they've lived in are featured on the body.
• Around the right side are some of their favorite Dave Matthews songs, "41," "You and Me."

Thanks Bob for helping create this amazing gift.
