Each piece of artwork is handcrafted from vintage license plate shaped and molded to create the effect of a guitar. I use the reflective qualities of the license plates to tell Tom Petit's amazing story. I featured the song American girl because I wanted to go with a colorful, red, white and blue theme, iconic image in the center hall is a small mosaic created of him from license plates. Clear epoxy is applied. Some of the plates are painted to highlight the reflective qualities of others if you're looking for the most unique one of a kind gift for a Tom Petty fan this is it you can't buy this in the store.
