Now That's Art! A True Custom!

This is a present my girlfriend gave me for my birthday a while ago. She commissioned a truly talented artist that also uses a graffiti style. She kept the whole thing a secret till my b-day and I was really surprised! This was the first time he's painted a gun so it's one of a kind. Measures 24" X 30" and the gun parts are a metallic silver paint. Below are both a flash and no-flash pics to show how the colors change with angle and light. Big conversation piece with company. I'd imagine he'd make more/similar pieces if anyone was interested and has the dollars.


Does anyone else have real original works of gun art? Please post pics!

That's a cool piece. It will look great in your gun area...or ...where ever you decide to hang it! I'd say she found a truely unique gift!

I like that! Exploded 1911 with just the right amount of Peter Max!
