Von Dutch stuff that just sold at the Bonhams auction at the Peterson Museum, 2 days ago

 Somewhere these mototcycles must be the stars of someones collection... but i bet at least one of the bikes Von Dutch restored is not recognized by whoever owns it now.

the auction is the annual Collectors' Motorcars, Motorcycles and Related Memorabilia at the Peterson Museum http://www.petersen.org/default.cfm?DocID=902&CalendarID=935

the online catalog with the prices things sold for is at http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/WService=wslive_pub/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=usa&screen=catalogue&iSaleNo=19466&iSaleLotNo=133 but isn't likely to be there for long

Daytona A100 van from Problem Child Studios... very cool video of a single drawing, and making it animated

Innovative, inventive, and awesome. http://www.problemchildkustoms.com/think_fast.html

Flying eyeballs I found at SEMA

WOW airbrushed helmet.. expert painter Neimar L. Duarte in Brazil

found on http://freestylearte.blogspot.com/2011/04/capacete-do-piloto-renato-baiano-de.html

Why hasn't someone done this with a VW van?

Found in Rod and Custom Illustrated, if I recall correctly. I can't recall the artist's name, and thought I'd be able to read it. Nate Greco?

Anyway, this would grab incredible attention.

Diablo knows how to advertise!

"Miss Lead" incredibly cool art on the trunk of a car on the roundside of the Long Beach Autorama

Wow. That is one hell of a Von Dutch flying eyeball and pinstipe tribute

Kustom Shop of San Diego... paint and wax supplies and more, for pinstripping, painting, etc... huge shop

 Damn I hate when the coolest thing I see ends up the only out of focus shot I take

 Above is Meguires... below is Autoglym and the manager told me this is the only shop that carries it in San Diego... and that is the high end car detailers preferred wax for Mercedes, Jaguars, Astons etc
