One of the first to use "House of Colors" paint applied to boats, with fades that were perfection.Though he is pretty much retired now. Ed
It's true. I did semi-retire after my wife, Jody, died in 1998. The final straw that led to my hibernation was the constant abuse from Pat "Miller Lite" Houghey, now of Active Sonic Thunder USA. But he's okay once you get past the facade. At least he had the good sense to team up with Jay. And Frank.
Pat really does some fantastic collision work, though. Go see him when you back your BMW into your outdrive. (Seriously, he builds an incredible boat).
Honestly, I think that Chris at Grafik EFX does some solid work. I feel honored to even be mentioned with him and some of the other fine artists out there.
BTW, I didn't major in commercial art- i have a BFA in painting from The Memphis College of Art. Additionally, just to set the record straight, Gail was before me, but I did the first "Fine Art" crazy paint jobs on boats. The "Low Profile" 41 of Ken Denison (1988) was my first McManus Apache.
