Woolf Bike

Bill brought in another bike for Shawn to paint. As mentioned before, Bill is the owner of the magazine called "Luv 2 Bike".

The frame is competely stripped, and Shawn is sanding it, preparing for the primer.

Next, Shawn sprayed the primer, and will begin the painting process.

Now, Shawn is seen lettering the 'Luv 2 bike' logo in black, red, and white.


Since Bill's last name is Woolf, he asked Shawn to incorporate a wolf to personalize his bike. Shawn is airbushing a wolf, howling at the moon.

Caleen's Rhino

Caleen brought in her rhino for Shawn to paint. Her request was for the paintjob to be unisex. Together they decided on a tribal design, surrounded by a sheet metal effect, and a lace pattern.

After the rhino parts were sanded and primered, Shawn spent hours laying out the tribal design and taping it.

After it was all taped up, Shawn sprayed purple and used cellophane to create a marble effect inside of the tribals.

Then, Shawn used black pinstripes to outline the tribals.


The next step was the sheet metal effect. After Shawn finished that, he airbrushed hibiscus flowers and a lace pattern. He finished with a small pinstripe design.

Shawn used the same process for the side panels and the tailgate, beginning with the marbelized tribal design, and finishing with the sheet metal, hibiscus and lace pattern, and a small pinstripe design. Then, he added the finishing highlights, using brown.

McGee Bike

Matt brought in his wife's bicycle for Shawn to paint.

After Shawn prepped and taped the bike off, he applied primer and white paint. He is seen sanding the primer, preparing for the color.

Pink was the chosen color for the base coat, and white darts adorn the neck.
Next, Shawn sprayed fushia flake, covering the entire bike, masking off only the white portions. Then, he added dark purple pinstripes. Matt came by to pick it up, and was very happy with the "bass boat effect".

Red Rock Canyon Edition Hummer

Inspired by Nevada's Red Rock Canyon, Shawn painted this "Red Rock Edition" H2 for proud owners, Mr. and Mrs. Menschel. The mural features the mountains in a sunset with many different colors in pearl.

American Quad

Danny Sanders brought in his son, Colton's, quad for Shawn to paint. Colton has been away on a mission for the past 2 years. Danny promised this as a gift for Colton upon his return. Now that that time is nearing, Colton has sent a few simple requests, one of them being that no one is to paint the plastics, except for Shawn Ealy. Colton asked for the plastics to be American themed. Shawn is very happy to do this for Danny and Colton, and he hopes that when Colton returns, he is happy with his paintjob.

Shawn began the process by sanding down the parts.

Next, he airbrushed red and white on the ends, and will include stars to resemble the American flag.

Shawn is seen adding detail to the "US Air Force Thunderbirds" in formation, with a paintbrush.

Next to the 'Thunderbirds' is a ghosted image of the Statue of Liberty.

On the side, Shawn painted a ghost image of the head of an eagle.


Shawn airbrushed another ghosted image of the six men raising the American flag.

Though a ghosted image is hard to capture on camera, this close-up displays the Twin towners.

1953 Panhead:Vietnam Memorial

This week, Shawn is painting a 1953 Panhead for Rick, who is a Vietnam veteran.

Today, we have it in primer and Shawn is sanding the guide coat away. Tonight, it will be House of Kolor Black. Shawn's friend, Dale, said it is one of the deepest black bases he has worked with, so Shawn wanted to try it out.

Now that the black is on, it is time for Shawn's favorite part, the artwork.

Shawn painted the P.O.W. M.I.A. logo with lettering underneath that reads, 'Help Bring Them Home. You Will Not Be Forgotten.'
On the other tank, Shawn painted the Marine Corps logo.

Shawn is using a 1 inch double zero size brush, which enables him to detail the artwork with fine lines.

Finally, Shawn added clouds and mountains for the background.

Rick came in to see the artwork before it was cleared, and gave 100% approval with a smile on his face.



These logos have great sentimental value to Rick, and serve as a tribute to his services and all of the men that were out there with him.

Now that Rick has the tanks back with the artwork on them, he decided to bring in his fenders to have them done as well. Shawn is in the beginning stage of sanding the fenders.

After they were prepped and sanded, it was time to spray on the black. Rick asked Shawn to put the fallen soldier statue with the phrase 'All Gave Some, Some Gave All' on his rear fender . When this is finished, it will complete the Vietnam Memorial bike.


Shawn is airbrushing black to shadow the boots and helmet.

Shawn added shoelaces on the boots, and barbwire around them for finishing touches.

The front fender is outlined with pinstriped barbwire.


Rick stopped by today to bring in the finished project. If you pay attention to the details from the chrome to the artwork, this is one of the most intricate panheads out there.

Tribal rhino

Johnny brought in his wife's rhino for Shawn to custom paint. The theme for the rhino is completely tribals.

While Shawn sands on the primered parts, Johnny stands next to him, trying to decide on a color.

Shawn based all of the parts in red, and is seen taping off the tribal designs.

As seen, the taping process of the hood and the tailgate of the rhino is almost complete and prepared for the next step.


After everything is taped off, Shawn applies orange for one layer of tribals.


Once the orange is dry, Shawn sprays purple for the second layer of tribals.





Once the purple and orange have been applied, Shawn uses various shades of purple and yellow for shredded pinstripes around the edges.

Las Vegas Bulldogs

The Las Vegas Bulldogs Softball team just got their equipment trailor adorned with a brand new logo. Shawn was happy to do this for the coaches and players, especially after hearing that this is such a positive thing for the girls. The coach had nothing but good things to say about each and every player. The girls are all very well-rounded, and not only excel in softball, but also in school.

GO BULLDOGS!!

Robert Taylor Elementary Cont.

Now that Shawn is finished with the large mural in the courtyard at Robert Taylor Elementary, he is now working inside the library on numerous smaller murals.

The general theme for the library murals is story book sceneries.


The center of this mural is a large sun, rising above an open book.


One story book item that children are drawn to is a big castle.


Another story book character that children like is the frog who turns into a prince.


To the right of the castle, flying into a rainbow is two children in an airplane.

Roland's R/C Boat

Roland brought in his remote controlled boat for Shawn to airbrush. He is an R/C boat enthusiast, who has at least 3 other boats.

Shawn is seen taping off the cockpit and preparing it for paint.

The back of the cockpit has a sheet metal effect.

Shawn lettered the side of the cockpit with the phrase "Fly'n Hawaiian".

The back end of the boat has a mini pinstripe design. Shawn created these small lines by using the tip of his pinstripe brush.

The front of the boat also has a mini pinstripe design and traditional flames. Roland wanted the colors blue and purple, so Shawn painted the flames to transition from purple to blue.

Behind the traditional flames, Shawn also airbrushed ghost flames in pearl.

Thanks Roland! We will be seeing you soon.
