SunDAZE!

Welcome aboard Lewis "illewsion" A childhood best friend who lives in Seattle Wa. One of the funniest best dudes I know, talented artist, musician, and thinker! I have been really slacking on posting and it is rad to see so many others contributing and keeping the fluidity of the posts. There are a few dormant contributors that I wish would bust out! Here are some inspirational and silly images to pop start my post engine and get the motor running again so we can ride out!













Coast to Coast Painter/Artist on Seattle News

Brief History for those that don't know me. I moved to seattle in the summer of 99 from Media Pa, to explore, travel, and to experience life. I'm a painter by trade and have been doing it for almost 15yrs. I appreciate art, music, artists, and true craftsmanship. I started a company in Seattle 7 years ago Coast to Coast Painting Plus, and have seen many talented and not so talentd painters come and go. I've been really lucky to have met, lived with, and made new freinds with artists from all over and introduced to other artists. My latest connection is to a guy that called me for a job interview. I was like, I'm busy and have no time...he was persistant and said he knew a couple guys that worked with me and that he was an artist/sign painter and that he interned with espo...so I gave him a shot. He turned out to be a good guy with super artistic talent. Here he is working on a local mural with other artists after a long hard days work with my company still rockin' the Coast to Coast whites and tee. I thought this was super cool. Check out the mural and of course the "Coast To Coast Logo" on the local Seattle News!

Straight 70's shit


SO I stopped down to the shop next door, (Fluffy Baby Kitten Heads) to ours the other day and there is this on the lift. Vin told me it was the guy Stan's from down the street. Ive met this guy a few times, hes in a wheelchair now from a stroke. Stan built this thing in like 66-67 when he rode for a local "club". Stan went away for a few years and covered the whole thing in a thick layer of vasoline. Looks like it was put together yesterday chrome is perfect. Fired right up with about 20 min work.This bike is oozing with style check out the drilled and pinned chain. Not pictured is the original corbin king/queen seat in white with the inspected by Lynn sticker still on it. If any of you are interested its for sale contact me d.daughenbaugh@yahoo.com
