I actually extended my stay by a day just to spend a little bit of time with the man. In the end, thanx to Richard I got a tour of his facility and got to see the motorcycle shop too. While the screen printing place is like many more (magic is in Andy's head not the equipment), motorcycle place was impressive to say the least. I spent good 30 min looking at the details and finish on the green bike and could have stared it for at least another hour. There were several bikes in various stages of fabrication and it was cool to see how much work it goes into producing one of those pieces of art.

For any of those not familiar with Andy's work, he is in my opinion the best printer in the US right now. He regularly takes ALL the medals at the ISS and SGIA competitions in all of the categories he enters. what is less know is that he is a world class motorcycle fabricator/designer and his work is regularly on the cover of the big motorcycle magazines (think Orange County Chopper style bikes). Andy is the second from the left in the picture posted by Johnny.
