Quotes From Jason

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Rough Edit of 1st Glovers Garage Feature



This was the first little project I shot with video. This took place last summer and just never got around to putting the footage together. I used my brother's Canon GL2 which is pretty sweet but I had no idea how to use it. I have a much better idea of what I want to do next time so hopefully these features will improve with practice. I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 for the editing which is another steep learning curve. I was hoping since it was an Adobe product it would be a quick learn but the interface and tools are completly different from any of the other Adobe programs. I'm hoping to add 5 or 6 of these GloversGarage features over the next couple months.

Falcon Motorcycles

I came across this amazing Triumph bike built by Falcon Motorcycles earlier this week. The attention to detail on this classy bike is hard to beat. Falcon has a very clean asthetic which they liken to "the tailoring of a fine suit".

Practice practice practice

It's been a while since I've done any pinstriping practice so I finally broke out the brushes and here's the results. I'm still pretty rusty but I plan to start practicing on a more regular basis and hopefully by the end of the summer I'll be ready to actually lay down something permanent on one of the cars.

Chris's '49 Cadillac Sedanette Series 61


New Acquisition

With all of my brothers talk of fancy collectible art prints I caught the bug and picked up this lovely signed and numbered print from Adam Turman. It's an 18x24, 2 color screen print on fancy blue 100lb french cover paper. I hope to have it framed and displayed very soon.


Here's one that I purchased a while back from Dwayne Vance and is already framed. Dwayne is a super cool and talented guy. He's got some amazing illustration work. If I had the money I'd buy one of everything he's put out so far. I also purchased one of his first T-shirt designs and wear it proudly. I highly recommend checking out Future Elements.

Jesse James Workwear

Just stumbled across Jesse James Workwear. While I sit behind a desk all day, I do consider myself a weekend warrior and I do like the workwear asthetic quite a bit. There are a few items I would buy for sure. The photo campain is pretty cool. It's a lot like the way I would have shot it, which is probably why i like it.

A Little One Shot

I pinstriped these sunglasses for Tyson a good while back but never posted a pic of it. I'm still learning but I think they turned out pretty good considering. It was a very tricky task to stripe something so small as I'm used to flat pieces of glass but everyone has to start somewhere.
