Tom Fritz did a cool painting a while back with my truck in it. I could not show it on here until it was realeased at Sturgis. I've been busy and have not been able to post much lately.. Its called Fertilizer Salesman.

Its already printed though. And he sold the original too

Bitchen... it would have been cool if you could have gotten the original... but a copy will be just as cool properly mounted and framed...

He is a really cool guy. He has alot of knowledge of the cars and bikes he paints.

Let me know if anyone is interested in his prints . Maybe we can get a hamb discount if you order anything tell him I told you about it and he might cut you a deal.

his work is incredible, must be flattering to have someone put so much work into a painting of your truck.

I like this one . My buddie just bought a 250.00 print of this one. It was unbelievable to see in person.

Damn... This dude is amazing... I did a lot of B&W photography for a while, and in the process got exposed to a lot of other types of artist. This guy is hands down one of the most amazing artist Ive ever seen... Wish I could afford his stuff... Does he ever have any shows around Dallas?

SAVAGE

this is one of my favorites. I want to order it sometime.
This one is only like 95.00 for a print. I don't even know how much the one with my truck is..

This looks like El Mirage Last weekend

Well I got called the Fritz Gallery and got the Low down on the painting with my truck. "Fertilizer Salesman" It was done for Harley Davidson and sold through their dealers. They are all printed on Canvas and they come framed for 1,850. He said they are going fast also which is cool. The original sold already too a collector as soon as he put it for sale.

Wow they just called back with something else cool.. Last Spring he did a cool police chase one with my coupe in it. He has decided to print it as a lithograph that is only 95.00. They are taking pre orders on it now and you can pick the number of your print with a pre order. Tell them you are from the hamb. Their number is 805 499 1630 or contact them on the website. They said it will be out next month or so. I gotta scrape some dough up for this one

I wish I could somehow justify an original. It's not just his artistic skills. It's the feelings that his work brings out. He's my Norman Rockwell. Simply the best.

I met Tom in Pomona at LA Roadsters 3 years ago. I bought an assortment pack of his artwork on post cards. He was nice enough to sign one (in his trademark gold ink). I had them framed and they hang on the wall in my house. Since then I got the Pete/Jakes print (signed by P & J) and retouched, I think it's called Grabbin Gears....awesome depth of field. Stand away from the print and the cars really do look like they coming at you. I intend to get a few of the smaller Roadster prints, they all have great color/motion characteristics. The whole catalog is damn fine.

I've seen these posters at Pamona for about $35-$75 and maybe it was Tom selling them... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif!

Most websites the prices are $40 or more...!

I'm not looking for an expensive signed limited edition but I'd like a "Coming Home" poster at a reasonable price. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Anyone know where I can find one...?

I've had two of his prints hanging in my family room for a couple of years (I have a cool wife) and still find myself stopping to study them. I'm no art critic but I know what I like. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
