NAMM 09 Eye Candy from Mike Learn

[wetrx95]

I love the Pride one. When I looked at the 'Oscar' statue, it appears to have two faces. Very cool. Your use and blend of coloring is truly astounding. Thanks for sharing these masterpieces with us.

I love Mike's painting skills and in my opinion of this bunch, I liked the back of the guitar far better than the front, and would have preferred the back design all over the front. I see the go-for-broke edgy approach on the commission from the company, but I guess I'd prefer not to have fat guys painted on my guitar...

but that's me. the backs of the hearts one and the $ one stand out for sure.

Great artwork.
Yeah, I tend to agree with you on this one. I like the front and back of lust but I prefer back of the Glut and $ one . The mouth spidermonster would look great on the front. Theres no pleasing everyone. lol
The fish tatoo and the c*ckdragon are awesome

Lust-best painted boobs ever.
Wrath-my favorite both sides are great.
Envy-the back is killer.

[Charlz]

I want all of em as a full set!!!! Awesome!!!

[petedz]

Envy kicks all kinds of a$$. Great work on that one! I love the eyes on the back of the neck!

OK I'm going out on a limb here, is that a zombified version of Siskel and Ebert on the back of the pride guitar?

LOL... No..not the intention. The pride was intended to be represented by a somewhat father and son figure. Team colors....matching abnormalities. HEHEHE. Tough concept that pride. They are looking at you like...If you dont like the way we look..Go F yourself.

[Learn Guitars]

Thank guys, as expected, these arent for everyone. I can appreciate that. John Walker came up with the challenge. It really was a nut buster at times.
Alot of fun and am excited to see them all together as a set. I think thats when they make the most of a statement.

*limb snaps off*...lol ok, I thought it was a tie-in with the Oscar on the front. There is an odd resemblance there!

Damn Mike! Could you be getting better? Didnt think that was possible !!! Love "wrath"... Your gonna get some $'s from me

[Incster]

Holy Augustinus, Batman!

This is absolutely cool stuff, I'm very impressed! You could be tempted to give up a real vice for one of them, couldn't you?

[wilkinsi]

Bagsy the LUST one... on a Warrior.

I vote Mike Learn as graphic artist on all USA Selects, not just Custom Shop.

Bring it on Bro,
An artist's challenge is to continually push for improvement, regardless of his achievements or current abilities. I do not see the end of the ladder.

Just send the guitar when you are ready. I am getting caught up here and can attend to orders faster than the past 2 months. It has been crazy. I have doing alot of restoration with members from the forum here. Some cool projects. I am sure they will share when the time comes.. But when you send the guitars....Please refrain from the pics of you in your underwear. LOL

We will be running a post NAMM special...

Rock on,
Mike
