Skeeter's Grafix Hits a Milestone: Featured at the Butler Institute of American Art

I'm excited to share that my work has been chosen to be displayed at the Butler Institute of American Art's 88th National Midyear Show. This is a huge honor and a significant milestone in my journey as an artist. It feels amazing to have my hard work and creativity recognized by such a prestigious institute.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without your encouragement and belief in my work. Here's to more artistic adventures and successes in the future!

"Keith worked with me to surprise my husband with a custom denim jacket for an upcoming Iron Maiden concert. He kept me updated every step of the way and worked collaboratively to make the project exactly what I was looking for! The final output is a great work of art and a high quality custom piece. Thanks to Skeeter's Grafix for the great work!

"He did an amazing job on my 2023 Nightster Special with the pinstripping. I can not say enough about how awesome my bike looks and how much it makes my bike stand out. The photos do not do it justice the work is so amazing. If anyone is in need of graphics, punstripping or anything like that this is the man to go to. Thank you so much for the pride you took in doing my bike for me."

"Keith Sturgeon is an incredibly talented pinstriper who transformed Samantha Fish into a mesmerizing portrait with his impeccable brushwork and attention to detail. His ability to capture the essence of his subjects is truly remarkable, making him a true master of his craft. Thank you so much for giving me a one of a kind piece of art!"

"Keith has done some outstanding lines on our restored amusement park Turtle ride. The turtle needed a face and Keith did an incredible job reproducing the correct face despite very little to go on.

Keith also laid lines on my new truck and most recently put eyes on our restored amusement park elephant. Fantastic work!"

"Keith

Wow! This is an amazing painting. Thank you very much. Absolutely love it!  It is very exciting to see.  Alex will have a great home and prominent place in our library and home.

I am very happy I bumped into this thanks to you telling Erin about it and sending a pic.  It is even better in person. Just riveting. Making a serious facial expression with pin striping sounds like an impossible quest.

You really know how to do classic eyes and portraits. The eyes drill holes and follow you around the room which is hard to do except for old masters. Your whole composition is really perfect. You are a born artist. I saw your stripes video on youtube and the podcast of interview. You don’t have to worry about anyone stealing your technique because what you do is impossible. Your technique is as safe as Escher’s, Rockwell Kent’s and Pollock's.   I think great art is a chemical reaction. It makes you smile and stop every time you see it and it never gets old. If it does not do that its just taking up space.

I am going to make one of my floating industrial frames that Erin might have showed you on her Lemmy and SRV portraits from 2019 and 2020. A gold classic frame is also a possibility like Harvey’s.

Your Lemmy is the first piece of your art that I saw. It really hit me. The SRV did also.

The Alex portrait is amazing and really belongs in a museum. It’s perfect.  I know your work will find its way into many peoples collections and museums. I am positive. Looking forward to seeing your future projects.

Thanks again Keith for your beautiful work. We really appreciate the portrait and the great-quality canvas."
