Bill Copeland Coloring Book

Book excerpt: For over 50 years Bill Copeland has been a "West Coast Airbrush Artist" coming out of the hot rod culture of the '50's and '60's Art found only in California. A contemporary of "Big Daddy Ed Roth" and "Von Dutch" Bill is especially well known for his T-shirt painting at car shows in America and Canada. His free style, concern for detail, and speed of painting anything a customer wanted on a t-shirt has forever exceeded anyone in his field. His custom artwork has been featured in magazines, calendars, maps, and hundreds of silkscreen T-shirt designs, as well as his contributions to publications, international companies, and movie studios. His murals have graced the sides of cars, vans, eighteen wheelers and buildings. Today Bill Copeland's fine art canvas paintings are featured in his gallery and studio in Yucca Valley, California. He spends his time painting commissioned paintings and an occasional t-shirt (people don't wear his shirts anymore, they frame them).
