About the Artist:
Blake's style reflects his evolving taste and commitment to creating fresh, unique designs. He goes through phases in colors and styles, ensuring each project feels distinct, even if it carries a similar essence to previous work. Blake’s passion lies in the dynamic nature of custom painting; the constant hustle and variety of each day energize him. He finds deep satisfaction in transforming plain surfaces into bespoke pieces that express his clients’ visions, building lasting relationships and witnessing the joy his art brings them.
Artistic Inspiration:
His inspiration for custom painting stems from a lifelong love for all things artistic and custom. Growing up in Alabama, he was drawn to custom vehicles, graffiti, and lowrider culture, which he primarily explored through Lowrider magazines. Although he had limited exposure to the lowrider scene locally, his passion for unique, custom art drove him to pursue custom painting. His journey is fueled by a deep appreciation for creative expression and the vibrant cultures that surround it.
Favorite Tropical Glitz Product:
When we asked Blake what his favorite Tropical Glitz product was he responds- "Well, of course, it’s the Dirty Wizard Flake"—his very own signature flake!
Special Achievements:
Blake's earned a few trophies over the years. While he doesn’t keep an exact count, what matters most to him is the satisfaction of his clients. The real reward is knowing they’re always pleased with the final results, and that’s what keeps him going strong
