As the name might suggest, Chaszeyka produced this black-and-gold handiwork, which features several Pittsburgh Steeler Hall of Famers, for Evel Knievel’s son, Robbie, owner of Knievel Customs of Greenville, PA. He decorated the tank, as he did all of these award-winning projects, with an Iwata Micron airbrush and Xotic urethane coatings.

Wolves maintain an exalted place for most outdoorsmen and Native Americans. To many, they represent an innate, aggressive, primal state of being. Chaszeyka artfully pairs the iconic canine within a nest of feathers and pairs it with a gentle, blue backdrop. He said, “The Xotic urethanes are ideal for airbrush artists. I use them when I teach airbrush classes at Dru Blair’s art studio in Blair, SC.”
