As we speak I am building a couple projects right now with Carter Hickman and building a couple projects with Ben Hermance. Both are top notch very talented guys. There are a lot of talented guys out there. Something very important with both of these guys, and the reason I use them, is they get it done when they promise. For me that is super critical. Weather I need the rendering on a given date to promote a new project, or need it to close a customer project, or am just really excited and want to see it when it is promised!

Both these guys mentioned are the only artist I have worked with that do that.

Carter is working on my next in house project and I need it done before SEMA to promote the project for next season. Carter will have it done 100% a week before SEMA In the past with other artist I have chewed my nails until the last second and have the rendering show up with a 80% done the day of the show! I do not need that extra presuure at SEMA.

As for cost. $500 to $1000. Best money one can spend on a project before paint and wheel selection.

I use alot of the rendering guys and actually work really well with a few of them and if you are looking for a rendering we get a deal on them and can save you some money. We usually pay $500-$750 and they usally run $750-$1000 for what we do. Let me know if you want some help.

WOW!! thank you guys for the recommendations! Most of the info that has been posted is correct, but it does vary a little from project to project. I just updated my site, so drop by and check out this years work. I think most everthing on the site now is just from this year. If you have any questions just let me know.

Thanks Jake and Frank and Rodger!!!

Another vote for Carter. He is great to work with & makes sure it's exactly what you are looking for.

Since this is turning into "which" Artist to use instead of "how much" I will throw in Jason Rushforth's name in the hat. If you want a look that is progressive and unique he is a true designer that is concerned about every aspect of the build so it flows together- he even came over to lay out my stripes so they were in proportion to the drawing and vision- ALL ARTISTS mentioned do amazing work- here is just one more name to consider
