Episode 237: Andrew Petterson | Artist, Creator, Engineer, Fabricator
“Can it be this magical every time? Can I just create these insanely serendipitous & magical situations every time I do this? If so, that’s fucking awesome. That’s why I want to be an artist and share my art with the world. The incentive I’m getting is bigger than any incentive I can ever get. It’s what I always wanted to do and the universe says yes. ”
Being an artist is terrifying, exciting, inescapable, and also a path that, when you truly lean in (such as every time you follow your soul’s path), is magical and serendipitous. Andrew Petterson knows the roller coaster of being an artist well. On Friday, October 13th, at the Bike Shed LA, he is hosting his first solo art exhibition, ‘Hot Shoe Chronicles.’ This collection of work came together after following vintage flat track motorcycle racers he had met while working as a custom car builder for Chip Foose and Boyd Coddington. Andrew knew instantly that they were genre paintings, which perfectly fit into his style as a painter. In this episode, he shares his journey, what his art means, and why he’s so excited for this show.
Join Andrew and I Friday October 13th at the Bike Shed as we celebrate and sell his Hot Shoe Chronicles collection featuring Go Takamine - @go_takamine, Grant Peterson - @large_hands_grant co-founder of Born-Free, Jimmy White @hotrodford and his shop @circlecityhotrods, Jeff Moon - @moon895, and Eric Ahlquist - @ericahlquist along with their bikes by Harley Davidson and Indian Motorcycles.
