The Artist is Shy (so far)...
This blog was made for my husband, Victor S. McGuire, the artist. Turns out he's too shy to promote his own work, so here I am to do it for him. Everything he does is artistic, even the yards - they're gorgeous.
What he's done most of his life is pen and ink drawings, mostly of wildlife, but he ventures out sometimes - did some antique planes, a firetruck.

What he's done most of his life is pen and ink drawings, mostly of wildlife, but he ventures out sometimes - did some antique planes, a firetruck.
He makes the frames too - this one is walnut with the bark still on.
Then he decided to paint murals on walls - one was over a hundred feet long. He found he had a knack for creating bonsai. Then came tattoos - OMG the second that needle touched the skin and the ink spread I swore there was no way - but when he wiped it off, it was like he was born to do them....magnificent!
Victor does remodeling for a living. All of that is done with an artistic flair also.
And now? Now he is carefully, painstakingly handcrafting electric guitars with one-piece bodies. He treats the wood but leaves it natural - no paint, no lacquer. Here's one:
That's all for now. What do you think? B : )
