Mike Vetrone, an artist from San Jose, CA, shares his Vinylmation 95 custom with us.
Destination Vinylmation: We know this is your first Vinylmation 95 custom, but have you done Mickey mold customs before?
Mike Vetrone: I have done several 3 in customs and just finished my first 9". I've really caught the custom bug the last couple months.
DV: Tell us a little about your artistic background.
MV: Well I've been painting pretty much my whole life (I'm 22) though art classes and leisure. I am a graphic designer by profession so it's nice to step away from the keyboard and express myself through another medium.
DV: Your Up car is a great design. Clean and simple, it really gets the subject across. Why did you choose Up as your first subject for this car shape canvas?
MV: Well I've caught the Up fever like many other collectors right now so I thought it would be great. My good friend helped me out deciding what to put as well.
DV: I love the grape bumper sticker! What is your favorite part of this design?
MV: Thanks! I'd have to say the house or balloons, both took an excruciating amount of time to complete. I am very proud of the piece as a whole though.
DV: What was the biggest challenge with working on this canvas?
MV: Deciding to keep it a car or not. I'm happy that I chose to keep the essential elements of the car in tact.
DV: How can people contact you to purchase your customs?
MV: The UP car is sold, but all of my work is for sale through Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/customsbymikevetrone. I do commissions as well and I can be contacted at Michael.vetrone@gmail.com.
