It’s been a busy spring at Lorenzen Customs. You may recall we were in the middle of a master bathroom/closet remodel which is finally coming to a close. We’ve also been working on several commissions – two bike sculptures, an AT-AT birdbath (so fun!), a keg lift (still in progress) for Mash Mechanix Brewing (https://www.mashmechanix.com),Continue reading “Spring 2022 Update”

Remodel Update
It’s been a minute since I’ve provided an update on my master bath/closet remodel project. Yes, it is still ongoing (remember that procrastination post?) but I am finally making good progress. The dry wall is all covered in mud and smoothed out, textured, and painted (or ready for tile). I’ve actually cut some tile toContinue reading “Remodel Update”
Show Time – Epilogue
My very first art show is coming to an end this week at Goat Patch Brewery in Colorado Springs (2727 N. Cascade Ave, Suite 123) and I have to say, it was a great success! I sold several pieces, have two new commissions, and another show because of the November show. What a thrill itContinue reading “Show Time – Epilogue”
Show Time
This week will mark another first for Lorenzen Customs, our first public art show! On Monday, November 1, Goat Patch Brewing Company (2727 N Cascade Ave #123, Colorado Springs, CO 80907) will begin displaying thirteen of my pieces and they will be one their walls until the end of the month. I have always wantedContinue reading “Show Time”
Procrastination
I’m normally not a procrastinator. When there is something that needs to be done, I dive in and work hard until the job’s done, but I’ve been putting off a job all summer. It’s something I know must be done, I know I can do it, and I know it will be well worth theContinue reading “Procrastination”
Legacy
I’m wrapping up a couple of projects at Lorenzen Customs, one of which is a set of custom wooden planter boxes. I’ve been enjoying this work and it has put my grandpa Lorenzen on my mind (more than usual). When I was a kid, one of my favorite things to do was go to grandpaContinue reading “Legacy”
Working for a Living
There is pride in finishing a job that is well done. I love it when a project comes out and it’s better than expected, cooler than anticipated, and exceeds original aspirations. I also love the satisfaction of closing the deal, getting handed some money upon completion of a commission, and the feeling that comes whenContinue reading “Working for a Living”
Investing in Myself
March was a busy month at Lorenzen Customs with four projects leaving the shop. I have no new commissions, so I’ve been busy working on some pieces for a future promotion. I haven’t told many people about this yet, but I have an art show in November at Goat Patch Brewery (https://www.goatpatchbrewing.com) which is hereContinue reading “Investing in Myself”
Going Jurassic
It’s been a busy February and March at Lorenzen Customs. I’ve been designing and fabricating a railing for my father-in-law, a Stegosaurus wind vane, and (FINALLY) putting the finishing touches on the Ace and King of Spades playing cards. It’s super exciting to see things getting finished and, most importantly, the big smiles on customers’Continue reading “Going Jurassic”
Ace in the hole
I took another commission a couple of weeks ago, this time from a co-worker who also competes in professional poker tournaments. He saw some cool wall art at a bar and sent me a picture, “can you do something like this?” You know I took it on! He wants the king and ace of spadesContinue reading “Ace in the hole”
