April, 2023 Spring is knocking on the door here in the Colorado Rockies, seventy degrees one day and inches of snow the next; summer is coming, though! It’s been a busy spring at Lorenzen Customs, two different projects were commissioned and sent to Arizona and art has appeared at three different locations in Colorado Springs.Continue reading “2023 Update”

Spring 2022 Update
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”
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”

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”
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”
Going Worldwide
My wife, Carina Bissett, approached me about a month ago about a project idea. She has a friend who is about to release a new book (more about that later) and wanted to celebrate her friend’s accomplishment with a piece of art. Carina showed me a picture of the book cover (see below) along withContinue reading “Going Worldwide”
