I do have experience with John's work since I have many friends with his bikes. Interesting note: I have wanted a Landshark for 12 years. I referred all my friends who got one (or in the case my BF - 2). I just kept waiting thinking the money would be spent better elsewhere... it still could, but oh well...
Anyway, John does alot of work by hand - using an airbrush. Strange his website does not show some of his really beautiful paint jobs - alot of blended colors and processes, adding sparkle and shimmer. Recently, like the last few years I think he has started to use printed stencils more. He could do that with my roses but I prefer he attempt to paint them - I want it to look more Monet than graphic. He can and does lay down many levels of color and design. The paint takes months to harden so it's not like I will be riding it right away. I will be having my current bike adjusted to match the fitting so I can use that in the meantime. Nice thing is John will redo the paint job for $425. Right now it is "free" with the build.
