After a hiatus of a decade or so, Mark Bunten (aka: Dr. Deltron) is setting up a new paint shop in Marina, or so I've heard. That's the Monterey Bay area just south of you, a tad further than Santa Cruz.

Unfortunately, not many photos of Mark's work are on-line but if you Google "Mark Bunten Dr. Deltron" you'll come upon a couple of Lobster Bike frames he did back in the early nineties. I've seen many other frames he's done, which are truly phenomenal examples of custom fades and patterns. He's a very creative guy with incredible air-brush skill. If you're interested in contacting him I'll track down his e-mail.
