Rob Schwager is the relatable bad boy with a blue-collar appeal. His classic style mixed with an eye for what is artistically cutting edge makes him an exciting conversion of the old world and the new.

He is also a great dad. Hence his creation of this great piece of Americana art that was featured at a silent auction for his daughter’s school. From the initial concept and design, to the hand-fabrication of the sheet metal and wood under-structure, to the painting of the final design all the way to the distressing, weathering and aging of the piece, Rob put hours of intricate care into this image and the entire collection. Rob says, “Knowing that the sale of my art will directly help fund my daughter and her friend’s educations, is an awesome feeling.”

This series has made such an impression on Rob’s fans, who are admirers of not only his bomber-panel art, but of the Schwager brand itself, that several of them actually had it tattooed on themselves. Now that’s a pretty devoted Schwager fan– which he apparently has a plethora of.
