Helmets

Keeley has amassed quite the portfolio of motorcycle work, but what some customers don't realize is that he can tackle all of your accessories as well!

The image above is a collage of (mostly) helmets Keeley has painted over the course of his career. You'll also see a racing trailer and a promotional sign in the mix. 

Whether you want your helmet airbrushed, pinstriped, or just painted with a new color, Keeley can make your wish come true!

When I visited Keeley's shop to take a look at some of his artwork, I asked him about this collage in particular and if he had any interesting stories to share.

As usual, he did not disappoint!

Years and years ago, one of his work-trucks was featured in Airbrush magazine. Evidently, his art had reached someone in Spain who wanted him to paint a motorcycle helmet.

So, the man mailed his helmet all the way to Nashville, TN with a letter and some photographs of a specific design style. There was one minor problem...the letter was written entirely in Spanish. 

Keeley is perfectly fluent in the southern rendition of the English language, but Spanish? Not so much.

 Amazingly, he took the photos the man had sent and painted his helmet to match that style exactly. He then shipped it back to another satisfied customer, all the way across the Atlantic Ocean

Does this sound interesting to you? Call (615) 578-4431 and bounce some ideas around with Keeley! He does accept similar mail-in orders..

Just remember, you may want to print your letter in English... ;)

Motorcycle Painting

Here's a quick look at some motorcycle work Keeley did back in 2011.

The Work Van

If you live anywhere in the Nashville metropolitan area, you have likely seen this van buzzing about town.

Rather he's picking up supplies, delivering an order, on the job, or simply taking a lunch break, Keeley's van is recognizable from the moment you see it coming!

This van has traveled from Bowling Green to Manchester, from Lebanon to Springfield, from Columbia to Portland, and miles and miles of the avenues that make up Nashville, TN.

The van is a billboard on wheels that exhibits a few of Keeley's talents. Mind you, this is just a narrow scope of the man's abilities. It's a way of showing his potential customers who he is and how to contact him. Or, if you already know him, it's a way of making you say "Wow! Look what he's done now!"

My favorite story involving this van came on a cold Friday in March. I received a call from Keeley, saying he had blown out a tire across town, and needed a ride to get a new one. I told him I'd be there as soon as possible, and mentioned that I was incredibly sorry that this happened.

His response?

"Hey, you gotta look at the positive. I get to park my "billboard" out next to a high-traffic area. That's free advertising!"
