A short background on a long artistic life began in kindergarten and grade school where he painted the school room transoms, then to Manhattan and The High School of Visual Arts and on to Pratt Institute as well as The Art Students League.

After leaving school Fred became a talented part of The Mad Men advertising world, doing layout and illustrations; product renderings from aircraft and automobiles to clothing and cosmetics.

His abilities are diverse and accomplished in many avenues; Madison and elsewhere.

Among other talents, Fred is also a professional photographer as well as a six degree black belt karate practitioner who owned and operated a dojo for many years.

So far we haven’t discovered anything he can’t do and his “Flying Tiger Art Works” provides yet another venue for his fierce commitment to excellence, dedication and awesome abilities.

The following photographs show two of the personal historic jackets that Fred has painted and designed.

The various aspects of a person’s life are collected and collaged into an artistic whole; then rendered by hand onto leather bomber jackets and sealed to preserve the durability of the artwork.

Baseball, Football, Skiing and all sports are subject to rendition. Flying, motorcycling and all hobbies and accomplishments are open for your choice. Favorite pets and family are all area of a person’s life interests to choose from which will complete your very own personal history and painted for all time in a museum quality painting that can be worn and displayed.

You choose the aspects of your life you want painted, provide descriptions and/or photographs as well as a favorite old leather jacket or new and Fred will begin to materialize your life in Art.
