Well TJ can turn anything into a piece of art, his mediums are vast and varied and include motorcycle helmets, rusty saws, wooden boards, suitcases, milk jugs anything with vintage appeal, and of course he is well versed in more traditional work like pin-striping on cars and bikes.

Signature style:
TJ runs a side parted slickback styled with Matt Pomade in conjunction with his signature moustache.

Why Uppercut Deluxe?
