The Art and Photography of Greg 'cixpack' Leterrier

Greg is a true artiste, in every sense of the word. Even just a casual look at his work speaks volumes about his skills, abilities and his sheer love of creating. His sense of style and eye for detail are impeccable. The scope of his work is equally as impressive. Everything from graffiti, cars, landscapes, concept aircraft and even gigantic robots! Working in several media types (including a Nintendo DS!), Greg's style varies incredibly. From still life, impressionism, surrealism and illustration, to forms that I will not even attempt to name. Let's just call it "Progressive." For the last couple of years, I have seen his stuff pop up on the internet and felt a mixture of awe, amusement and wonder as I stared at the bitchin' art this guy produces.

Quite a few of us finally got a chance to meet and chill with Greg when he made the trip out from his home in Paris, France to attend West Coast Kustom's "Cruisin' Nationals" this past May. And I can say with all sincerity that along with being a true artiste, Greg is one helluva cool dude! The highlight of my weekend was Flatbroke Alex taking Eryk, Harry, Greg and myself for a cruise in his beautiful '60 Olds. EPIC.

With all of the words out of the way, I'll let some of my personal favorites of his visual candy do the rest of the talkin'! Make sure to click on the photo's so you can check out all of the great details!
