Doug Skrlac, resident artist at Creepster Customs, received a degree in architecture from the Ohio State University, and his artistic endeavors have spanned a wide variety of media and subject matter. Over the years, he has worked in two dimensions with pencils, pastels, watercolor, oils, acrylics and photography, and in three dimensions with clay and metal sculptures, as well as architectural design.
In early 2008, Doug attended an Airbrush Action Magazine "Getaway" event in Las Vegas, where he took a four-day class on pin-up art with internationally-recognized artists Lorenzo Sperlonga and Steve Driscoll. Doug soon began using an airbrush to paint everything from portraits on canvas to flames on mailboxes. Doug has since had opportunities to learn from some of the most talented artists to ever pick up an airbrush, including Dru Blair, Craig Fraser, Ryan ("Ryno") Templeton, "Kiwi" Terry Stephens, Cory Saint Clair, Eddie Davis, Jeff Styles, Javier Soto, and Jonathan Pantaleon, focusing on everything from photorealism to automotive graphics and pinstriping.
Armed with his natural artistic talent, a well-equipped home art studio, and the strong encouragement of some outstanding artists, Doug began to paint in earnest. He has been commissioned to paint custom artwork on motorcycles, automobiles, fire helmets, and even a guitar. Be sure to visit the Portfolio section of this website for samples of his work.
