Spotlight On Artworks
While driving, you may see some eye-catching vehicles with elaborate artwork on them. If it was something that really turned your head, chances are it was done by a local Nokesville business named ARTWORKS, owned and operated by Scott E. Lewczak.
Scott was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, grandson of an artist, Karton Jorgenson. He airbrushed his first van at the age of 12. Scott went on to attend DuCret School of Art in South Plainfield N.J. At the age of 19, Scott was traveling internationally demonstrating and teaching computer graphics equipment for ARTronics, Genigraphics & 3M Corp. At the age of 25, he moved to Sterling VA to be art director for Contel Telephone, now Verizon.
His company, ARTWORKS, was launched 8 years ago. When the business grew, he moved the company to Manassas; but within 2 years had to move again because the Route 234 Bypass was being built right over the old shop. As a result, two years ago, ARTWORKS moved to Nokesville.
ARTWORKS’ 3,600 sq. ft. art studio is large enough to put graphics on even the largest of vehicles. Though graphics on trucks, boats and motorcycles are what the company is nationally known for, they specialize in being "the one stop-shop for graphics". ARTWORKS will design your logo and your image. Then have it put on anything imaginable from business cards, letterhead, "T" shirts, to signs, trucks … even blimps! They also do large wall murals, book covers, ads, and brochures.
ARTWORKS uses the latest technology such as digital thermal printers, computer driven sign plotters, and the latest software. The company has also mastered the older techniques such as airbrushing, painting, goldleafing, pinstriping, faux finishing and hand carving.
Scott’s art has been featured in Sign Business, Signs of the Times, and American Artist magazines, to mention a few. Vehicles he has painted have won top awards in many different auto shows such as the World of Wheels. He is currently writing an article on sign painting techniques for Signs of the Times magazine.
So, if you’re looking for signs and graphics for your business, a personal sign for your farm or some form of decoration on your vehicle, ARTWORKS is the place to go! See samples of vehicle graphics on the web at www.signfarm.com.
You won’t be disappointed by this local business.
