Art is part of Mydock’s earliest memories. He watched, and was greatly influenced by his godfather – a woodworker and boat-builder. In the 1960’s Mydock studied art in Miami with master sculptor Duane Hanson. Forty years painting custom motorcycles and antique cars have had a direct influence on his current artworks. With highly developed skills in airbrush, pinstripe, gold leaf, and sculpture, Mydock embellishes wooden vessels with focused attention to detail. His current passion is pyrography, which is woodburning with sophisticated tools. He incorporates intricate layers of original designs influenced by nature, Polynesian tattoo art, and visionary art. Mydock interlaces and weaves these images into a distinctly unique and dynamic style.
