​Pictured on this issue's cover, this incredible painting can be found behind the band stage inside Fat Kat Slim’s, which  is located at 730 8th Avenue South in Nashville, TN.

The two-story Fat Kat Slim’s is a “mid-century American bar and restaurant inspired by custom culture and retro vibes.” This eclectic 1950s restaurant/bar/club is definitely carcentric, and you may check them out at FatKatSlims.com.    
​
The painting took artist Brian Tull 19 full days to paint, and cost $10,000. The car is a 1956 Chevy convertible owned by a local car collector, Larry King. The model, Bonnie Valentine, is a professional pin-up model and burlesque performer.

Brian used Sherwin Williams paints, a few good brushes and “a whole lot of faith.” At 16' wide by 10' tall, it makes a great impression. Bonnie is not only a model, but did the interior design featuring Japanese lanterns, retro 1950s decor and more.

​Brian is currently working on a few commissions and hopes to get back to painting gallery inventory for Tinney Contemporary, Quidley & Company Fine Art and Ric Michel Fine Art.
​ 
If you’re interested in commissioning Brian, his murals typically range from $7,500 to $23,500. His large scale photorealism paintings range from $25,000 to $35,000. He can be reached at 615-945-5807 in Tennessee, [email protected] or go to BrianTull.com.
