Deuce 7

[citation needed] Deuce 7 has been a railfan (trainspotter) since his early days, and eventually began freighthopping as a means of transport as well as to spread his work beyond the Minneapolis area.

[citation needed] Deuce 7 uses aerosol paint, one-shot, and oilbars to create intensely colorful, spidery images of a variety of subjects which he refers to as "stories",[3] which include characters he has met on his travels, romantic interests, trains, cityscapes, as well as purely expressive, surrealist images.

His fine art pieces carry the design hallmarks of his street style, and are also typically rendered with one-shot, ink, watercolor, and/or enamel spray paint.

Some pieces utilize mixed media including masks, found objects, and baroque moldings.

His pen and ink drawings frequently evoke stark, decaying cityscapes of crumbling tenement buildings patrolled by strange vehicles and airborne creatures.
