I have been getting work done by Steve Fawley for over 10+ years. Killer traditional work and just a great dude! He brings my ideas to life and nails it every single time! Heart of Gold is my favorite shop Steve has worked out of. Great vibe, no attitudes, and the shop if full of talented artists. Look no further. Come to Heart of Gold!
