Artist Philip Perrine

On of the great pieces Philip created of my 1918 Henderson PrototypeSo often here at the museum, we have visitors with many unbelievable talents. In my forty-plus years of collecting, and throughout all the years here at the Wheels Through Time Museum, I've been fortunate to meet folks from all walks of life, and share a bit of time with them to speak not only of the collection here at the museum, but about their own talents as well.

Today I'd like to tell you about a new friend, with an unbelievable talent, that visited the museum for the first time this past weekend. His name is Philip Perrine, and he's quite a guy.

Philip is from Richmond, Virginia and is the first born son of a Latin professor turned artist. Highly influenced by his father during his youth, Philip took a weekend class at Virginia Commonwealth University's (VCU) Sculpture Department. As his interest in art was apparent, he was discovered by the Chairman of the department for his work and dedication during the class. With a knack for creating three-dimensional art, Philip dropped out of High School in the middle of 10th grade, and got his G.E.D at age 17 through a loophole used by VCU. Just six years later, he graduated with a Bachelors in Fine Great Work!!!Arts, majoring in Sculpture and focusing in metal work. Formerly working summers for a blacksmith and machinist, Philip now works as a product development manager for McKinnon & Harris, Inc. and has been there for 12 years.

When Philip came to the museum last Friday, he mentioned that he planned his vacation around visiting the museum....and he wasn't kidding. Philip spent the whole weekend here at the museum, from his arrival Friday until late Sunday afternoon. ...Just the type of visitor we love!

Aside from his expertise in metalwork and sculpture, Philip creates some of the best motorcycle artwork I've seen in a long time. He had his sketchbook out all weekend, and during his time here, created some unbelievable drawings.

When asked what drives him, Philip offered this simple, but profound quote: "It is amazing what you can do if you just don't quit!"

Thanks, Philip, for stopping by and making Wheels Through Time your destination for the weekend.  We hope to see you again soon!

A great rendition of the '18 Henderson Prototype -- Thanks Philip!

Hi Dale,
Thanks for featuring a great artist! One of the things I've always
appreciated about your museum is your memorable collection of art and antiques,
and your selection of background music, which makes lingering at the museum an
enjoyable experience.

Hi Dales thanks for a great museum site. I love motorcycle art that brings us
back to the days of our youth, when some of the bikes in your museum where new.
I have also create motorcycle dreams in art....please have a look at the gallery
on my site, it is only new and I would love some feedback. I wish I could come
and see your museum, but for some of us we can only dream, keep up the great
work.

Wow, thanks guys.

I can not say enough good about my visit to WTT.

In
the three days that I spent at the museum, I did a lot of looking and learning,
day dreaming and getting lost in all of the great history, I did a few drawings,
and got a few ideas.

The only part of my visit that was sad, was seeing
visitors come to the museum with only an hour or two left before closing
time.

I truly felt sorry for the people that did not have the time to enjoy
the seemingly endless sights, sounds, and hospitality of WTT.


Cheers,

Philip

It is a good timberland 6 inch boots thing that the God Who made us is not
