About Me
Jean Paul LeBlanc
I am a semi retired auto kustomizer who realized that I can create and express myself a lot better with a computer and a camera than a spray gun... I was born and raised in Canada and moved to beautiful California in 1979. I had the good fortune of working for the best people during my automotive career. I restored 60 movie cars (Yes, it included the Batmobile) for the King of Kustomizer: George Barris and I worked for top restorers Bruno's Corvette and Mike Fennell. In the late 90's I got hurt and had to learn a new career. I graduated from Wolden Multimedia Graphics in Anaheim and started to perfect my computer knowledge.
I moved to California City in 2001 and fell in love with the people and the desert. Today I do graphics and photography on a semi professionnal basis blending volunteer work, paying assignments and a little kustom work for a how-to book project (will be published early 2009). I specialize in Digital Art, Photo Repair, Event Photography, Website building and hosting. I also contribute to Californiacity.com, CalCity.Biz, Topix.com and the Mojave Desert News. I contribute to my community by my involvment with the Optimist Club, the Community Club, East Kern Historical Museum Society, the local Art Commission, etc...
