Photographer Karl Lanquist



The piece that I choose for this post is titled "Huston…we have lift off".  Lanquist's large selection of vintage car photographs are quite extensive. Anyone of these would make a great gift for the car lover on your list. You can purchase this piece at Karl Lanquist gallery on Painter's Showcase by clicking here.


Bio: Since Karl Lanquist moved to Northern California, he's been doing a lot of photography. Many of his pieces have been featured in galleries in Sacramento, Grass Valley, the coast of Santa Cruz, & Half Moon Bay.  
He gained notoriety with his collection of pin-up style photos of Breast and Ovarian Cancer survivors. Karl was recognized by hundreds of survivors that accredited his photos to bring inspiration to live longer and carry on in life.
Lanquist first job in CA was at a very high end print shop. We printed for Xbox, GE, Kenmore, Slot Machines, Freight liner trucks, Face plates on Fender Guitar amps, Sobe, Coors, Miller, Playstation, just to name a few. Karl was a supervisor for awhile, on a day & night shift. He worked that job for 71/2 years, and enjoyed it. After that job he started my own small business printing T-shirts & stickers. Karl was commissioned to make stickers for world renowned tattoo artist Corry Norris. 
Karl is a artist of many talents and interest. Please visit his gallery here at Painter's Showcase and get a blast from the past. http://www.paintersshowcase/gallery/people-transporters-karl-lanquist
