ABOUT J.B.'s FLAT TRACK ART

J.B. Norris' Flat Track Oil on Canvas art was inspired by his love of the sport. JB has been involved in various art forms through the years. In 2006, J.B. produced his first Flat Track art piece, "Pipeline." It received rave reviews at it's inaugural showing at Daytona during Bike Week. With lots of encouragement, he set out to expand his gallery of Flat Track. He currently has 14 different art pieces that range from Champions Scott Parker, Chris Carr, Jay Springsteen, Ricky Graham, Kenny Coolbeth, Bubba Shobert and Jake Johnson, stars Kevin Atherton, Henry Wiles, and Terry Poovey, to back-in-the-day racers, Kenny Roberts, Steve Morehead and Davey Camlin.

JB's best compliment came when Harley patriarchy and H-D VP of Styling, Willie G Davidson first saw the collection.
Willie G said, "These are all so good, I can't decide which one to buy. So................I'll take that one, that one, that one and that one."
Willie G added four of JB's fine art pieces to his collection.

J.B. works from a photograph and creates an original using a myriad of art techniques. The original is then reproduced into a Giclee print.  The Giclee is the highest form of art reproduction known today. Giclees are widely embraced for their astonishing quality by major museums, galleries, and artists. A Giclee Print is quite simply the closest replication of an original artwork. They capture the originals brilliant, velvety color and depth. J.B's Oil Giclee prints are produced on archival quality canvas. Life span estimates by industry experts indicate over 130 years with no noticeable reduction in image quality.
