ABOUT SHANESALISBURY'S WETCOATS INC.

Shane Salisbury pinstripe on a panel.

Shane Salisbury does'nt think of himself as an artist, saying; "The term artist is overused as a reference to those who create work that is hopeful to envoke change or thought. Those who use this word to define themselves often express pride in the "thought" behind the work, and in my experience, think too much about the gravity of the next stroke. On the opposite, I work to express my emotions at the time. I express personal concepts of functionality and even percieved beauty. This must mean I am a craftsman; which to me is defined as one who develops skills over time that can be useful to parts of our society. My work is NEVER meant to create turbulence or inspire people to think the way I did when I created it."

 

"My revolution is internal, which creates a fire inside."​



​​INTO THE FIRE...

Driven to create, Wetcoats Incorporated was born as a motorcycle custom paint shop. Shane developed skills with an airbrush since his teenage years, though he began by writing graffiti on the streets of New York City, he soon exchanged those rattle cans for an airbrush in 1990 and started working in New Jersey painting t-shirts.

 

"This experience was invaluable! The owner is, to this day, the most influential women of my life!"

 

Soon, life's changes came around and Shane was cast out on the world.

 

"It seamed fitting to custom paint motorcycles, no?... I mean motorcycles are in my blood, it's a Salisbury family tradition."

 

And in 1995, Wetcoats Incorporated was born.
