10-4 Magazine / February 2024 71 him pictures that are so inadequate, and Josh just says, no problem I can do that, then knocks a picture out of the park.” He loves to draw pictures of trucks for wives and girlfriends to give as special gifts to their husband or boyfriend. Josh recently gave a special gift to us. Gene Feld at D&G Transportation passed away on October 30, 2023. We were unable to make it to his funeral, but his Celebration of Life was scheduled for January 27th, 2024, and we wanted to do something special. I had been leased to D&G for a total of nine years and John worked for them as an outside carrier when we first started dating. Gene took a lot of pride in the company he built, and his slogan in the beginning was “Home of the Big Iron” – and there was a lot of Big Iron sitting in the parking lot of that warehouse in Germantown, WI. I began looking for a collage photo frame so we could put pictures together and friends could sign their name and add a message on it, but I couldn’t find one. Talking to Josh, I told him what I’d been looking for, and then asked if he would draw Gene’s truck and trailer and include the D&G Transportation logo he was so proud of, and then we could have people sign that. With a little help from Gene’s daughter Sandi Cheeseboro and our friend Eileen Klink, we got Josh pictures, and he worked his magic! The special picture Josh drew for us made me cry, and the bumper looks like Gene just got done polishing it. Josh describes his drawing style as “cartoony and hot rod, low and mean,” but that is not all he can do. He has done work for many owners with trucks that I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with. There was a time when drawing digitally scared him, but not anymore. There is so much more you can do with one of his digital drawings. The list includes but is not limited to t-shirts, jackets, posters, banners, stickers, air fresheners, and key chains, and his digital images can also be used as a design for a tattoo. He drew a one-of-a-kind tribal Batman symbol for Trisha’s tattoo. Evan sports two of Josh’s drawings as tattoos – one of his cabover on his leg and the other a grinder with a Peterbilt oval wheel looking like it’s throwing sparks. Wanting to stay “in his lane” Josh told us he doesn’t look at other people’s work. Every artist has their own style, and he just wants to be the best he can be, doing quality work, that makes all his customers happy.
