Artist Bio:

Henry “Hank” Bufkin is an artist who left the Mobile Police Department to pursue his passion for art full-time. He has created a variety of unique artworks, including custom motorcycles, murals, and memorials. Hank specializes in large 3D metal pieces and uses his own innovative techniques to ensure that each artwork is a one-of-a-kind creation made by hand. Because of this, no two pieces are ever reproduced. Each work is numbered as "1 of 1," dated, and signed by the artist, providing clients with a true “one-of-a-kind, living work of art.” Together with his wife, Susan, he conducts thorough research on projects to maintain authenticity, as demonstrated in his piece “The Guardian” for the University of South Alabama. Clients are encouraged to follow the creative process, whether in person at their studio or online through Facebook or via emails.
