Blue Skies,
Dave & Donovan
We would like to share some of the most common questions that we receive at MotoArt in this introduction. Listed below
are some of these questions with our answers. Hopefully this will better give some insight into MotoArt.
Where does Motort get their parts? We find our inventory all over the world. Different yards specialize in different aircraft.
Most commercial aircraft parts come from the deserts in California and Arizona. However the older, more vintage parts are
typically found in isolated locations.
Isn’t there an abundance of old airplanes out there? Yes, and no. Since 9/11, the US Government changed the laws about
decommissioned parts. You can no longer obtain old military aircraft. Everything that leaves our Government bases must be
scrapped in very small sections, making it all unusable. Any fighter, bomber or US Cargo airplane part that we use is being
pulled from a pre-9/11 pile. These piles are growing smaller each day. Commercial Aircraft are available because the FAA
requires them to be decommissioned after so many cycles of take off & landings.
How & when did MotoArt start? Dave & Donovan who founded MotoArt, worked together in the 1990’s as architectural
sign guys. They did high-end theme work for large entertainment parks and sporting venues. One day the scrap aluminum
truck came by and he had an old beat up B-17 propeller in back of his truck. Donovan rescued it and created the first
Propeller Sculpture. The rest is history.
Didn’t I see this stuff on TV one time? Yes, MotoArt did a television series called Wing Nuts back in 2004 for Discovery
Channel. Eight one-hour episodes were produced based on our work. Unfortunately it ended when our good friend and
partner Tim Roberts passed away from a heart attack. You can still find Wing Nuts airing in all parts of the world besides
the US.
What type of clients does MotoArt have? MotoArt clients are some of the most diverse we ever could have imagined.
From top celebrities, Fortune 500 companies, self made people who reward themselves, to young adults who save money
for years to buy one of our pieces.
Why are MotoArt products so expensive? In actuality they’re not considering the process our pieces must go through to
look so good. Great cost goes into procuring the parts by finding; removing them and shipping them back to our studios. Also
�
process also entails the tedious process of sanding and polishing each piece that sometimes leads to hundreds of
hours work.
Why do you call yourself MotoArt? MotoArt was originally started to preserve all works of recycled engineered parts from
�
of industrial art.
How many pieces have you designed? To date, MotoArt has designed and fabricated nearly a hundred different series of
recycled functional art.

LARGE PROP SCULPTURES
These museum-worthy, historic
propellers find their way to MotoArt
from a variety of aircraft dating back to
WWII. Each blade undergoes dozens
and dozens of hours sanding and
then polished to a mirror finish. These
MotoArt sculptures are handsomely
mounted on a propeller “clam shell” hub,
with internal illumination. To compliment
your environment, the hub may be
powder-coated any color or chrome

SMALL PROP SCULPTURES
Smaller but just as stunning as our Large
Propeller Sculptures, the Small Prop Sculptures
will fly almost anywhere. All blades are sanded and
polished to a mirror finish and tastefully mounted
on an internal rotating cam gear. These bases are
powder coated clear to highlight etched inspection
signatures and exceptional milling.
