UNM "Louie the Lobo" Art Piece

UNM Lobos Tribute – Custom Lowrider Artwork by Rob Vanderslice

This stunning, handcrafted piece by custom artist Rob Vanderslice pays homage to one of New Mexico’s most iconic symbols — the University of New Mexico Lobos 🐺

Shaped like the state of New Mexico, this lowrider-style creation is more than just art — it’s a proud tribute to Lobo Nation and the legacy of Louie the Lobo, featuring an old-school version of the mascot boldly centered in the design.

Design Details:
    •    Base Layer: Drenched in chrome metal flake for brilliant shine and depth.
    •    Color Layers: Patterned with rich apple red candys, highlighted with crisp white candys, and detailed with deep black candy fades for contrast and style.
    •    Size & Construction: Measures 12” long x 9.5” wide x ¾” thick — ready to display with serious presence.

Finished with a glass-clear topcoat, this piece blends lowrider aesthetics with collegiate pride, making it perfect for UNM fans, collectors, or anyone who reps the 505 with heart.
