1940 Ford Kustom Drawing

The 1939 – 1940 Ford is one of my favorite automotive designs, and I’ve drawn several of them. It’s just amazing to me how Ford created such a unique and aggressive car and only used it for two years. The other 1940 Ford drawings I’ve made were either stock or very mildly customized, so I…

Knight Bus Drawing

At our house, we’re pretty big Harry Potter fans. I’ve made a few Knight Bus drawings and the Harry Potter stuff is always a big hit with the less hot rod loving people. As I get ready for shows this summer, I wanted to make sure to have a knight bus drawing available for sale,…

Mystery Machine Kustom

I’ve drawn a few different versions of the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine and they’ve all been wildly popular. My first was a muscle van version, which sold from a coffee shop display. Next, I drew a lowrider version for my friend Gabe. Most recently, I’ve drawn this Mystery Machine kustom version. I’m a fan of…

Jeep Wrangler Drawing

Back in 2020, I drew a Jeep JL for a friend. Recently, another friend saw a picture of it and asked if I could make a Jeep Wrangler drawing for him, too! Jeeps are fun because, like Volkswagens, the following and fanbase is pretty intense. Jeep people love their Jeeps! I started with a rough…

Mercury Kustom Drawing

I’ve done a few Mercury kustom drawings now – one of them I had to keep because it’s super rad, one I sold last Christmas, and just now I’ve finished this new Mercury kustom drawing. I like this drawing because it’s reminiscent of the more simplistic and slightly cartoonish hot rod drawings from the 1960s,…

In 1979 when the hit TV series The Dukes of Hazzard came out with their first season, Daisy drove a 1973 / 1974 Plymouth Roadrunner. Toward the end of the season, the producers decided to have Bo drive the car off a cliff reportedly because they were afraid the car would compete too much with…

Quinjet Drawing

My friend Stan is a big Marvel fan and asked if I could made a Quinjet drawing for him. To be honest, I’m a pretty big Marvel fan too, so this was an awesome request – and a unique departure from hot rods. I’ve done a few airplanes for friends, but this was my first…

1970 Plymouth Cuda Drawing

If you don’t follow Ratty Muscle Cars, you definitely should. Their philosophy is to just get out and drive your car, regardless of whether it’s “finished.” Their events are full of well-loved and enjoyed muscle cars, and none of them are trailer queens. One of the coolest is a ’70 Cuda, which gave me the…

Drum Head Buick Drawing

In addition to making hot rod art, my other artistic hobby is playing drums. I collect vintage drum sets and along with that occasionally comes some interesting spare parts. For instance, I have some spare drum heads, some original vintage. How cool would it be to create some hot rod art on a vintage drum…

TROG Motorcycle Drawing

Last week, I posted about my first motorcycle drawing, a 1970s custom style. I think the ’70s customs are cool (think Easy Rider) and have a lot of attitude. I also have an appreciation for the older round-handlebar style bikes. In New Jersey, a race called The Race of Gentlemen is held by the Oilers…
