1937 Humber Drawing

It’s an honor to create art for people who love cars, and it’s extra special to be able to participate in others’ Christmases. This 1937 Humber drawing was a commission piece that we subsequently turned into a batch of Christmas cards for the owner to send out to his friends and family. The Humber Snipe…

Christmas Commission Season

‘Tis the season for everyone to wrap up their Christmas Shopping, or in more realistic cases, begin. For me, this is the Christmas commission season where people in need of a unique gift hire me to draw a car for them. Some people are hard to shop for, or already have everything. For them, I’m…

C1 Corvette Drawing

I’ve had a few Corvettes come through over the past couple years, but this is the first C1 Corvette drawing I’ve done. I was fortunate to meet a gentleman at the Frankenmuth Auto Fest this year who asked for a drawing of his beautiful first-gen. I started with a rough sketch in pencil on Canson…

1955 Bel Air Drawing

I was blessed last week to be able to make this 1955 Bel Air Drawing for a repeat customer – this one was his Dad’s car when he was little. What an honor it is to be able to memorialize his father’s car in artwork. Cars are special and meaningful to us not just in…

Bullitt Mustang Drawing

A few weeks ago at the Frankenmuth Auto Fest, I was fortunate to meet a very nice man who wanted to commission a Bullitt Mustang Drawing for his son, who is building a film-accurate replica. I’ve loved cars ever since I was two years old, but my first “favorite car” was the Mustang. As a…

1970 Monte Carlo Drawing

I’m blessed to have had the opportunity to make this 1970 Monte Carlo Drawing for my friend Kevin to give his son Corey for his birthday. The Monte Carlo was called the “Gentleman’s Chevelle” and shared about 70% of its parts between the two platforms. I told Kevin, “I don’t really love Monte Carlos, but…

More Hot Rod Sketches

The quick hot rod sketches I’ve been making lately are actually a lot of fun to make. They’re a little rougher, lighter on detail and a little more free flowing. Last week, I finished a few more hot rod sketches and they’re quickly becoming one of my favorite styles! This simple 1st generation Camaro has…

The Auto Fest is one of the largest car shows in the Midwest with over 2,500 registered specialty cars and more than 150,000 spectators annually. This year, we were privileged to be art vendors at this huge…

Ford Truck Drawing

I was privileged to be asked to make this Ford Truck Drawing for a friend for a Christmas gift earlier this month. Lately, many of the requests I’ve had have been in black and white. While I love the black and white style, it’s refreshing to get the old markers out and dusted off! I…

This Week’s Hot Rod Sketches

We still have a few more art shows to prepare for this year before it gets cold in Michigan. Most of my work takes four hours minimum, so I sell them for a little over $100. I’m working toward creating inventory that I can safely sell to casual buyers for as little as $40, provide…
