I thought I’d try something a little different this week – I picked up this old yellow gas can and decided to add a little hot rod art to it. And thus – the ’57 Chevy Gas Can. I picked the gas can up from a neighbor who posted it on Facebook Marketplace. It had…

Happy Bronco Day! Later this evening at 8pm EST, Ford will unveil the new 2021 Bronco line – the first production Broncos in 24 years. Based on Ford’s Baja 1000 entry and spy photos, the expectation is for these trucks to have a first-generation retro design. I made this Big Oly Bronco drawing to celebrate.…

I’m really excited about how this 1978 Corvette Pace Car drawing turned out – I’m not usually a big Corvette guy, but this one is sweet! I chose to draw this car from ground-level looking up. Corvettes – and I think especially third-gen Corvettes – are proportioned with a much larger wheels-to-body ratio, and looking…

The Tin Lizzy, a car for the people. Nearly everyone is familiar with Henry’s affordable automobile, and this 1926 Model T drawing represents one of the last iterations before the Model A took over. This drawing is a commission piece, made with Micron pens and Copic markers on toned tan paper. First, the car was…

I love drawing cars – the therapy is exactly what I need after a long day. Lately though, I’ve wanted to learn about photography, too. So, I scored this new camera, a Canon EOS Rebel to practice on. Please keep in mind, I’m starting from zero – when I first got the camera, I didn’t…

The ’55 Chevy is in my top five favorite cars – maybe even top three. I’m really enjoying drawing in this black and white style, and so I’ve added to this collection with this 1955 Chevy gasser drawing. This particular car was made famous in two movies – American Graffiti and Two Lane Blacktop. The…
