This is part 1 of a 2-part set that was just commissioned – I’ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with toned tan paper, and these were to be profile views, so I thought the toned tan would give it a good engineering drawing / vintage feel. This is a 1963 Continental 4-door (suicide…

A friend asked if I could draw the ’69 Judge, which is his favorite car. I prefer the ’70 with the Endura-bumpers, but the ’69 is definitely more iconic. Toned tan paper was selected for this one – Usually these cars are seen in orange, so I thought it would be fun to draw in…

This was a very special acrylic painting project of Mary Jane, who just recently passed. Dogs have a way of stealing our hearts and situating themselves in our families. They teach us how to love. Rest in Peace, Mary Jane. You are missed.

Happy Father’s day, Josh! These jets are for my best friend growing up and best man at my wedding, Josh. He is an engineer at AA and his awesome wife Caitlin asked if I could do a 757 & 767. I started these a little differently than I typically would – these were roughed in…

This one is for the most selfless man I know, my step dad Charlie. Our family is a group of bourbon connoisseurs, so here is a bottle from Michigan’s Journeyman Distillery. I started off roughing in the basic shapes using a straight edge, ellipses and french curves in #2 mechanical pencil. Next, filled in some…
