I thought I’d participate in “Inktober” this year, a collective event where artists challenge themselves to draw one picture each day in the month of October, based on a common set of daily one-word prompts (you don’t have to use the prompts if you don’t want to). Each day’s word is arbitrary, but I wanted…

I thought the Knight Bus from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban would be a fun fan art piece to make. Here are the line sketches in pencil: Copic marker ink added in – I didn’t have the right purples so the bus is more of a lilac than deep purple, but on the…

I was very excited to see that two drawings had sold this week – the Mystery Machine Hot Rod Van and the Tony Stark ’32 Ford. So, by special request, I made this Darkwing Duck ’62 VW Sambabus. Here’s the bus in rough-sketch: I decided to work on the lettering and character next – these…

I’m very excited to see my art traveling to New York for the 2019 Lincoln and Continental Owners Club Eastern National Meet with our friends Scott and Karen. Here’s Scott pictured with a couple Continentals similar to those in the drawings. He was kind enough to grab a few shots of some of the cool…

Tony Stark’s hot rod from the first Iron Man film was actually owned by the director (who also played Happy), Jon Favreau. It’s the quintessential hot rod, a ’32 Ford. This drawing was different in that the rear wheels are 25% larger than the fronts, so getting proportions in terms of “number of wheels” required…

A 1972 Ford Econoline panel van – with side pipes! Again, I forgot to take many progress pictures, but here’s one:
This is part II of the two-part Continental project, a 1957 Mark-2. Also on toned tan, to really push the vintagy engineering drawing-esque feel. This one started the same way, with the front wheel and measuring out 4.5 wheel widths to the rear. From there, it was just blocked in using wheel diameters, and adding…

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…

Sticking with the toned tan theme… I love the brickiness of the ’69-71 Chrysler 300 – it’s such a huge land barge – and the idea of making a drag car out of one sounds excellent. This one was roughed in with pencil, again like the others, but I jumped straight to white charcoal prior…

What happened to finned cars? Imagine how great automotive design would be if we reincorporated some character back into our cars. Anyway, here’s one I played around with the other day. The fins are very batman-esque. I added some sky blue into the wheels and windows. I started by roughing out the general shape with…
