Fireball 500 Barracuda

I’ve never been a big fan of the film – it’s pretty cheesy – but the George Barris-customized Plymouth Barracuda hero car is pretty cool. The car was customized with custom fiberglass in the front and rear, dual side pipes down both sides, a futuristic chopped dual-cockpit, and a heavy rake. I started this one…

Cougar Drag Car

I saw this sweet Cougar in an old Hot Rod Magazine from 2011 that featured Mercury race cars in an article right after Ford closed Mercury down. I started this one off as a very rough pencil sketch, and rather than re-lining the drawing with ink, I just went straight off to markers. I used…

Quarantine Coloring: ’32 Ford

Here’s my version of the ’32 Ford: White with flames and red steel wheels. I gave her a red interior, also. The background is actually this morning’s leftover coffee painted on to the paper with a brush. You can still grab a downloadable PDF from my Free Coloring Pages page here on this site, with…

Different Styles

It’s fun to experiment with different styles. After I finish a drawing, I usually hang it on the fridge (like a 5th grader) for all (my wife and I) to see. Right now, there are three distinct styles hung on the fridge. Fully Rendered & Detailed on Toned Tan: I’ve grown to really love this…

1961 Pontiac Catalina Safari

I like wagons. How about you? More with the black n’ white sharpie theme, here’s a 1961 Pontiac Catalina Safari wagon, Sharpie & Micron pen on sketch paper.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I celebrated St. Patrick’s day yesterday by sketching out this 1956 Chevy Sedan Delivery Guinness rig. This sketch is done with Micron pens and Sharpie marker on sketch paper.
