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…

This was a fun project for my friend, Gabe – The Mystery Machine in Lowrider form. The start of rough outlining in pencil and filling in the radii around the edges: Bringing some Copic marker in for color and value fill: Here’s some detail close up photos of the Dayton wire wheels: Again, this drawing…

What a sleeper! Well, maybe not this one. The Caravan and Voyager of the 1980s was built on the K-car platform along with stuff like the Reliant, LeBaron, Lancer, and the like. The base version was pretty homely, but along with its brethren, was offered with a very build-able turbo 2.5L 4-cylinder. Sooooooo…let’s build one…

This started out as a doodle in pencil just to see how the perspective might come out, and when all was said and done, culminated in about six hours of work. What would a ratty Charger look like in linework only? Well, like this. It’s very difficult to capture dents, dings, rust and other discolorations…

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…

Tiny square body – brown, of course – on tan paper. I think this is my favorite perspective – 3/4 front looking up at the vehicle from the ground. It gives the impression that the truck is big and tall. You can see the two-point perspective lines trailing off to the right and left. I…

A 1972 Ford Econoline panel van – with side pipes! Again, I forgot to take many progress pictures, but here’s one:
Like, Zoiks, Scoob! A hot rod take on a classic van – The Mystery Machine was a total hippie-mobile in the cartoon, but how cool would it be as a street van? I’m continuing to explore side profile views on toned-tan paper, which is perfect for a livery as lively as The Mystery Machine. The…

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…
