Last week, I had the privilege of drawing this Jeep JL for my friends Debby and Blake for their wedding anniversary. The Jeep is Debby’s car and means a lot to her because she’s always wanted one – it’s her dream car because of the rustic rugged look and the rough boxy edges. How cool…

I first saw this 2-Door Suburban on Bring a Trailer and thought it looked extra cool. I like Suburbans, but holy cow – how neat is this thing!? Here is the sketch starting out in pencil, and then lining it in Micron pen. I’ve been starting out very small lately – 005 – and then…

This past weekend, Jessie and I visited the R.E. Olds museum in Lansing – I highly recommend it, by the way. One of my favorite cars there was this late 1930’s Oldsmobile Business Coupe. I thought the subtle silver paint sitting on the bright red wheels with white wall tires really popped – a really…

First weight of ink – Micron 0.2mm (005). Here’s a scan of the completed line work with a variety of weights.…

I’ve been working on some rough doodles that I think have turned out pretty cool. Here are a few from the past week. This is an old Kaiser that’s been lifted in the front – kind of a gasser-lowrider hybrid. This is my 1954 Plymouth Belvedere from college. It’s lined in pencil only, no ink.…

We went down to Urbana, Ohio this weekend for my grandmother’s funeral. One thing that makes difficult times bearable is being with friends and family. While we were there, I had a chance to hang some new drawings at Teabaggers, among friends and family. When I was growing up in Urbana, my family went to…

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…

I don’t know about you, but I am JACKED about the trailer for the movie Ford V Ferrari coming out this November. To commemorate the Ford GT40, I made this tiny sketch of a MK1…yes, I know the LeMans winning car was an MKii and none of the three cars wore Gulf Livery, but it…

I love square bodies. Here’s an elevation view of a square body Suburban on really big smoothies. Also, a mohawk. I started off with a simple line sketch in pencil, starting with the wheels. From there, I measured out the distances around the truck and filled in the shades with Copic markers, finishing off the…
