I figured that I would start a Thread just to Show Off some of my Cartoons or Artwork.
I always loved Dave "Big Deal" Deal's Artwork (he designed the Armor All guy)
And of course...Ed "Rat Fink" Roth's Artwork.
Loved to draw ever since I was a little kid...and Yes, had and still have all my CarToons magazines!

I like to "Tweak" or "Bend" Muscle Cars, yet keep some of the features that make them so special.

I do this only as a hobby, because I usually am so darn busy these days...I even design our own Christmas Cards that get sent out every year.

I will add Drawings, Cartoons, Sketches for The General Viewing Pleasure!
Enjoy...

Holy ****, that's some professional art right there. How long does it typically take to do a drawing like that?

Thanks!!!
The Time that it takes can vary...I start out with a small Sketch and an Idea of what I want, then re-do the sketch bigger, usually around the size of a legal sheet of paper...9" tall x 12" long on a large sheet of Paper.
Then use a felt tip fine marker and finish it off.
My Problem is my Bad case of A.D.D., i can never stay on it from start to finish.
But i would say about 3-4 hours.

Man I would give anything to have talent like that. :bowdown::bowdown: If you don't mind, I may copy some of these. I have an overhead projector and I would like to do one wall in the garage with artwork like this. Very cool. Post up some more if you would. :thumbup::thumbup:

Great stuff....I've scribbled a time or two before my fingers gave out, but nothing like this. Your cars seem to have a nice 60's-70's flair to them. Nice art, Again, great stuff...:thumbup:

I wish I had the time to do More Drawings, these are all several Years Old and Older.
I have had a few requests for Custom Drawings, but right now...My Time is really Tight.
Later on, I may have some free time. Feel Free to PM me with what your looking for or a Photo of your Car. If I can get around to it, I will.
Thanks Again for all the Kind words....Here is a little More!

I'd sure be happy to pay for some of your art work. Let me know what you charge per hour and we can work something out. Thanks.

Mike
