RC and Automotive Art

[Charlie don't surf]

The guy we built all of those oldsmobiles for commisioned a guy to do a painting of some of the cars in his collection (at the time). Three of them, the 55 gasser, yellow 67 convertible (now in Paul Tuetul Sr.'s collection), and the 68 Hurst olds are ones we did.

I used to make a lot of automotive art. Mostly race cars and exotics. I recently started again, as I'm going to be teaching a photorealistic drawing class in the spring. Here are a few of my older pieces.

Duesenberg, graphite on paper.

I love the wheel MelvinsArmy
