Nice Brian. I've got one Owens silk screen print, then a event poster. Speaking of which I need to get that print in a frame.

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.
Ferrari F40, oil on canvas.
Duesenberg, graphite on paper.
A top fuel wheel/tire, graphite on paper.

The wheel is my favourite - raw in a Sitting Bull kind of way.
The two others are too "perfect"

I would have thought they were photos if I hadn“t been told otherwise.

I opened an old box from the moms attic and found this Vince Ito. Been wondering where to post it without seeming like I'm bragging about my Novice B Main dominance.
I love the wheel MelvinsArmy

Here's something pretty interesting. Each year the Ridler Award trophy features a cast model of the previous year's winning car. A few extras are always cast. Sources and methods change from year to year. Here's a selection of them-
