Paying Respect

I have to thank all the artists on the Hamb "Jalopy Journal" and Hub Garage for inspiring me to continue with my art and work on getting better with each piece. I forgot how much fun I have when drawing and creating something unique. One artist in particular that I would like to thank is Ed Tillrock, he does some amazing things with a pencil. I hope to meet him soon. Well just saying thanks again to all the great artists out there and who knows maybe I'll inspire someone else to get drawing! www.hubgarage.com/mygarage/moparz

Six Pack

This is the first one I started really using color in. It is done in prisma color colored pencil. I also have a version in black and white. I still can't decide which one I like better. I plan on attending a lot more car shows and drag races this year, so I can get some cool pics to draw.

Ford Flathead

This was my first time try at a motor pic. I really had fun doing this piece, it inspired me to do the cutaway of the hemi which is a couple posts before this. I have always enjoyed drawing whole cars before but now I am partial to these. I hope to do a lot more in the near future.

My background picture

This is a motor shot I took from a car owned by John Cooper of Road Rockets in Indianapolis. I saw this car at the Hill Climb in Newport, Indiana last year. If you haven't been there before, you won't be disappointed. Well I started this picture before I went to the World of Wheels show in Indy this spring and I saw the car again and talked to his son and that gave me the inspiration to finish it. It is the first one I have drawn to try and make it look like it was a photo shopped picture. I was happy with the turnout. I have received a lot of good comments about it so far. Let me know what you think about it.

Getting my feet wet

This is my first blog and I'm hoping to have my own website soon, but for now hopefully this will help people see what I can do. I am a self taught artist. I really enjoy drawing automotive art, I just got back into drawing a couple years ago and started messing with color, but now I am enjoying just black and white renderings. Who knows what I'll stick with or maybe just try to get better at both. Well this picture is my latest creation, it was drawn on a sheet of computer paper. I am ready to move up to a bigger surface so I can get in even more detail. Hope everyone enjoys it. It is a 1965 426 Race Hemi Motor, cutaway version.
