Hi, All;
Here we go:
The first vehicle is the first prototype of Dan Gurney’s Alligator motorcycle. Dan now owns the original of this drawing, his son, Justin, bought it for him as a present.
I have a personal attachment to this very bike. One morning, Dan rode my Harley, and I rode this Alligator up the Pacific Coast Highway in Southern California.
The next car is a Bugatti which belongs to a celebrity, and car collector. It is spectacular, and so sexy.
The next car is a Mercedes/McLaren 555 SLR, one of the rarest of super cars. It is so over the top that you look at it and just gasp! Talk about making an entrance!
The next car is a Riley. It was built in England, and this very car raced in the 1930s! I was lucky enough to see it when its new owner brought it out to show for the first time. The owner bought a print of this drawing, and I still own the original.
The last drawing on this row is the first drawing of a car that I ever drew. My wife and I saw this car parked on the street one morning. The owner was sitting in the car, and I asked if I could take photos of it. He said yes, and this drawing is the result.
The first car on the next row is one of the few drawings that uses color. It is a 1939 Alfa Romeo Corse roadster. A friend sent me the photo that served as the basis of my rendering. It was too beautiful to not draw.
The next car is of the new Ford Gt. This one is very special, though. If you look at the door, there is a bump in it, as a kind of a joke remembering the similar bump in the racing Ford GT that won the 24 Hours of LeMans for both Dan Gurney and his co-driver A.J. Foyt. This car actually belongs to Dan Gurney, his lovely wife, Evi, bought it for him for his birthday!
The next car is a little weird (see the story below), it is a Morgan 3 Wheeler.
The Hispano-Suiza is the next car. It has a V8 engine of 1,100 cubic inches! I saw this car when a celebrity car collector drove it to a place in Malibu, California. It is a beautiful beast!
The next drawing is of a Ford, which I believe is a 1940 convertible. The photo that I used for the drawing is of a white car. I screwed up a couple of the lines in the drawing, and I made it a black car because of it! OOPS!
The next rendering is of a 1932 Sedan, it is owned by a friend of a friend of mine, and is a beautiful car. It is so shiny that you can see the reflection of the concrete in the side of the car.
Saving the best for last, this is a rendering of a 1913 Mercer Raceabout. The celebrity owner drove it to a canyon location in Southern California. I drew this picture of this car as if it were from 1913. I removed all of the background that couldn’t be from 1913. I love this car, and this rendering, it is one of my favorites.
