That would be my dream come true, my brother. I grew up digging all the cool box art and always wished I could do one or two myself. Now I'm selling paintings but don't have any connections.

You really made my day .......

You need to do box art. Some of those pics are better than the stuff that RM and AMT are using right now.

Mate,
Those signs are great! Have you got any other images like that? I'm very interested in doing something like that myself - one (or two) would look great hanging on the wall in my garage -

Cheers, LeeTree

I drew the original cartoons in pencil, inked them and then scanned them. The BW versions were rendered out in Photoshop and used on their website, sold as cartoon prints and for other marketing. Then tyhey wanted the big signs, so I projected them with a Proxima from a laptop and cut them out of 1/4" MDF board with a Rotozip. All the rest is hand painting with brushes, from the linework to the colors. A lot of work but fun as hell.

Did you draw those at that size or did you somehow blow up a smaller version? Cool nontheless! Its good to know that the barter system isn't dead. What did you draw those with?

I traded the sign work for parts and service on my 84 Vette.
