Silver Arrow
Further indulging my fascination with Art Deco era cars, my latest piece is an homage to the legendary Mercedes Benz W154 Silver Arrow Grand Prix race car.
The name “Silver Arrow” applies to a number of dominating Germany race cars. Legend has it that in 1934 the Eifelrennen Grand Prix race, Mercedes-Benz scraped the paint off of its W25 race car to save enough weight to qualify to compete. The car silver (bare aluminum) car went on to win, and the name “Silver Arrow” was born.

Days of Future Past: ‘62 Chevy Corvair Monza GT
This mid-engine, concept car foretold the styling of many GM sports cars. I finished this render in 2016, when I was still using a more painterly rendering style. The magenta background reflects in the hood/fender to add some interest to the silver body. More demo videos here.
‘26 San Marino Motor Classic
As always, I had a fantastic time exhibiting my work at this amazing classic car concours and fine art expo, which supports a number of worthy charities. I felt honored to have my Duesenberg artwork represent the show on the program cover, and other materials.
The artists’ reception was a great time, and I believe Saturday evening’s charity gala set record attendance (private tours of Jay Leno’s, and Aaron Weiss’ garages raised $25,000)! Sunday’s relatively cool weather brought out a large crowd — it was so busy that I barely had time to take any photos, browse the cars (or even eat)! But it was certainly worth it to socialize with enthusiastic attendees, talk about my artwork and hang out with old and new friends/colleagues. I’m already looking forward to next year’s event!

Wait… that’s not a car, is it?
Well, gondolas are vehicles, so I guess this isn’t completely off brand.
As much as I absolutely love creating automotive art, and have an on-going fascination with Art Deco, I think it’s important to explore lots of different… [More]
Seen in the Wild…
Movie tribute cars are so cool to see on the street. When I lived in LA, I’d see them often (Batmobile, BTTF time machines, etc.), but less so here in Nevada. Which makes sightings even more special. I saw this Jurassic Park Jeep at the local Panda Express. I’m not an expert, but it looked like a faithful homage to me!
