2027 San Marino Motor Classic Artwork
I’m pleased to share my latest work — the cover art for the 2027 San Marino Motor Classic. This piece pays homage to the iconic Auburn 851 Supercharged Speedster (and allows me to indulge my love of Art Deco).
The San Marino Motor Classic is easily one of my favorite automotive events. It features rare classic cars, an amazing charity gala, and a fine art expo by the Automotive Fine Arts Society. Moreover, it benefits many charities, including: Cancer Support Community – Greater San Gabriel Valley, Pasadena Humane, Rotary Club of San Marino, Give Mentor Love, Shriners Childrens Southern California, and Rose Bowl Aquatic Center

McLaren F1 Ace of Spades
My Car Cards project allowed me to indulge my love of gaming and classic car art. I learned a lot from producing that small run of 500 decks, and had lots of fun doing it!
That first deck is now sold out. I don’t know if I’ll issue another run, but I’m thinking about new stylistic directions for a new deck. This is my first exploration, which pays homage to the 1990’s legend — McLaren F1.
I don’t have a timeline, and I’m sure things will change several times before I’m ready to publish “2.0”, so stay tuned!
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.

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!
