Origins—The stories behind the art

“To me, Origins is more than a showcase of beautiful illustration. It takes me back in time and rekindles wonderful memories of the cars that were influential in my life—some owned, some lost, some raced. David’s stories remind me of family, especially my father, of lessons learned, of thrilling moments, of both the highs and lows in my life. Mostly, David’s illustrations and stories make me smile and that’s such a gift.” ~ Doug Buchanan, Garage Graphics
