New! Cobra and Sprite Evolution Prints!
It’s been a while since I’ve introduced any new versions of my popular Evolution print series. With the pandemic restricting travel and more time in the studio than expected at this time of year, I decided to add to the series with two of my favorite cars—the Shelby Cobra and the Austin-Healey Sprite. The Cobra print features the MK I roadster, the Daytona coupe, and the MK III (427) roadster. The Sprite print features Sprites…
THE BRITISH ARE COMING!
Looking for your car fix but still in lockdown? Not a problem! If you can’t get out to the cars, I’ll bring them to you. The British Are Coming!—The Fabulous ’50s is my second virtual gallery and features expanded descriptions as well as the ability to link out to purchase an image. The focus is solely on British sports cars from the 1950s including Jaguar, Triumph, MG, Austin-Healey and other marques. Fan of ’60s or…
NEW LENTICULAR ART
Being forced off the road for the past few months has meant that Bill Pack and I have been able to spend more time creating more lenticular art. Our latest additions are the Jaguar E-Type S1 and the #13 Cobra Daytona that won its class at the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans. These two recent additions join the Porsche 356B in our series of lenticular prints which will eventually include the Porsche 550 Spyder,…
Cobra Daytona Artwork
Courtesy of a helping hand from none other than Peter Brock, I was able to complete the #5 Cobra Daytona driven to a class win at the 1964 Le Mans by Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant. The differences between the #5 and the 1965 #13 (class win in 1965) were not great—black exhaust instead of white, unpainted wheels instead of white, Viking Blue instead of Guardsman Blue, no grill mounted brake duct inlets on the…
New Print Sizes, Prices
Over the years, I’ve fooled around with various dimensions for my illustrations but always came back to a basic 2:1 format (24″ x 12″, 36″ x 18″), in part because I felt those dimensions looked right for the art and in part because it helped maximize paper use. In recent months I’ve been encouraged by several knowledgeable folks to do two things: 1) adopt a more standard print format and 2) use a pricing model…
Portfolio—The Art of David Townsend
I grew up around cars, picking up wrenches and helping my dad work on his Triumph TR3 before I was able (legally or otherwise) to drive. Over the ensuing decades since I started bending wrenches as a teenager, I’ve owned a parade of mostly sports and performance cars. The bulk of them have been British, but there’s been a sprinkling of German, French and even some America iron thrown in there as well. Like any…
Lenticular Porsche 356B Art
You really have to see this to believe it—watch the mechanicals of the Porsche reveal themselves as you move your field of vision across the art. Having met only a year ago, photographer Bill Pack and illustrator David Townsend immediately took a liking to each work and wasn’t long before the two artists were planning their two-man show—Movable Feast—shown for the first time at this year’s Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. It wasn’t long after that…
Sports Car Art In Print
This year, I’ve enjoyed some most excellent coverage in the automotive press including articles in Jaguar Journal, Mesh New England, and soon, Porsche Panorama. Each publisher had their own take on my art. Russ Rocknak from Mesh New England ran into me at a show and we engaged in a free flowing interview of sorts while I was setting up for the event. Russ’s perspective seems to me a bit unique in that he has…
