About The Artist:
Growing up on Long Island I was indoctrinated into the world of automobiles by my father Casey. He was an avid sports car enthusiast and would routinely employ my brothers and I to get our hands dirty and help him with his next automotive project. Early on I developed a passion for these cars, which I expressed through my first real drawings at about 12 years old. I was hooked! I began drawing everything and turned to painting at about age sixteen.

After high school I received a scholarship to Syracuse University and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 1974. A few years later I headed west, settling in Boulder Colorado where I started to restore vintage sports cars. Along with cars I gained an appreciation and passion for Motorcycles. I’ve owned many wonderful motorcycles over the years, crossing this country many times, from sea to shining sea.

For the past twelve years I’ve been living just west of Denver in Evergreen, a very picturesque small mountain town where I get to paint my passion. Many of my automotive paintings are on display at the beautiful LeMay Automotive Museum in Lakewood, Colorado.

At this time I continue to refine and sharpen my skills as a painter of these beloved icons, producing only original acrylic works to satisfy a market that wants something totally singular and unique. Most of my paintings are also rather large, my favorite size being about 36×48 inches, a size that lends itself to the grandeur of my subjects. They will last virtually forever and will brighten, enhance, stimulate and cause a sensation wherever they are.

About The Artist:
I specialize in car and truck art mostly, however I draw pretty much any kind of vehicle. I use pen, pencil, markers, colored pencil and a little bit of paint. I’ve been drawing since I can remember. I started drawin car’s at about 5 or 6.

most of the work I do is for people who have a car or truck they own. They often display the artwork at show’s along with their car. I draw freehand and was often asked by teacher’s in school to draw pictures of their cars. Although it didn’t help my grade’s much it was still fun to do just the same.

I have had several different carrier’s over the year’s from truck driver to telecommunication’s technician in the phone business. My website features mostly recent work and I will be adding more work for display as they are completed.

About The Artist:
Matt Bernal was raised in the southern California, Huntington Beach to be exact, where the so cal car culture lifestyle was inescapable . Becoming serious about the industry in high school where he won the STAR award for automotive technology, Matt began working for Wings West in Newport Beach, CA. It was at Wings West where he discovered this lifestyle can be a career and not just a hobby. Inspired by a visit with Chip Foose Matt began attending Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Art Center taught him that his talents were not silly time wasters but serious talents that few have. Inspired and driven by entrepenuers , fabricators and designers like Thom Taylor, Steve Stanford, Jesse James and Chip Foose , Matt began freelancing as an automotive designer for the aftermarket industry. Matt was picked up by Saleen Performance in 2003. For the 5 years at Saleen, Matt supervised the production of the S281 Ford Mustangs , Focus , 331 F-150 and managed production and quality control of the limited addition Parnelli Jones Mustang.

Inspired to hone his fabrication skills Matt left Saleen for Gaffoglio Family Metal Crafters. That name may not mean much too many, but, enthusiasts would know that Metal Crafters have been building concept cars for major auto manufactures for close to 25 years. While at Metal Crafters Matt had a hand in the builds of concept cars for Nissan, Dodge , Jeep and the Concept Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

After spending some time in custom shops like Shoreline Motoring and Chicane Sport Tuning Matt was asked to participate with a team of outstanding fabricators to build the very first pre-production Fisker Karma and Karma S. While at Fisker Matt had a chance to rub shoulders with cream of the crop European designers like Henrick Fisker.

Most recently Matt completed a build for Suzuki of the DELTA TUNE Suzuki Kizashi , voted one of the top 10 cars of SEMA 2009 by cargurus.com.

About The Artist:
My professional background is that of a graphic designer with more than 25 years experience, but my passion is for the history of automobile racing.

I started collecting vintage toy racecars in the end of the 1980’s and this led to picking items, books and reference material on racing history. After a few years of more collecting and studying all this, I decided to transfer my accumulated knowledge to paper in the form of illustrations and stories. In 2007, I set up a company Automobiliart.com to market my creations.

Through my motor sports artwork, I’m trying to capture the “feeling” that the spectator has watching the race, their favorite driver in battle or the classic racecar at rest.

My favorite drivers are many; I usually have heroes from each period of racing. I love Tazio Nuvolari from the ‘30s for his passion and skill; Juan Manuel Fangio was a shy humble gentleman and artist on the track; Sir Stirling Moss, who could win in whatever he drove; Sir Jack Brabham, with his single-minded push for success as a racer and builder; and of course Gilles Villeneuve, his fearlessness and driving art, nicely summed up at Dijon in 1979.

Most of my my art is available, either as an original or a limited edition.

I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia with my wife, our two sons and a cat.

About The Artist:
Born and raised in New Jersey, Eric Soller grew up with a pencil in his hand. Throughout high school and college, a majority of his time was spent drawing, painting and printing. After graduated from the University of South Florida in 1980 with BFA in Lithography, Soller began his professional career in graphic arts, working as an illustrator and designer throughout the northeast around Portland, Maine and Boston, Massachusetts.

In early 2005, new opportunities presented Soller with access to the NASCAR world. This led him to pit road during NASCAR races, where he began photographing the eye-catching events occurring along pit road– inspiration for a series of paintings, that are currently marketed as limited edition Giclee prints through NASCAR retail channels and his website, www.ericsoller.com.

Each image is carefully composed and drawn out on 40”x 30” illustration board, then meticulously painted in gouache. Using his photographs as reference, each painting is created to capture the passion and finesse of the sport, celebrating the excitement that takes place in the pits. These paintings are created to accurately depict actual race moments, captured in time; with an attention to detail that conveys the textures, sensations and excitement of the sport.

About The Artist:
California’s Alan Scott Greene is known for his striking use of colors. His compositions create a feeling of speed, excitement and electricity that bring his subjects to life.

It was evident at an early age that this Illinois native was drawn like a magnet to bright colors and fast moving objects. As a youngster, Alan was never satisfied with the limited selections of Crayons available, and always insisting on having their biggest box. His parents recognized Alan’s need to express himself through art, and provided him with all the material he needed. This eventually led to his studies at the Art Institute of Chicago where he excelled, and where his surreal work was shown in the Chicago museum of art.

A lifelong love of Porsche sports and racing cars began in the mid-60s when he saw an advertisement for the original “soft-window” Targa. “It was love at first sight,” says Alan, “and I bought my first Porsche when I was only 18!”

His passion for the German marque rekindled his love for art. After a long hiatus, he developed an affinity and ability for the new genre of digital art. A Porsche artwork he created in 2004 led to commissions from many of his friends in the exotic car and automotive racing community.

Today, Alan’s art is created with state-of-the-art digital tools. He combines photography, digital hand-painting and proprietary techniques to produce a style that is instantly recognizable, yet never predictable. It comes alive with his signature use of vibrant bursts of color.

Alan’s artworks are like eye candy. Deliciously colored, you can’t stop at just one! Start your collection today. Werks offered on museum quality canvas, and textured watercolor art paper.

About The Artist:
Commercial designer by day automotive artist by night – born in 1979 I followed a path through design college and university to a career in commercial interior design. I have always had a passion for cars, racing and motoring especially classics and was lucky enough to grow up with access to some fantastic vintage vehicles.

When I’m not designing I’m drawing and painting – Working mainly in marker pens and gouche or graphite I enjoy exploring different composition and styles although my prefered style is to evoke the the sensation and feel of driving (& sometimes flying) in my work. I enjoy the buzz of working on commisions and the pleasure of receiving feedback from happy customers.

Prints of my work will soon be available. New for 2010 I am planning an art request service where I will draw suggested subject and offer the painting for sale only once it is complete – please feel free to email me with suggestions.

About The Artist:
Fries Reyntjens was born in 1974 in Kortrijk, Belgium. Since childhood, He has been fascinated by cars. He has been drawing cars for as long as he can remember.

Fries attended Sint Lucas Art school in Ghent – Belgium. Where he got his master degree in Fine arts the year 2000. Since then he has been working as a graphic designer and automotive artist.

“Fries aims to create paintings that capture motor racing on it’s nostalgic best.”

The real challenge is interpreting the subject and to make an appealing image. This is obtained by skillfully manipulating the historic references, the impression of speed, the background, light and reflections…and making them stronger through color, mood, texture, composition and style. The interaction between these elements make every new painting a personal challenge. It’s a process of constantly searching and continuously evolving his work.

His goal is to create work that provides lasting pleasure and an artistic value, not only to motoring enthousiasts.

Fries has sold his paintings on various exhibitions and motorracing events in Europe. He has had several commissions for motoring related art and posters.

Commisions are accepted.
