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:
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:
Few people in life get the chance to combine three passions into one. Jim Sansovich has gotten that opportunity and what you see here on these pages is the result. Jim has been an award winning illustrator doing illustrations for Fortune 500 companies such as Warner Bros. Universal Studios, and General Mills. Later Jim turned his attention to Photography and his unique photo collages have appeared in, and on the cover of several automotive magazines including Vette, Shark Quarterly, and Corvette Fever. Several pieces have ended up in museum collections. Jim has photographed millions of dollars worth of Chevrolet Corvettes, General Motors concept cars, Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Classic Cars, and Harley Davidsons.

Jim has been a lifelong motorhead since he was a kid living across the street from a NHRA Top Fuel Dragster car owner. Jim got to sit in a number of drag racing cars that would often be at the home, and dreamed of screaming down the quarter mile. When finally old enough Jim got to own some of the cars he dreamed about as a kid including several Pontiac Firebirds, and Chevrolet Corvettes.

Now Jim has combined his love for anything that has a motor with photography, and illustration. These images start out as photographs Jim has taken at a variety of car shows. The images are then digitally re-painted in several programs resulting in a melding of illustration and photography. The final image has a look and feel that can’t be found in just one of those disciplines.

Images are available as fine art Giclee prints on acid free paper. Images are available framed and unframed. Unframed prints are 17 X 22.

About The Artist:
Having owned a ’57 Corvette since the early 1980′s, I have always been fascinated with placing a photo of my car into exotic or fantasy backgrounds. Using this technique for my real estate postcards and seeing the reaction from the recipients, I decided to start a small business to create works of art for other car enthusiasts. That’s when Rat Rod Studios came into existence. Rat Rod Studios exclusively features my automotive photographic artwork. If you want a memorable car photo and want it to look a bit different from all the ordinary car photos out there, you should definitely check out the artwork of Rat Rod Studios.

About The Artist:
My name is Chris Bradsworth and I live in the UK.  Having always been interested in Art and Cars, I finally decided to combine the two and create Comic Car Art. My first pictures were drawn for a few friends as gifts for birthdays and such.  From the reactions I received, I realized that personalized drawings can mean so much to people.  It was thanks to my friends and family that I started my web site.  When I came up with the idea they supported me in the set up and early stages of promotion, by telling friends, colleagues and introducing me to some real ‘petrol head’ formula 1 fans! For this I am very grateful!

Whether it’s for a birthday, wedding or any other special event, a personalized drawing is the perfect gift to make some one laugh.  My drawings are about having fun and making people feel good! When you commission  one of my drawings I will discuss every detail that you would like to be included.  Maybe you have a funny event that happened with your vehicle?  Some particular badge, graphic or even damage that is an important feature? All of this can be included to give an excellent cartoon interpretation!

Please fell free to visit my site and take a look at some of the commissions I have drawn already.  Any comments on my work are welcome and if you would like to discuss a commission please contact me via my e-mail address.
