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:
An Interior Design graduate from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Rick worked for architects and designers in South Florida before opening his own design firm in Fort Lauderdale in 1985. After Desert Storm, his love of aircraft and patriotism guided him to enlist in the Navy for the opportunity to serve his country. This was to be a temporary detour from his chosen career path. 18 years later he is still in the Navy!

His artistic endeavors took pause, but did not falter. As a member of the Naval Flight Demonstration Team, Blue Angels, Rick produced numerous renderings of the F/A-18 “Hornet” in pen and ink. His drawings led to his watercolors and finally oil paintings. The three “A’s”, Aircraft, Automobiles and Architecture are his main subjects of interest. His work plays on the use of shadow and reflection to create intensity and balance.

“As an interior designer, clients would often try to select art that worked with their interior color pallet. Artwork should evoke a feeling, a reaction, or a thought process. If art does that, it doesn’t matter what color the matte is, hang it and enjoy.”

His work is in private collections across the United States.

Available for commissioned work.

I’m Daniel Peirce, owner of Trick Photography, and I produce pictures of motorcycles and cars for publication (primarily motorcycle, but I like cars too). I also produce motorcycle and automotive images for sale as art. My popular series of motorcycle engine photographs has been made into the book, “The Fine Art of the Motorcycle Engine: The Story of the Up-N-Smoke Engine Project.”

My editorial and advertising work has appeared in every major motorcycle magazine in the US… as well as several other countries around the world. I’m famous – but nobody knows it. My latest project is making abstract photographic art out of mechanical subjects. Visit my web site for more information. I work out of beautiful Grapevine, Texas, USA.

Have camera, will travel.

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.

About The Artist:
Until recently I have specialised in automotive photography, covering a few races each year for magazines and websites. This year I’ve decided to occasionally put down my camera and try a pencil or pen instead.

I’m interested in events with a rich history such as Goodwood or the Le Mans Classic. With my images I hope to recapture some of the flavour of the glorious past. I also choose events which will offer unusual conditions – endurance races which run into the night and may be struck by dramatic weather. The glamour, speed, noise, smell, the dedicated teams and breathtaking engineering – all of these things I find hugely exciting and are what I try to capture with my photographs and drawings – it’s all about the atmosphere.

All the best,
Stefan Marjoram

About The Artist:
I’ve held a log fascination with vehicles of all kinds – cars, aircraft, motorcycles, and so on.  But what’s intrigued me about them more than anything else is the look of them – the language of their design.  It’s something that’s been lost today, especially with automobiles.  There’s too much out there that comes from a windtunnel and a computer, and next to nothing that comes from the heart and the soul.  I’m hoping that my work, in some way, can reaquaint people with that lost art of design language.

About The Artist:
I’ve been a lover of motorcycles every since my dad bought me my first dirt bike. As a kid I would spend hours going through magazines cutting out pictures of bikes and making scrap books. I not only loved riding I loved the way they looked. To me motorcycles were works of art. I went through several dirt bikes as a teenager and finally after graduating from college I bought my dream bike, a Harley Davidson Low Rider. It was love at first site.

Motorcycles have always be a great source of fun and relaxation for me, a way of escaping the pressures of everyday life. I’ve always enjoyed riding, but I’ve always enjoyed the art as well. Every bike to me is a work of art and I’ve tried to capture that in my photography. It brings great pleasure to me now that I can be a part of sharing that beauty in my photography. You can see more of my photography work at my website.

About The Artist:
Bill Bravo’s creative work combines his love of automobiles, photography, and digital graphic design. His primary focus is custom designing high quality automotive portraits for people lucky enough to own a car that’s special to them.

His first step is to photograph each car very carefully and intensively. But most of the work occurs in his studio using software such as Photoshop. Bill will typically create anywhere from 20 to 50 design variations for the client to select and will work closely with the owner to finalize the look of the finished portrait.

Although he is based on northeast Pennsylvania his client base ranges across a number of states. Bill earned his BFA in graphic design at Kutztown University. Besides his commission work Bill offers a select number of prints that are available through his website.
