I love the artistry of a custom made bike. I think the personality, as well as the spirit of a person is wonderful to experience through their own form of artwork. Scout Underwood, formerly of Baker Drivetrain, is one of those artist. I hope you all enjoy looking at his bike.
Read the book review for “Italian Racing Red Book” on Veloce Today!
On sale now, my automotive illustrations are featured in the new British book series named “Racing Colours” in which I produced event specific, historic automotive profile illustrations. Many hours went into the research and creation of these illustrations. Race cars were often configured very differently from event to event. We worked hard to make each illustration an accurate visual representation.
So far I have produced illustrations for Italian Racing Red, German Racing Silver, and French Racing Blue. Hopefully there will be many more titles to come.
Here are the covers that shoe my work. Italian Racing Red is available now with the French Racing Blue and German Racing Silver available in June at Amazon.com, Borders.com, and other fine book sellers.
June 11-14, I’ll be at the Hotlanta Collector Experience in Atlanta GA. Most likely I’ll be travelling with the model maker responsible for most of the Muscle Machines range and we’ll be bringing in the Muscle Machines quarter scale Willys so if you’re attending come over and say G’Day. It’ll be good to meet people and chat about diecast, Muscle Machines and cars in general.
Just a note to let you know I have made a major update to my automotive art web site

Found that WordPress make a great content management tool even for non-blog sites. Easy to update and add to.

Here’s my latest acrylic painting featuring a 1934 Packard on a sunny afternoon.
Mick Walsh of Classic & Sports Car Magazine recently interviewed me for a Motoring Art feature. Mick talks about what drove my interest in automotive illustration work and what I’m doing today. The article is published in the April 2009 issue.
I just launched my new website: #
It covers my automotive illustration work for books, magazines, and events, as well as my other design work.
My latest NZ racer. Another NZ great. George Begg manufactured the Begg F5000 cars in a tin shed in the South Island of New Zealand. This FM5 was taken to England in 1974 and both it and David Oxton acquitted themselves very well.
