This was supposed to have been a “quick” photoshop sketch, but I fear I got a little carried away. I think one of my problems with photoshop is the “zoom” tool – in that I tend to work at 3 or 400%, which means that while there is a nice “sketchiness” at that size, whenContinue reading “Volvo Amazon, Penang, Malaysia”

Happy Valentine’s Day!
…because, let’s face it, nothing say’s “Happy Valentine’s” better than a sketch of Audrey Hepburn in an Autobianchi Binachina convertible…
Bultaco Metralla… in situ
My friend, Gerald, is an inspiration to all of us… not only does he have (quite literally) hundreds of motorcycles in various states of repair and disrepair (mostly the latter) , but he has a lovely vintage Bultaco Metralla in his dining room. Yes. In his dining room. I visited recently and took loads ofContinue reading “Bultaco Metralla… in situ”
Decomposing Honda
I found this leaned against a wall somewhere in a side alley in Malaysia. It was obviously seized, rusted, ripped, and dented, but there was something oddly striking about it, mouldering away, forgotten in the baking heat.
Volvo Mystery Car, Malaysia
I came across this car in a covered parking lot in Penang, Malaysia.I recognized it immediately for a P1800, but as I approached it, noticed that it was missing the chrome flourish down the side and the “fins” on the rear end (red line, in the drawing). I looked at it closely and there wasContinue reading “Volvo Mystery Car, Malaysia”
2016 McLaren Concept
I’m a McLaren fan – and I know this is nasty, but I just couldn’t resist… 🙂 Let’s hope their 2016 car is a lot less like this than last year…
2016 Aston Martin (Force India) Concept
I had a hard time with this one. I wanted to use the traditional Aston Martin colours from sports car racing in the late 50s (which is a sort of light metallic green) but I’m not sure how well I achieved it, or how well it sits with the Johnnie Walker blue and gold…
2016 Williams F1 Concept
I liked last year’s Williams, but was surprised at just how “white” the car was – when you’ve got a great brand and logo like Martini/Martini racing, my argument would be to use it to best effect. With that in mind, is this a bit “overdone”?
2016 Renault F1 Concept
I’d love to see Renault come back with their yellow, black, and white livery. Somehow I think that sponsorship considerations will make this untenable. It’d be nice though, wouldn’t it?
2016 Ferrari F1 Concept
This is a tad late as I was having trouble getting the “higher res” picture to show (if you click on the pic, you should get a larger image in a new window). Have got that sorted now – and the Mercedes concept should be fixed too.
