Don’t usually do portraits, but I was buggering about in front of iphoto and did this little sketch of my lovely wife and thought it turned out rather well…

A big thank you and slow clap…
… to the person who dented my Alfa. I suppose that this is the problem with caring about the things one owns. I was out with a friend for beers the other week and we were talking about the value in acting as a “steward” for items like this, the fact that preserving an historicContinue reading “A big thank you and slow clap…”
TR3, British Car Day
A very pretty TR3 I saw at the British car Day. Love these cars. My Dad had one, but it was before I was born. I’ve seen pictures of my elder sister as a baby sitting in the car. My Father’s was white with a Prussian blue racing stripe. This one was signal red… I’veContinue reading “TR3, British Car Day”
British Car Day?
The cars on display at British Car Day are eclectic – everything from new Minis to ancient Rolls-Royces. from Deloreans to Triumph Stags. I thought this was pushing it a bit though… 🙂 The owner had helpfully placed a sheet of paper under the windshield wiper stating that, although the car was clearly not British,Continue reading “British Car Day?”
British Car Day 2015
Well, this took a while… British Car Day was a couple of weeks ago… oh well – better late than never. This was a lovely dark (not BRG, I don’t think) green Mg Midget. This is an earlier version with the chrome bumpers and you don’t see many of these around anymore. In lovely nick.Continue reading “British Car Day 2015”
Lancia Evo – Italian Car Day, 2015
Another car from Italian car day. I think I’ve met this bloke before, at “Cars and Coffee” (there can’t be that many red Lancia Evo HFs around Toronto…), but I didn’t see him at Italian car day – just the car. Looked even better sitting on the grass, beside a bronze Lancia Beta Monte Carlo withContinue reading “Lancia Evo – Italian Car Day, 2015”
Apologies…
Sorry – it’s been a very dry period here at the blog. I’ve been very busy trying to finish a major project as well as prepare content for the upcoming school year and this has taken me away from my sketching and cartooning. The cartoons are likely done for this year, as I haven’t evenContinue reading “Apologies…”
De Tomaso Pantera, Italian Car Day
August 8th was Italian Car day in Woodbridge, at Boyd Conservation area. I was unable to take the Alfa and show it off as it is still awaiting a fix for the fuel pressure issue, so I went as a “civilian” 😉 . There was a decent selection of cars there, especially considering the factContinue reading “De Tomaso Pantera, Italian Car Day”
Fiat 500, Rome
I’m a little late getting around to this sketch. This was a car I saw when I was visiting Rome last year, and it amazed me. The reason for my amazement was that it was an exceedingly beat up example that was obviously still in regular use. Where I live (in Toronto, Canada) one typicallyContinue reading “Fiat 500, Rome”
2015, Hungary
Not my usual approach to a cartoon, but it was an unusual race – with far, far too much to try to cover in the usual method… !
