Ferrari 330GTC cutaway
I did this work about 4 years ago for a client who was writing a book about the Ferrari 330GTC and wanted a “cutaway drawing” as well as “Designer comments” on the car. I couldn’t have been more excited… and got myself stuck in. This was the first full “cutaway drawing” that I had everContinue reading “Ferrari 330GTC cutaway”
Frank Lloyd Wright, Rochester
While in Rochester, got to see this – a Frank Lloyd Wright house (the Boynton House) of which I was unaware. It’s not far from the George Eastman Museum. I sketched this at home as it is a private home and the people who live there deserve their privacy and our respect (and probably didn’tContinue reading “Frank Lloyd Wright, Rochester”
Lunar Camera, George Eastman Museum
A sketch of the Lunar Camera (Actually, “Lunar Orbiter Photographic Subsystem”) on display at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, New York. This thing is big – about 1 metre square, and massively complex. Built, I think in 1967. Today, would probably fit in a box about 5 cm cubed…. 🙂
More Jag concepts
More development. I thought the last batch needed some “softening” in places in order to relate to the original E Type form – but I fear I may have softened these too much now and will need to tighten up some of the body in order to make it look a little more futuristic andContinue reading “More Jag concepts”
Concept Sketches
These are some preliminary sketches I’ve done for a project I’m working on. My Colleague, Tony Fiore (The bloke who runs our shop at school) and I are going to make a 1/4 scale hard styling clay model this spring (after the semester has been completed) and will be documenting the process in the hopeContinue reading “Concept Sketches”
Another Shirt…
Another shirt coming out on blipshift this coming Monday…This one a Renault Alpine A110. I wanted to have it titled “Je t’aime” but blipshift has gone with something else.
Bridge at Ronda (in progress)
A work in progress – as you can see. This one is tricky – again – it’s small – and I don’t want to resort to small (000) brushes but it’s hard not to given the detail in the bridge. I can see that need to increase the arch on the upper left hand sideContinue reading “Bridge at Ronda (in progress)”
Sketch/painting Venice
I’ve ignored paintings since working on a piece of Fernando Alonso winning the European Grand Prix of Valencia in a Ferrari. This seemed to be the perfect subject – and I had all the reference and this painting was going to be GREAT. It wasn’t. I worked and worked. I painted gesso over half theContinue reading “Sketch/painting Venice”
Alfa Spider Concept
I’ve been busy of late, but not posting, as you’ll have noticed. My students were recently working on a “classic redesign” and one of the subjects (surprise, surprise) was a 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce. Wonder where that came from? Well amongst many others there was a Mercedes 300sl convertible, a Dino Ferrari and aContinue reading “Alfa Spider Concept”
