A 1975 MV Agusta Magni, at “Auto World” in Brussels. My Brother in Law and I spent an enjoyable morning there, touring the collection. We were fortunate in that there was a James Bond Exhibition on at the time, with some of the Bond cars – very cool. My 6 year old niece, Ashley earnedContinue reading “MV Agusta”

Old MGB, Ancaster Swap Meet
This was a lovely and very old (my guess is a ’64 or ’65) MGB… the view doesn’t show it well, but it had a nice tonneau cover, but I think that what drew me to it was its colour – I’ve included a little “chart” on the lower left hand side to give youContinue reading “Old MGB, Ancaster Swap Meet”
Triumph
I was sitting in a Pub called the “G café” in Athens last year and we sat at a sort of “shelf” table that looked out onto the street… interestingly, the table height was about level with the sidewalk outside, so I got this great dogs eye view of this motorcycle and started to sketch.Continue reading “Triumph”

Marker Renderings
A couple of marker renderings done for a marker rendering tutorial for some of my students last week. I always find these a little tough as I don’t do much marker rendering anymore, so the first couple always seem to come out rubbish… these weren’t the first couple – you don’t get to see thoseContinue reading “Marker Renderings”
Lagonda
A quick sketch of a Lagonda – again – from British Car Day…
Japanese GP
My thoughts are with Jules, his family and The Marussia Team. #ForzaJules
Italian GP
Campo Santa Margherita, Venice
This was the first sketch I did on the trip to Italy… I think the lack of practice shows! Still – it was a surprisingly tricky sketch as all the buildings across the “square” were slightly off kilter from one another which made for a slightly shifting perspective. A sketch in Venice – and noContinue reading “Campo Santa Margherita, Venice”
Maserati 250F
Another go at getting used to the Wacom interface. I’m generally pleased with the way that this one came out, but would like to “clean these up a bit; that is, rely less on the “sketchiness” and achieve a more “rendered” finish…
