Thought I would share a few of my concept illustrations, maybe they will inspire some new builds:)

#1..This one is pretty obvious, what Caddy may have considered at one point? I've seen similar GM prototype clays for a sixteen... I design most of my stuff to built full scale using parts one can actually obtain.. basically this is a 64 Eldorado with a Marlin top and some mild period body mods.

#2.. Gran Sport Corvair... lots of folks have wanted to build a real version of this but as far as I know, nobody has... I did this several years ago on simulated GM studio paper I made from an original studio drawing (it was of a mid 50's caddy roadster)

#3... phantom Gen 2 Econoline pick up, done up in 1971 GT trim

#4... it started as a 68 F-100.. a concept I put together for Gene Winfield, for a burger joint thing that never happened... look hard, you can still some F-100 in there:)

Hi Pharhoa

Yes, I used to post art on there quite a bit.. Whatever Ryan did when he changed the system though seemed to make it really slow, and I haven't really posted much on there since. Plus when I've under contract to Mattel for almost a year so not much of what I have been creating can be shared:(.. been busy lately though!!! look for the next Speedway catalog, first art cover they have done in about 25 years... and check out the Hot Wheels in Walmart (they have gotten them first I guess).. The new StarWars cars are some of what Ive been working on.. in the first release the R2 is one of my designs, and it looks it:) the only "bubble top" in the whole up coming line up.

Here is another model friendly design of mine, this one I sell on a T-shirt but you can clearly see where the idea comes from:)

Thanks for all the kind compliments fellas... and I have had a few PMs asking me to show more so, here is some more.

I did this one for Round 2 a few years ago, they needed a piece of art to have a certain look so it would match other boxes they had. It was for a 1/25 slot car... They don't/cant pay much for art but I did it anyway because I have always wanted to do Box art... and hope I will get the chance to do some more for them in the future:)

cool Mathew, that T's an oldie!!! maybe its time to update??? If your on FB by chance I have a folder in my pics that is nothing but the doodles, all 170 plus of them.. I think I only have 6 or 7 on ebay right now...

.. and John, yes I use mostly markers, all kinds.. a little sharpie here and there, some off brands,,, the bulk of color wash is chartpak AD markers, but sometimes I also use prima colors.. all depends on the color and how "juicy" I need it to go down is.. The AD markers are much smoother and lay down that water color look.

I love doing the little doodles, they are fun, make people smile, and only take about an hour to do so I can sell them at a reasonable price...

Right now I've been working on a new print set to sell for Christmas... basically its paper dolls and construction for boys, PAPER speed shop.. I've been posting hype for the set on my FB and folks seem to dig it.. For anyone that ever read CARtoons, its done in that flavor. Im putting it together as a loose booklet of about 13 pages for hopefully $15... Its not ready yet but here is what I have been showing on line:).. hope you like, I assume any modeler would:)
