Before you toss that piece of paper one of you will win, I want to explain what you won... This is my contribution to the WCC05 charity and I thought it would be cool to do a sketch for a fellow 914 owner.

A little about me: I had an early passion for art and excelled into high school. I took a break from art focusing instead on police law, engineering prep, and partying. After 4 years of junior college (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) my old friend Ron convinced me not transfer to SJ State for an engineering degree and instead attend the Art Center College of Design with him to study Transportation Design. It was not the best financial decision because I had a Cal grant for a State College and not for a private school. We spent the night putting a portfolio together and driving the next day to Pasadena to drop them off with our applications. A few weeks later, I was accepted and he was not. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) This was in the early 80's when I began to build my V8 914.

Here's some "fine" art. Excuse the lousy photo, I don't have a large scanner...

The Miura and Talbot are actually large pieces. The former in Dr. Martin Dyes and the later in guache and pastel. The lower left is stipple (ink dots) and the formula car is marker and pastel...

Here's a recent piece on a ceramic plate while at Petroglyph with my daughter. You pay a studio fee and pick a plaster piece and they provide all the paint and kiln. Painting on plaster is not easy because it soaks up moisture and it's color changes after it's baked.

I am now officially impressed Felix, I could never do anything even remotely like that. Some people are gifted that way, I was not, and clearly, you were. Outstanding work. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

tell me about it...I'm still trying to figure out what my "gift" or natural talent is (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
I'm beginning to think I don't have one (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

Thanks all, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I forgot to mention the art will be a color sketch, not one of the tight renderings earlier dipicted. I may get as tight as the Meras though. Here's a sketch of a "Carrera GT 914" concept.

Felix-

What a gift!!

Are you a freelance artist or do you work for a firm?

I used to do facility management for three different automotive design studios (Toyota, Ford and Mazda) Your work is definately on par with what I have seen there over the years.

So did you friend become a cop? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
