Dream Runner
as seen in Rod & Custom Magazine, December 2008
I have this unholy fascination with Moonshine Runners, which started in my youth. The simplest of hot rodding ethics (irony?) is what these cars embody: Stuffing the biggest engine into the most unassuming of cars, and running for your life. Sure, NASCAR grew from the idea, but I'm more of a "Car of Yesterday" kinda guy.
I took a '53 Ford and went ape on it. My idea was a fictional scenario wherein our 'Shine-running pal has found the key to time travel, and brought back a number of upgrades to help his family ply their trade.
Sure, it's a custom... what with that chop, lengthened doors, smoothing and sculpting galore, and that custom grill, with... what's that? Yep. A Potvin blower front and center. It's also part hot rod, pro-touring and street machine. It bends genres and styles equally.
Set on a moonlit night with Johnny Law in hot pursuit, this was more than a fun piece, it jump-started my graphic novel. More on that soon. |

Ford Transit SEMA Van
we can knock your proposal out of the park
New cars can be fun, too... especially when designing for not only a friend, but a supremely open-minded and fun character like Tim Strange.
We put our heads together, and threw down the ultimate BMX team-hauling, custom Ford Transit Van yet conceived. The real fun is in the detail work (in the full-size art, you can even read the texton that literature in the back door pockets, and witness a comedy classic on the video monitors. I'm a giver.), which I threw down double-time on this one.
Give me a shout to pen some stunning proposal art for your next dream project, and I'll give you the same red carpet treatment. You'll have a blast. |

1952 Buick Resilience
KKOA National Award winner
I loved this project like my own son. Between working with my good friend Tim Strange again, and having clients like Erik and Paul Hansen, well... it just doesn't get any better than that. Ever.
With car owners who have scooped-up major, and I mean MAJOR gold at shows, we threw everything at this project, taking two VERY established Street Rod owners, and making them Custom Car owners extraordinaire. Extremely open-minded, the father and son team hit Tim and I with some great reference material, and we interpreted the Motorama-style kustoms and concept cars as never before.
Not one inch of the Buick escaped some change, and every bit was planned for a purpose... be it to honor the look we were after, or to balance the car, the extreme of planning and rigid styling was balance perfectly with fun, friendship, and supreme memories! |

Oldsmomad
styling exercise for Rod & Custom Magazine
This was one of my Dream Car concepts for
R-n-C a few years ago. I pondered what
would have become of the 2-door wagon, had
Oldsmobile been allowed to play along with
Chevy and Pontiac from '55-'57
.
...then imagined the wagons as hot rodded
versions. One was a mild custom, and the other
took a decidedly different route, serving as
first a show-going custom car in the late-1950's,
then finding new life in the sixties as a street
machine-y parts runner and calling card for
a speed shop. A fun combo of custom
touches and hot rod influence, these sktches
incorported my vision of a Vista Cruiser-like
roof panel for both cars, this model
getting the split window.
Sometimes, the fun isn't just in the design,
it's the back-story as well! |

Street Rodder Road Tour Car
20,000 miles in modern traditional style
What's cooler than designing a car that will see the street? One that will showcase the best-of-the-best in parts and accessories, and that will be seen nationwide, and in press coverage for a year. Top that with getting to work with my very good friend Zane Cullen, and you start to see how sweet this is.
Zane and I discussed this thing over a year before we got the nod, and we decided that a traditional feel really suited the Shadow Rods XL-27, and drawing cues from Nor-Cal rodding (and AMBR) history, it all sort of just fell together... on paper, anyway.
After a few dozen revisions, we nailed the blue and oxblood combo, and a supremely talented crew absolutely NAILED it. More fun than doodling this thing? Reading of its travels each month. |
