    I Have A Large Favor To Ask Of Any Good Artists!!!

    Well, I guess I've gotten your attention...:D . I was just wondering if there were any good artists in here that would be willing to draw up a representation of my car the way I would like it to be? If needed, I'd be willing to pay. If your interested, either post here, or send me a PM/Email.

    Are we talking pen/pencil drawings, watercolors, chalk, oil painting? What about virtual drawings? Is this something you want to mount on a wall, or save as your computer background? What dimensions are you looking for?

    Well, the reason I wanted it was so that I could get a better idea of what it's gonna look like. Also, it helps to have an example of what you're aiming for to send in when requesting sponsorship from auto parts manufacturers. And truly, it doesn't matter what the medium or size is, but I would like to be able to see details fairly clearly. I think that a virtual drawing could conceivably be the best option, as then I could print it out if I wanted a solid copy, and it's also saved on the computer for digital interactions. But, I'd rather have whichever showed the better detail, and provided an accurate representation. I know that it's really a lot to ask, but that's essentially what I'm looking for.

    I know a professional artist that does concept drawings and the like,he has designed cars that have won the riddler award as well as the oakland roadster show(very prestigious honors)all he does is cars and bikes too. the going rate is $150. but in my opinion its well worth the money, and yes they are more than suitable to frame. email me if you want his contact info.

    Thanks Stefan :D

    Wow. That's actually a lot more than I was thinking, and a lot more than I'd be willing/able to spend any time soon, although I would if I could. I imagine that he does great work, but frankly, I don't really require a professional. All I'm really looking for right now is just something to give me a concept of what the car could look like. But I'd appreciate the contact info anyways.

    Hey RadMav as I was reading the post I was thinking M.K. he is the best (y) and then as I read farther you wrote. He has done alot of work on my brother in laws 53 all of my Mavericks and all the custom shops use him here too, funny thing is all the shops tote that they do this custom work and in reality he does it all. I am sure if you have had work done by him on your personnal car you can damn near pick out his work at a show it usually has a distinctive "something" that draws me to them and then I look for his signature!!

    yeah, I think kenny is the best around too, and one helluva super nice guy!
    hes done several of my vehicles including the graphics on our 77. I've already contacted him about my 72, I'm just not quite far enuf for him to start designing the paint scheme yet. I can hardly wait even to see what the concept pic will be like(y)
