About a month ago I was preparing to do a a few silver/grey vehicle renderings back to back and wanted to test out some materials together. I often do a 'test piece' prior to a full on piece to make sure that the markers and paints I've selected work well together on the surface I'm going to use. This 32 was the combination of a few idea's I'd had for a custom roadster, but was also a great opportunity to test out those materials. This piece was done using markers and airbrushed acrylics on paper, then I picked up a frame for it and hand pinstriped it with tan to match the interior. It was a whole lot of fun to put together and I got to learn a lot from it- I'll take any excuse to draw a custom car!
The original piece is available at www.PinstripeChris.com/Store
I've started on a new batch of these custom painted framed prints using nice smooth satin black frames, and prints from my most recent custom car art. This piece in particular is titled "V-8" and features a 1932 Ford. Once the print is installed into the frame I continue the artwork out onto the frame using white and black pinstripe enamels and a pinstripe brush freehand. I really like the look of these- especially with the artwork wrapping around the inner and outside edges, it just has so much more life! This is also a great way to get a finished, framed print of some killer artwork and get some original artwork at the same time. I've started on a set of these from the same custom car series using the pieces "Straight-8" and "Dual Bullet" as the basis for the custom framed prints- I plan on selling them as a set, but each can be bought individually for $50 + Shipping, and I'm more then happy to ship internationally.

I have a good bit of catching up to do here on the Blog- I've switched gears a little bit with a handful of recent pieces that all started with this piece I did 2 Saturdays ago titled "V-8". This piece pays tribute to the 1st production car with a V-8, the 1932 Ford. If you look carefully you'll find 8 pistons mixed in with the perspective-ized sharpie art. The really fun thing about this piece is that all the lines were done completely freehand with Sharpies- No rulers were used. This original piece sold before I had even finished it- but 3 Limited Edition Signed Print sizes are available. The piece was scanned so the prints will be absolutely true to the original in very high definition.

Stay tuned for lots more of these!
