New Sharpie Art "Lamborgreeni" For Sale

After taking about a thousand photos, here's the final picture of the piece titled "Lamborgreeni". This piece is a new version of the piece I did a couple weeks back titled "Art In Motion", but sports a huge mix of acrylics in addition to the sharpie art to bring it to life. I went with a number of different application techniques- brushed acrylics, flung acrylics, airbrushed acrylics...all over the Sharpie art. Even decided to go with a carbon fiber like stripe at the top to kind of help keep the mood without dominating the piece with black, white and green. The corner shot is to show that the artwork wraps around all the edges of the canvas giving it a complete and finished look. The colors are nice and bright, but definitely better in person. This is a great piece for anyone who like Italian craftsmanship mixed with abstract art.  I will definitely be doing more of these with some more cool cars!

NEW Sharpie Art "Art In Motion, Stays In Motion"

So I had this random thought earlier today: If an object in motion, stays in motion-  what about objects that look like they're in motion even when they are stationary? Visually, I'd say they are definitely in motion... but I thought I might try my hand at making an art piece that emphasized this idea a bit. I started out with a profile sketch of a Lamborghini Gallardo (I'm on a big Lambo kick right now), then carefully put ink to the cars shape until I was happy with where it was. Next I built up the surrounding shapes to mimic the aggressiveness of the Gallardo while maintaining a similar black and white balance. That balance would later serve to unify the outside shapes with the cars shapes. I didn't have a solid plan for the wheels so I tried a number of variations in pencil before moving forward with divided 6 spoke wheels. The brake calipers were added to bring some detail to the wheel area and break up the solid black. The tail light is the only thing I used red ink in since I thought the subtle color would be a nice touch. All the ink, sketch work were done 100% completely free hand on this piece of 9"x17" Marker Paper. The background gradient and tail light glow I added digitally-  I sometimes will do this 1st before airbrushing it onto the piece to see if the idea even works. In this case, I think it really helps the overall look. To me, this little piece looks like it's frozen in motion, and the snap shot caught every bit of movement, speed, and aggression this Lamborghini is made of. I can't wait to have a gigantic canvas print of this made for my living room!

I'm also now thinking of doing a series of these based off other Super Cars and Exotics

Well it's been a long time, so here's something I did for fun. Sharpie recently sent me a package full of lots and lots of markers. Included in this box was a 1/18 scale model of a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. Very generous gift, so I thought what better then to Sharpie it. It actually turned out to be quite challenging- The surface area was so small and I wanted to try and get in as much as possible. It got easier as I went along though. And as I was working on it I was seeing how the scale of the artwork as well as the design and shape could have a major impact on the finished product. I didn't really see it until I was about half way through, but it at least made me consider a few things. I really like doing the highly detailed and dense artwork- but maybe I need to put more focus and emphasis on the overall shape and flow. The original Sharpie Lamborghini did this wonderfully. Now it's time for me to take my artwork a little further. Looking at this scale model helped me to see the entire thing at once rather then being hunched over an area for hours at a time But back to the mini Lambo! I got the artwork done in under 2 hours- I even went as far as to take a white Sharpie Paint marker and pinstripe the rims. It may not seem like it, but it made a huge difference. Next I got to practice using the manual features on the digital camera. Since the object I was shooting was pretty small, the auto settings weren't cutting it. Just couldn't get it to focus correctly. I used some white and black illustration board as background and foreground for my make shift photo shoot. Some spiffy angles later, and some sharp focus and Voilà- we have cool photos! I definitely want to be doing some more of these in the future- it's great practice and a lot of fun!
