<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <br /> Interestingly, a client from New Jersey ordered 2 prints this past Christmas from me because she remembered me live-sketching at the 2015 edition.<br /> <br /> This stirred me into considering a trip to the 2018 Concours when out of the blue, I received a text from my good friend Michael Ricciardi inviting me to join him there.<br /> <br /> Michael owns <a href="http://www.europeanmotorsports.co/" target="_blank"><b>European Motorsports</b></a> in Lawrence MA, and he had two cars at the Bonhams auction being held at the Concours. One was a stunning, low mileage 1986 Lamborghini Countach and the other was an equally stunning low mileage 1986 Ferrari Testarossa “Flying Mirror”.<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhzEdysFf6GUCJZ17VXwsD1caOJPhOJlQMa6F1QMPT-Wvqm77xuefxCWpFzBfnUCtinO7DyUzH8zJp3lgNfL9bwlUCoHRj3g4VlWKckMGCRi8vk7cZAoKEKismQyLpwlaUEL6kPdJj29tr/s1600/European+Motorsports_Countach+and+Testarossa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="672" data-original-width="1008" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhzEdysFf6GUCJZ17VXwsD1caOJPhOJlQMa6F1QMPT-Wvqm77xuefxCWpFzBfnUCtinO7DyUzH8zJp3lgNfL9bwlUCoHRj3g4VlWKckMGCRi8vk7cZAoKEKismQyLpwlaUEL6kPdJj29tr/s400/European+Motorsports_Countach+and+Testarossa.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The 1949 24 heures du Mans marked the return to racing at the Circuit de la Sarthe after World War II.<br /> <br /> There were 49 starters for the race, driving Delages, Frazer Nashs, Bentleys, HRGs, Aston Martins, Healeys, Simcas, Talbot-Lagos, and for the very first time, Ferraris.<br /> <br /> Two Ferrari 166 MMs were entered, one being driven by the team of Luigi Chinetti and Peter Mitchell-Thomson (Lord Selsdon) and the other by Jean Lucas and Pierre Louis-Dreyfus.<br /> <br /> The Ferrari of Chinetti and Lord Selsdon kept a stead pace near the front while the Ferrari of Lucas and Louis-Dreyfus crashed out early on lap 53.<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaZ-SNS4uMfw1IAvwB9YSb-9dPoCbYHfS0mUBGseKa9VU5l2G75Ezl52lt7dPCJQU75mu-1O8h8wslSr14ESvA0YWi5yvvjBu9IGQmB13vZxVFewg5UsrCMj4XLBKTyqzlJKKzq1qPewUT/s1600/Chinetti+-+Ferrari+166+MM+-+Le+Mans+1949_Web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="756" data-original-width="1008" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaZ-SNS4uMfw1IAvwB9YSb-9dPoCbYHfS0mUBGseKa9VU5l2G75Ezl52lt7dPCJQU75mu-1O8h8wslSr14ESvA0YWi5yvvjBu9IGQmB13vZxVFewg5UsrCMj4XLBKTyqzlJKKzq1qPewUT/s400/Chinetti+-+Ferrari+166+MM+-+Le+Mans+1949_Web.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br />Lord Selsdon was feeling quite ill at the time, managing a total of only 72 minutes of racing, so Luigi Chinetti did the lion’s share of the driving for the race.<br /> <br /> Eight hours in, Chinetti pushed the Ferrari into the lead, which he kept to the end, nursing the car with a slipping clutch.<br /> <br /> Amazingly, it was Luigi Chinetti 3rd Le Mans win, having also won in 1932 with Raymond Sommer and in 1934 with Philippe Étancelin.<br /> <br /> It was also a landmark win for the fledgling Ferrari company, and a hint of the future domination that Ferrari would have on the race through the 1950’s and the early 1960’s.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the current vintage racing scene at diverse venues ranging from Silverstone to Prescott, you’ll probably chance to see a lovely proportioned single-seat open-wheeled race car, the E.R.A., shorthand for <b>English Racing Automobiles</b>.<br /><br /> These cars were the brainchild of Humphrey Cook, Raymond Mays, and Peter Berthon in late 1933. It was their way of upholding British prestige in international racing by the design, manufacture and creation of a team of single-seat race cars.<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhupSGrAKdG0c53277jMvn5sdRNcYY8UsKyHuODrJ2ELOILEiGjQwYfoTfT4HcIxVBr_Cw9aRtNXpZ9cXxZTmzJvKey7zRq3GzpV6wc0qiNtBzd08_Ug8v3cRs8mKuJLFrc0C8G5EjuoMU0/s1600/1935+ERA+R1B_web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="756" data-original-width="1008" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhupSGrAKdG0c53277jMvn5sdRNcYY8UsKyHuODrJ2ELOILEiGjQwYfoTfT4HcIxVBr_Cw9aRtNXpZ9cXxZTmzJvKey7zRq3GzpV6wc0qiNtBzd08_Ug8v3cRs8mKuJLFrc0C8G5EjuoMU0/s400/1935+ERA+R1B_web.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /> <br /> Top-tear Grand Prix racing was prohibitively costly, so they set their sights on the smaller Voiturette (1500cc supercharged) class of racing.<br /><br /> The brilliant British designer Reid Railton designed the chassis, and the engine was a highly developed version of well-proven Riley six-cylinder. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As Formula 1 engine capacity rules changed from 1.5 liters to 3 liters (or 1.5 liters compressed) for the 1966-1986 seasons, a few manufacturers were left scrambling for suitable power plants.<br /> <br /> For 1966, Lotus raced their 33 with both a Climax V8 and BRM V8 and H16 engines, with poor results. They also raced their model 43 BRM to one win.<br /> <br /> In the background, Lotus Team owner Colin Chapman was busy convincing the Ford Motor Company to finance the design and build of a new 3 liter V8. Cosworth Engineering Ltd, a successful racing engineering company created by Mike Costin and Frank Duckworth, was commissioned to undertake the new design.<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgY38Oqd3LOIB3WZ9nSK3Lzkt43TuT4BplR2P4GfHVOFISN_0oIJFGa7jj9fQmlQ7QC6RF6-cMhBa1dNrRFdegVcOUwKR9V1Ac32wfjlg7FEBlGJorzOoROxnUqR17NF8dkHap0r3mql5E/s1600/1967+Lotus+Cosworth+49_For+Web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgY38Oqd3LOIB3WZ9nSK3Lzkt43TuT4BplR2P4GfHVOFISN_0oIJFGa7jj9fQmlQ7QC6RF6-cMhBa1dNrRFdegVcOUwKR9V1Ac32wfjlg7FEBlGJorzOoROxnUqR17NF8dkHap0r3mql5E/s400/1967+Lotus+Cosworth+49_For+Web.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="color: #0b5394;">The Ford Cosworth married to the Lotus 49 chassis<br /></span></i> <br /> As in their model 43, Lotus wanted to design the chassis with the engine as a load-bearing structure carrying the rear suspension.

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Can-Am racing was basically McLaren’s game in the late sixties/early nineteen-seventies.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia";">
In Europe, Porsche’s successful 917 was regulated out of competition for 1972,
so their attention turned to the highly popular and lucrative Can-Am series as
a way of repurposing the 917 in the North American market.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "georgia";">
For 1972, the 917-10 was developed, featuring a completely new Spyder body. Roger
Penske’s Team Penske ran the team with primary driver Mark Donohue.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "georgia";">
Early in the season, Donohue was side-lined for most the season in a testing
accident, so George Follmer was recruited to take his place. Follmer dominated
the season by taking five wins out of nine races.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "georgia";">
For 1973, Team Penske was given carte-blanche by Porsche to modify and improve
the 917-10. Penske and Donohue revised the aerodynamics, lengthened the
wheelbase and tweaked the engine, bringing the power up to a monstrous 1580
horsepower!</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge0QaoUzJCcR4lKu61ls_Kl3sch3UJNRD57jv-srH3e-6LvEjMD4ZrKg9m2iq1ayLib-an8RPwHjeXG8UdFeA0yBh4P5FDFZtuJ-QMEkJDh6lG2msi7WWkjp0NE3U_ZbTlht7AOQTf8Lwx/s1600/Sunoco+Porsche+917-30_Web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; font-family: Times; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge0QaoUzJCcR4lKu61ls_Kl3sch3UJNRD57jv-srH3e-6LvEjMD4ZrKg9m2iq1ayLib-an8RPwHjeXG8UdFeA0yBh4P5FDFZtuJ-QMEkJDh6lG2msi7WWkjp0NE3U_ZbTlht7AOQTf8Lwx/s400/Sunoco+Porsche+917-30_Web.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><b>Mark Donohue racing the 917-30 at Watkins Glen</b><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Acrylic on 100cm X 50cm (39.4"x 19.7") canvas </span><span style="background-color: white;"><br />© Paul Chenard 2016</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Original art available, as are limited editions.</span></i></span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "georgia";">
The new car was designated the <b>917-30</b>, and was presented in lovely Sunoco
yellow and blue sponsorship colours.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "georgia";">
Marc Donohue won six out of the season’s eight races in the new racer and took
the 1973 Can-Am Championship for Team Penske.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "georgia";">
New rules for the 1974 season basically outlawed the 917-30, but it still stirs
the blood of those lucky enough to see it in action at the vintage racing
meets.</span></span><!--EndFragment-->

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This coming weekend, it’s the Canadian Grand Prix.<br /> <br /> The Canadian Grand Prix first became a Formula 1 event in 1967 with the race held at Mosport Park near Toronto, Ontario. Through the late 1960’s and the early 1970’s the race was shared between Mosport Park and the Circuit Mont-Tremblant in Québec.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /> <br /> As speeds built up, it was felt the Mosport and Mont-Tremblant were not safe enough, so for 1978, a new Formula 1 track was built in Montréal called Circuit Île Notre-Dame on the island of Notre-Dame.<br /></span><br />

Villeneuve stayed with the leaders from the start, and as they dropped out he moved up to take the lead, driving in a smooth and steady way.<br /> <br /> He went on to win his first Grand Prix race in front of the home crowd on the new track, a real storybook ending!<br /> <br /> After Gilles Villeneuve’s passing in 1982, the track was renamed Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in his honour.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The 100th <b>Indianapolis 500</b> is just around the corner, and it’s making out to be an exciting race.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Canadian driver <b>James Hinchcliffe</b> captured the pole position at 230.760 mph!! It’s doubly amazing because a year ago, Hinchcliffe almost died from the results of an Indy 500 practice crash!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first running of the Indy 500 was just as exciting. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1911, there were 40 cars running the race vs the 33 cars for 2016.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Driver <b>Ray Harroun</b> was running his car, the <b>Marmon Wasp</b>, without a riding mechanic, the only one doing so in the race. To have an idea of what was going on around him, Harroun installed a mirror on the cowl, the first recorded use of a rear-view mirror!</span></span><br />

John Shakespeare from Illinois was a curious gentleman who sought the unusual
and the exciting.<br />
<br />
Heir to his father’s fishing tackle fortune, John discovered fast cars amongst
his other distractions of skydiving and waterskiing. He also had interests in </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt;">oil,
real estate and auto dealerships</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><br />
<br />
He tried his hand at racing Ferraris in the mid-1950s, even racing with Luigi
Chinetti to a 6<sup>th</sup> place finish of the 1954 Carrera Panamericana in a
Ferrari 375 MM.<br />
<br />
By 1963, he had accumulated a large collection of rare cars, with a strong
focus on Bugatti’s.<br />
<br />
The </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt;">Schlumpf</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">brothers in Mulhouse France
heard of his Bugatti’s, and thought they would make excellent additions to the
museum they were creating.<br />
<br />
Negotiations began, with lots of back and forth, and by 1964, a deal was struck
where Shakespeare would selling them all his 30 Bugatti’s for the lowly sum,
including shipping, of $85,000 USD, which works out to about $650,000 USD in
today’s money!</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmuvCztT2u9nTrZXlKylGE3Mi1uP0JNpOMXeFUfg3CJpV0QnmLRtn7QZPLhJNZBJ72exKeifNkgSFhhiMcBhWGtWD2BRUrcze8AhS8zBGfiS9WfImfiBqJ83Vv6WmfqFWnMR2_iIWU12zK/s1600/Sheakspeare+Bugattis+1964.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; font-family: times; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmuvCztT2u9nTrZXlKylGE3Mi1uP0JNpOMXeFUfg3CJpV0QnmLRtn7QZPLhJNZBJ72exKeifNkgSFhhiMcBhWGtWD2BRUrcze8AhS8zBGfiS9WfImfiBqJ83Vv6WmfqFWnMR2_iIWU12zK/s400/Sheakspeare+Bugattis+1964.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><i style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>John Shakespeare seeing off his 30 Bugatti's</b><br />Pen&ink and white markers on blue and brown paper © Paul Chenard 2016</span></i><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">They were all loaded up on railcars, and shipped to France.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Considering that most individual vintage Bugatti’s sell between $350,000 and
$30,000,000 USD today, the Shakespeare Bugatti deal could certainly be
considered the used-car sale of the century!</span></span><!--EndFragment-->

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Few races in the world were as difficult and dangerous as the Mille Miglia.<br /> <br /> The race took place on public roads through Italy, starting in the northern town of Brescia, where it weaved it’s way down the western coast to Rome, crossed over to and up the eastern coast to finish again in Brescia.<br /> <br /> It ran non-stop over the length of the day, and for 1956, totalled 992.332 miles (1597 kms) in full distance.<br /> <br /> Historically, other than a few exceptions, the race was mostly won in Alfa Romeo’s. Alfa Romeo’s rein on the race changed in 1948 when Ferrari finally won.<br /> <br /> By 1956, there were no less than 5 Scuderia Ferraris in the race, and not surprisingly, they took the top 5 positions!<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVi3DaD1F6mXD1cy1RTZv9BlbCE5mwV4_YDZxvg5PhNQamFZywgxygZVUtiCxciBqtphWrH48o6LAdGj09SejLjck1lzhDVvfaOQXOUnNiotwm673dFbDhr5mlGghCW7JVHI75FaWfQELx/s1600/Mille+Miglia+1956.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVi3DaD1F6mXD1cy1RTZv9BlbCE5mwV4_YDZxvg5PhNQamFZywgxygZVUtiCxciBqtphWrH48o6LAdGj09SejLjck1lzhDVvfaOQXOUnNiotwm673dFbDhr5mlGghCW7JVHI75FaWfQELx/s400/Mille+Miglia+1956.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Art should, in my mind, challenge, educate and inspire the viewer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />As an automotive artist/historian, it’s also important to me that my art tell a story. I try to challenge myself and the viewer by trying different medium to tell that story.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <br /> The chosen medium for an art-piece is influenced by many variables; my location, my mood, the story to be told, how that story might have been told in the past, and how it can be retold differently.<br /> <br /> One of the mediums that I sometimes choose is creating the art on a specific colour of paper. For example, I did the <b>1969 Matra</b> with <b>Sir Jackie Stewart</b> driving, which is done on blue paper.<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVFBvwBJITjfUM5k3jbQ9smsCv4UoQdwDymtlJ6ZKYfWVOo8mYcpv1BVl6ZfaypwoNGEb5zMAnbjr-xl0FMzRYv2NKBsI8i9uEasDJSpioGwJ_jYfHKuEidUl14rmAN5CQlyqpnWf9KC3j/s1600/Stewart+Matra+1969+%25231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVFBvwBJITjfUM5k3jbQ9smsCv4UoQdwDymtlJ6ZKYfWVOo8mYcpv1BVl6ZfaypwoNGEb5zMAnbjr-xl0FMzRYv2NKBsI8i9uEasDJSpioGwJ_jYfHKuEidUl14rmAN5CQlyqpnWf9KC3j/s400/Stewart+Matra+1969+%25231.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />

The mind re-interprets the colour!<br /> <br /> I’ve also create laser-cut stainless steel illustrations, in this case, the <b>1959 Le Mans-winning Aston Martin DBR1</b>, where the black part of an original pen & ink artwork is laser-cut clear out of a sheet of stainless steel, then painted the main subject colour (green).</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxrKfAsECMKDqxyWZo7dlMRAuMwZDXRnfwSW0l4pfTDzg7mPvYmpkfSDb2EO8JYDI1jcqw_vRxE_Tp0xGyv9jLIO2NYeFI7A92_TyJpsnj_Zn9G8BgqvaN29se3k3JH_3XtI8_Qnp3PGCr/s1600/DBR1+A+-+closed+hood_VP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxrKfAsECMKDqxyWZo7dlMRAuMwZDXRnfwSW0l4pfTDzg7mPvYmpkfSDb2EO8JYDI1jcqw_vRxE_Tp0xGyv9jLIO2NYeFI7A92_TyJpsnj_Zn9G8BgqvaN29se3k3JH_3XtI8_Qnp3PGCr/s400/DBR1+A+-+closed+hood_VP.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />I have black-painted sheet metal behind the illustration coloured sheet metal, and paint the highlights and secondary colours on the green illustration sheet metal. It all hides the fact there is no black in the art, but it is actually cut out metal.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXfAhfXzV9UgbTCQD6UAI9SKpumm3jRSBNjWQw_khSST75kujTuovGk2PdynT5Qosrbr5PKJ8j8jeTTmEOuwrLAtWhLHz5Sdf5UbupflvEH26SMg89MvuDkFm7OGMqCjrmVWPSLdKW6L1T/s1600/DBR1+B+-+open+hood_VP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXfAhfXzV9UgbTCQD6UAI9SKpumm3jRSBNjWQw_khSST75kujTuovGk2PdynT5Qosrbr5PKJ8j8jeTTmEOuwrLAtWhLHz5Sdf5UbupflvEH26SMg89MvuDkFm7OGMqCjrmVWPSLdKW6L1T/s400/DBR1+B+-+open+hood_VP.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Using the same kind of laser cutting, I added another layer of information in the illustration but doing laser-cut art of the engine, hidden behind the bonnet. It makes for a nice surprise for the viewer!<br /> <br /> Most recently, I’ve been playing with the idea that a bunch of abstract colour blocks become a recognizable image as you step further away for the art-piece, which featured the <b>1966 12 Hours of Sebring-winning GT40 MKII X1</b>.<br /> <br /> For this artwork, I choose the use coloured paper, which I match as closely to the original image as possible, then trim out and glue down on the 3000 + rectangle grid that I’ve created to build the art.<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMI1NpqriS2bxMrOwjncj_55IDfEJsJ1lDHNg9UCAk9Css-pUNQEY91u1TsmzDHzCcYdAb0bWMoVf0OKFglOszaDdQnhyTpERQy0vNxjV7ydkt4GFlqsiDuJbLESyZxsuNKgTyIRUoGU10/s1600/Sebring+1966+GT40_Paper+Bits+%25231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMI1NpqriS2bxMrOwjncj_55IDfEJsJ1lDHNg9UCAk9Css-pUNQEY91u1TsmzDHzCcYdAb0bWMoVf0OKFglOszaDdQnhyTpERQy0vNxjV7ydkt4GFlqsiDuJbLESyZxsuNKgTyIRUoGU10/s400/Sebring+1966+GT40_Paper+Bits+%25231.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /> <br /> Though it was very tedious to work on, the final result is very surprising. As a test, I blurred the photo of the art using Photoshop, and it looks like an original photo was used!<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHAX4hVjZsSnkAvr6LhWDqLRjTQcI821a16KMNpN80GQWNcOhad72cll0bfTi_s8Ym-r9AX0ynYcsRJjHWuq9kZA7mqTfVUrjzGBzoJc1DnevKOGlb-f5UOI4jEYOinwMzyKBhkx_3VKdi/s1600/Sebring+1966+GT40_Paper+Bits+%25232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHAX4hVjZsSnkAvr6LhWDqLRjTQcI821a16KMNpN80GQWNcOhad72cll0bfTi_s8Ym-r9AX0ynYcsRJjHWuq9kZA7mqTfVUrjzGBzoJc1DnevKOGlb-f5UOI4jEYOinwMzyKBhkx_3VKdi/s400/Sebring+1966+GT40_Paper+Bits+%25232.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /> <br /> Interesting, the final art seems full of action, which is possible caused in part by the “vibration” that happens when certain colours are put side by side.<br /> <br /> I think as an artist, one mustn’t stay in the same medium or technique and get “comfortable”; the artist should always push themself into new territory, and constantly explore.<br /> <br /> This helps keep their art fresh and challenging.</span></div>

Still wanting to self-publish (to maintain aesthetic control), I chose the go through <b>Blurb </b>books for all the book/magazine/catalogue options available to the writer/designer/artist.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This past Summer, I travelled to the United Kingdom and Belgium to attend events and sketch what I found interesting.<br /><br /> I’ve been working at refining the idea of “live” sketching, where I sketch an interesting motorized vehicle on-the-spot, no matter what the context or situation.<br /> <br /> The most interesting aspect of it is the not-knowing what will happen next, and be able to adapt to any changes, whatever they may be. <br /> <br /> There are always spectators who have questions, or who want to chat, which I very much appreciate; it’s comforting as an artist to have so many people interested in what you do. There are also the professional photo-journalists who look for that different image to make their story-telling more unique.<br /> <br /> There are the changing weather conditions (especially in the UK and Belgium!); wind, rain, the movement of the sun … they all impact the final result.<br /> <br /> Other things that impact the art, or more accurately, the artist, are the noises of racing engines being tuned, exhaust fumes that burn the eyes, flames coming out the exhaust pipes, or even the race car being moved.<br /> <br /> Finally, there is the time crunch of trying to get 2 artworks done in one day, for which I don’t always have much control over.<br /> <br /> Sometimes the car is racing within the 2 hours, so there is a minimum amount of the art-piece that needs to be finished. For a land speed record car at the Brooklands Reunion, I had to reset up 3 or 4 times to get the artwork finally finished.<br /> <br /> Below are the 16 artworks that I created at these 5 events … my summer “Vacation” …<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Silverstone Classic<br /></span></b></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXCxpIiRMmMsLjm3k6cROrL2M8uI1mK5yx2n93ZGlIAvTFusm7wMjmdEN6NhOER5pjLLP7bRyHbaMVMZ3IR-F_vuht7XbhV7HnWh1O3Jj6bjg8OgKzX5SEk_VaGGtvmZpPg-uo9jt6N0fR/s1600/1924+Le+Mans+3+litre+Bentley.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXCxpIiRMmMsLjm3k6cROrL2M8uI1mK5yx2n93ZGlIAvTFusm7wMjmdEN6NhOER5pjLLP7bRyHbaMVMZ3IR-F_vuht7XbhV7HnWh1O3Jj6bjg8OgKzX5SEk_VaGGtvmZpPg-uo9jt6N0fR/s200/1924+Le+Mans+3+litre+Bentley.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_FFkkDQu1t4rbTd8ES02ebA71Y1YNM5ybiOXcxLD4WnAEL1rfPoxog8lAo3Zo2ccj_AsaPQil6DVTZcFg8AKRukVqW0va2OKeEPLnD4LB-puTsJ44JCZsnAp4x25ml2aip-8P7TaLqncG/s1600/1977+Shadow+DN8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="145" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_FFkkDQu1t4rbTd8ES02ebA71Y1YNM5ybiOXcxLD4WnAEL1rfPoxog8lAo3Zo2ccj_AsaPQil6DVTZcFg8AKRukVqW0va2OKeEPLnD4LB-puTsJ44JCZsnAp4x25ml2aip-8P7TaLqncG/s200/1977+Shadow+DN8.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
