Thanks Joe! Hey, need an art guy?...

Why would they need somebody to draw eyeballs?

He can always compromise, a lawyer by day, an internet-based automobile artist by night. Seriously, make a website showing off his work, and people will send photos of their cars that they want him to create drawings/paintings from.

Your boy has a talent there. He has stepped passed just drawing a picture and taken it to a place where his creations make things better than life but in a very subtle way that is very pleading to the eye. Another way to describe it I tgat the eye and the brain expect to see certain things. He puts those things in to his art. That is what makes them so good.

Are you saying that my car isn't as nice as he drew it?

He is missing his calling with the other stuff. He has serious skills

That's a great idea, and one that I will surely pass on to him.

If he's going into law enforcement, he may very well become the best police sketch guy ever.

Happy birthday.

In reply to Woody:

Well thanks.

You might notice that he didn't straighten up the poor panel and bumper alignment.

Wow he has serious skill and talent to draw that car like that. WOW

There's an African kid in Southern California who goes to all the car shows and sits there and draws a car he likes. Sometimes he will sell the drawing to the owner of the car and sometimes he wont. But, I've seen him at a lot of major events. And your son's drawing is actually way better than his.

I would like to see a Starion drawn from that same exact aspect!

In reply to yupididit:

Thanks!
And to be fair, Steve put a lot of time into this one. I'm not sure exactly how much time, but more than you could use at a car show.
