Corvette and Chapparal Cutaway Goodness!

For fans of cut-a-way drawings, there is an awesome thread available at Autosport.com. Check the Nostalgia forum and you'll find gems like these:

The artists that create these must be mad men. We have seen this since we were babys, but the details are so increidble. Well done, my friends, well done.

The sig on both is David Kimble who is amazing. Back in the early nineties I attended an airbush seminar in New Orleans. There were different tracks covering diciplines like fine art, t-shirts, signs and pinstriping, and technical illustration. David was teaching the technical illustration and the whole week the class worked on their drawings. By the end of the week they had all made it though about one wheel. That was it. Crazy concentration skills.

I know a local guy in the used car business who has a full sized poster of that #66 on the wall of his office. I covent it so badly, but I haven't been able to cajole him out of it for love nor money.

Thanks for that link, Ian. My buddy's really gonna be ticked when I show up with a new one!

David Kimble... Road and Track had a feature on him a few years back. He's a genius, incredible work.

Mapper, I am dead jealous. What an experience that class would have been.

Here's one for aero fans:

So happens I have the Dave Freidman book on the Petroleum Museum site...he has also done Cobra and Ford GT as well as Indy cars of the '60s.

That was back when I was going to make a living as an artist. That didn't work out so well but I met a lot of cool people and don't regret any of it except not being a good enough business person to make it work. I have since learned to love the cubicle.

I've always wanted to fly one of those, it must have been truly something. ALL that MOTOR and almost no wing.
