History Of Hot Rodding - Water Colour Artwork

Water Colour Viking History Of Hot Rodding - NORSE POWER

Dave deal in the early 1980s contributed a comic to Car-toons magazine on The History Of Hot Rodding, from the Roman till Modern times.  He rarely contributed comics, more usually doing cover artwork, and this particular comic was more illustrations with text, than an actual comic.

I really like the history idea and tried a few History of Cool Stuff Videos on our Youtube channel, and have come back to do a few one off water colour works on the idea now.  This is the first on the Vikings contributions to the art form.

Showing our version of a Cartoon Viking Dragon boat, with the addition of a Supercharged Hemi V8 instead of sails. A main point of the work is the wonderful water that can be achieved with water colours.

Ed Roth and the Beatnik Bandit

And don't forget Ed "BIG DADDY" Roth and his Beatnik Bandit. This guy  invented the show car custom and t-shirt car art! What isn't there to love?!

We usually do commercial Digital/Vector Illustrations for sign-age, websites and business use but one off illustrations in traditional media have their uses too.
