Want your classic beauty immortalized as art? Here’s how it works.

Your vehicle is the the inspiration. You will need to provide me with the image of your car, truck, bike, or mechanized vehicle. I will accept digital or printed images, but keep in mind printed images will eventually be cut and worked into the piece. If you don’t want the photo cut or glued, send a reproduction. It is important that the image is clear and little else is obstructing the view of the vehicle. My preference is that there be no people in the photo. To reiterate, the images will be cut so only provide media you don’t need returned.

The photo you provide determines the overall size of the collage. If you want a little piece, provide a little photo. If you want a big honkin’ sucker, provide a larger image. Its OK to specify that you’d like a larger collage with a small car image. (See '51 Frazer as a reference.) But on average, the image of the car will dictate the size of the piece.

In addition to your vehicle, I use images that are funny and kitsch (like juke boxes, 50’s TVs, Johnny Cash’s guitar, the Eiffel Tower, piggy banks, etc.) because why take things so seriously? They’re supposed to be fun and weird. More and more I’ve been finding that I have a tendency to slip dirty and suggestive things into the collages. If you’re very straight-laced, better let me know so that you are not offended by the finished piece.

With the exception of the image of your vehicle, I only work with commercially printed images (from magazines, newspapers, junk mail, etc.) Finding cars or images on the web has no element of surprise or randomness. Part of the fun in these collages is finding the pieces and parts and not having any control over what I find. However, you may have a passion for something which you’d like featured in the collage. For example, you may love golf and would like a golf element worked in with your fabulous ride. In these instances I may need to break my rules and find coordinating elements on the web. However, I will try my best not to have to do this.

For more details on the commission process, please contact me. The base price for the commission process is $150. Pricing will increase depending on detail, size, turn-around time, etc. I can provide a more accurate quote once we have a conversation and some details are discussed.

Your beauty should be art, shouldn’t it?
