auto portraits

Here's how it works
 

Growing up in California, it was only natural that I was deeply into the car culture: Customs, hot rods, Concours d'Elegance, motorcycles, speed, auto design. In fact, out of high school I was accepted at Art Center Design College in Los Angeles, at that time, the source of the best car designers in Detroit....What? Wait a minute, leave California for Detroit? I didn't care if Motown was there, that wasn't going to work! So while I changed majors, I've kept my love of cars: being around them, owning them, and...in later years, painting them on canvas, illustration board, walls, murals, airbrushing them on t-shirts and other vehicles and even overseeing build-projects like the PT Cruisers and the McColl's Dairy Model A Ice Cream Truck below! If you've got a fairly good photo of your treasured ride - past or present - I can turn it into a work of art at a price and technique for every budget. Contact me at garystamper@yahoo.com
