Metal Art: Ferrari GTO

Art designed in Adobe Illustrator. A friend in the states has a plasma cutter that can read the file and cut the image. After finishing the surface he constructs a frame to which it is attached. He ships it back to me and I assemble the abstract canvas background. A Ferrari Sharknose is already uploaded earlier.
The first pic is the Adobe Illustrator file... A graphic representation that stands on its own. The trick to these is not having any bits of soon-to-be-cut-metal defy laws of gravity and end up floating in midair. Everything has to attach somehow. Can be tricky when dealing with details the car is known for and has to be in certain positions. Sometimes some creative solutions have to occur...
The second pic is the metal version with a canvas background. Been thinking of redoing this one with one reminiscent of the Sharknose. Solid red with a bit a colour swiped through it.

My second painting from the Exotics in Yorkville car show back in July. A great event with the Ferrari and Porsche clubs. And a great turnout! Hope it returns next year.
Altered quite a bit... got rid of those ugly barriers and safety cones; changed the 360 spider from red to yellow and a myriad of other details.

A rendering of the air intake on the Mondial. The 4-seater Ferrari of the late 70s and 80s. It went thru a change of size and shape over the years but is a symbol of the peppy "family Ferrari".

A shot taken at a recent Ontario DeLorean Owners Club meet. The time machine from Back to the Future draws smiles from children and adults alike. A true icon of pop culture.
This shot i felt embodies the magnetism that this vehicle - an amazing recreation of the Time Machine by a die hard fan - has on people.

A little experimenting with Adobe Illustrator again. Trying to use the minimalist approach and just pick the large basic forms with only the necessary details...
something a tad different from me... but i like experimenting with new ideas.

New Work: Open Doors DMC
Photoshop
A work using a shot of a friend's DMC-12 DeLorean.
Variety of filters, primarily Posterization. And alot of touching up.
I wanted a square composition from the start. And something unusual that featured the doors. So cropped out most of the car, finding an angle that still showed the logo and had the doors up. Found one that fit the bill and lent itself well to the idea.
Enjoy!
