I have been planning to do this for many years, and finally think I'm going to set it up.

My question to the group is, has anyone one ever had an artist do and oil or any other style of representation of there cars as an art peice.

...I can do color pencil. Mostly locomotives and aircraft so far & some cars, but only drawings... Oils and acrylics would likely be best for cars. I'll bet you would do very well. :)

If I was going to have someone do my car, the man would be Tim. I like his stuff very much and don't think you can get any better.

Just my opinion of course!!

I want to look into having a photo of my car blown up and put onto my snowboard. Not exactly art, but it will be pretty cool if it can be done.

I motion for Tim to be our guy to maybe take orders with provided pics, and offer at a profit of coarse some sort of artwork, for us. Please...

I will send photos first and will talk funds for services and see what he can do, I do believe it will be this would be good for us all.

My belief, is a picture of an old car one use to have on the wall is precived as holding on to the past, BUT a art piece is for ever and proud to have at one time.

Just my thoughts and I will put my cash where my typeing is.

Tim I will send you a pic if you send me a price...

...Thank you for your confidence, but please, let me experiment a little bit to make sure I could do the justice for your beautiful cars. As I mentioned before; oils and acrylics would be a better medium of which I'm not experienced. 'Tell you what; give me a month to do one & post it here & we'll see what you think. In the meantime - keep the door open for a "painter" should one be among us to fill the bill. It's too early yet to come up w/ a price however...

Sara - I believe we can put your picture on your snowboard as well as purses, charms, decorative tiles, signs & more. Contact Sharon at www.horsedesigns.com .

Yeah, Tim's a great drawer but, He doesn't really call himself an artist.. He's self taught, and been trying to teach me how to draw. Which I'm getting better at with practice..

I wanted him to draw a picture of my car - a 1998 Saturn SL2.. a nice car but, no CA special! He might take a while to come up with a drawing, He's one busy guy!!

Sara,
Did you mean to say sNowboard?
Or did you mean sHowboard for car shows?

Either would be cool
