Blip Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hi, new guy here, but do I see some of my work drifting around in an avatar or two. I've been drawing CAR-toons for over 10 years focusing mostly on Ford vehicles. Here's a few of my Shelby toon images. This first one may cause a bit of pain for GT500 owners, but this could be a future "barn find." (Used a photo from a magazine called "Grassroots Motorsports" and replaced a photo of a 67 Mustang with a vector drawing.) What-if future Trans Am racer toons... And a few other Shelby toons...

kaylan1521 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Nice work and don't worry about the first one. That's how I envision mine looking the day I take a dirt nap and my kids finally get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyGT/SC Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 All I can say is WOW!<br /><br />These are awesome!<br /><br />I've loved your work since first seeing your SGT a few months ago. They are all amazing. Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />Now you need to tell us how to purchase prints or canvas' as well as pricing and availability.

rnoggle Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Is there a website where these can be ordered? I'd really like to get one of the black SGT to hang in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blip Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Wow, thanks for the kind words, some of the very first CAR-toons I doodled way back in the 60's were Shelby Mustangs so my hand feels very comfortable with all Mustang shapes. Unfortunately I don't have prints as my printing source got tangled in the Ford infringement mess (same source that another Mustang club used to print calendars). Still haven't my got the issue solved, (even though that club finally got the okay to print calendars), looking into other printing options. Also, I joined as an enthusiast, and maybe future owner of a Terlingua V6 coupe, not to sell artwork. My automotive/mechcanical skills are very limited so the way I can contribute to this forum is thru my rather warpped view of cars via my CAR-toons. Finally, I wouldn't consider offering toons for sale at this site unless I got an okay from Amy B. or other Team Shelby rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyb Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I love the artwork! it's very very cool, but I can not give any approval to "sell" interlectual property owned with ford. Its a larger issue that affects rights. More along the lines " if you do it for one, then all can do it". I think we might be able to do something though...creatively Let me think on this Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blip Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Thanks for all the welcomes. I've got so many toons ideas I want to draw, just got to work them inbetween commissioned projects. Amy, I'll get a pm to you with the details of were I've gotten with Ford. I'm ready for any ideas. Thanks for giving this some thought. There are plenty of artist selling prints with Ford vehicles, just got to find the right path for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
