The 'Salt Shaker' '57


Internets - I don't remember if I put this one on or not. Got into drawing cars and chrome a few months ago. Charcoal is great for this. the perspective is a little off, but i think it's cool anyway. gives you the idea anyway. an unmistakable icon, the '57 Chevy.

There was something magic about the car models every year through the 50's and 60's. The models were unique every year and easily identified. American auto makers were at the peak of their craft it seemed. Nowadays you can't tell one car from another. That's a stretch, I know, but humor me. And besides, who am I kidding? I'm just yelling in the basement here. Nobody will read this, much less GAF.

This sketching stuff is much more satisfying than doing architecture. I don't get paid for it, but neither did I get paid as an architect - plus, I was liable for other people's mistakes (electrician, plumber, you name it). Good riddance. John Q. Public, you deserve every bit of it.
