Suppose for a moment that you're a new investor to racing and you have the change to design a whole new livery for a racing vehicle. Who would you choose to design this new livery?

Does it have to be a living person? I'm curious what any of the big Renaissance painters would do, especially if you don't teach them what a car actually is or show them any examples. Just give them the body and see what happens.

Probably *not* Jeff Koons:

Jackson Pollock!

Also, Andy Warhol's M1 was awesome.

In reality? Have someone I know do it. I know that's not the fun answer, but it's the most likely truth.

That's a good point! Not sure how Pollock would work, though, since his stuff loses all of its character if you make it completely 2D. The layers and textures need to be visible for the full effect.

Arik Roper or Frank Frazetta (who's dead but still). The murals they'd put on my car would put the GT300/500 cars to shame.

Frazetta's work:

Arik Roper's (1,000,000 Internet points to anyone who can name the album:

No, me too!

I was thinking maybe Frank Stella could design a cool livery, I'm a pretty big fan...but not digging the graph paper look:

This is Peter Max in 2000. I choose him because warhol is dead.

Piet Mondrian. A neoplastic livery would be epic.

A Saville design would be incredible to see as a BMW project.

Ha, I love that car. Looks like something out of an anime.

Whoever designed this I can't remember. It's a take on the classic Gulf livery that imitates the 'dawn to dusk' of the LeMans 24h.

It's beautiful.

Andy Blackmore. Why?

He came up with this:

And this:

He also seems like a nice guy. He puts out those amazing spotters guides as well for big races.

Vaughan Oliver. The man behind all that amazing 4AD album artwork like this:

I have no idea how his work/style would translate to a car, but I sure as hell would like him to take a stab at it.
