!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! "Truck Yeah" post is pretty disappointing. There is a lot of LEGIT talent in the car art sphere, but that digital photo manipulation stuff isn't it, in my humble opinion.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Orlove featuring !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! was cool...he's a fantastic artist with a unique style and that painting rules...but how about featuring some rad auto artists that are legit gear heads too?

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Do something on Max Grundy, a guy that built one of the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , now drives this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and is currently building a '50 COE that'll be at SEMA '14(a little show that he also produced all the graphics for last year) :

Or Brian Stupski (aka !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! )... drives a Challenger, blogs for Dodge, does stuff like this:

Then there's !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ....ya know, the guy that did these(and he's got an old pick up, I think it's a Chevy):

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , the Pencil Specialist. (One of his sons has a S500 that he puts MTs on and drag races...another son is in to traditional hot rods, as is Ed)

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ...I don't think he drove anything built after '65 until he became a dad last year.

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! one of my local Detroit friends, also has a cool '49 Ford...

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Yeah, me.

I've got a '54 F100, a '09 Ram R/T, a '13 AWD S60, and a '70 Buick 225 drop top. Learned to weld working at Chrysler.

There's way more out there too(full disclosure, all the guys above are friends of mine and good people, minus the last jackass)...I'm just sayin'. A semi-regular feature on car art(no, not art cars) would be really cool. Just throwing it out there. I think it's a big part of the culture.

You have some awesome stuff. Great quality. Was Rat Fink an inspiration for you?

Thanks for this post, it is always a shame when real artists are ignored in favor of lazy hacks who talk a good game.

Also thanks for cluing me into Max Grundy, somehow I'd missed his stuff before.
