Offering custom artistic rendering services for your vehicle!

Here is an example of my cooper S done digitally high res in a watercolor b/w style. Very simple and sketch like. Maybe a few hours of work.

I have many other examples to show. but basically I'd love to get some custom artwork done for some mini coopers. It would really bolster my portfolio and help me save towards expensive MINI parts ;D

Please note for details. I can't wait to work with you!

I can work at extremely high resolutions. I can even draw graphics big enough to fit one of the walls in your garage!


This is the ultimate collectible, because these paintings are going to be ONE of a kind!

Impressive work ! Some mad skills you have there !

Can you give us a ballpark figure for how much your works go for ? Not the garage wall size work, but just a typical size.... maybe 18" x 24" or similar ?

50 for sketch
100 for monochrome black/white watercolor
200-300 for basic color/shadow
400-500 for Realism

All prices are ballpark figures. You're experience may vary depending on the complexity of the work!

Thank you... considering the time and talent involved, that seems quite reasonable. Going to subscribe to your thread so I can contact you if I decide to commission you for a piece of art.

Do you work from photos, or do "sittings" have to be "in the flesh"?

Unfortunately I can never afford to go do any of those things live. Doing paintings without photograph is time consuming anyways and I need the car to sit still and unfortunately sun goes up and down so color temperatures are constantly changing.

Lots of x-factors I cannot control when doing live work.


Also if I was at that event, I'd be driving and having fun.. not working. I'd might do a few sketches but I'd do them for free if I was at an event.

I prefer to work from home.
