As i was watching the film “Senna” yesterday, i took a few photos of the big screen with my silly little mobile phone. 2 of those photos came out quite interesting….they almost look like paintings. These, of course, have no effects put on them. They are simply attempted photos taken with a rubbish camera.

This was the special edition Lamborghini Jarama GT modified by Bob Wallace in 1972:

Xander Walker (http://strassenversion.blogspot.com) is someone I have known for a while through The Auto Union community. A few weeks ago, a bunch of us met up for a dinner in Manhattan, and Xander introduced us to his fantastic artwork. I was blown away by the uniqueness and individualistic style of these paintings; and I can firmly say that they are WELL worth the humble $15 to $30 asking price he has put up for the pieces. Each one is hand signed, and perfect for framing. Speaking of which, I need to find time to get to a framing shop to buy a suitable frame for the 2 paintings I own by him. Each painting is hand finished and limited edition. Each piece is 24 x 17″ and packaged well!
In addition to the Alpine A110 pictured above (which obviously i DO have!!), here are some others available from Xander’s Etsy store:

Thanks to Motorsport Retro for turning me on to this artist, Nicolas Cancelier. Some great stuff going on here, I especially love the colours he is using to capture the time of these cars. Very cool. These are available for purchase as large, high quality prints as well. Please inquire with Nicolas directly through the links provided.

in honor of the recently auctioned and record setting $30 million BUGATTI TYPE 57SC ATLANTIC (Atlantique) which was owned by the late car collector and neurologist Dr. Peter Williamson
I met Dr. Williamson once, and he showed me around his Bugatti Type 35B. He was a gentleman and a good guy. Sad to see his Bugatti collection now being parted out after his death…
i’m not sure who the artist of this great piece is…
one of my favourite automobile artists, Rob Ijbema…..painting a very cool car. Lancia Beta Monte Carlo.

We love books about cars! This one looks fantastic. Sven Voelker has created a book outlining over 100 different race cars, outlining and dissecting the racing livery, graphics, and appearance and its impact on the car. Looks like a beautiful book, and definitely one to check out!

Rohit Sharma makes some cool artwork. Based out of New Delhi, his paintings capture the essence of city living in India. I really dig his vintage car paintings. (makes for good wallpaper too!) Check out the other variations on his website:
