This is the other BF Goodrich project that I was commissioned to do. Just like the first one I posted about earlier, the ad agency sent me sketches and I did the illustration work.
When I first started this project, the car you see in the “In The Shop” panel was shown with the wheel on.
Later, they wanted to see what the car would look like with the wheel off. After seeing both, they decided to go with the one with the wheel off.

The Rat Race, Drag Race project was a commission from an ad agency for their client, BF Goodrich. The artwork is to be used as a web advertisement.
The agency already had an idea of what they wanted and asked me to do the illustration work. The idea behind the ad is to show that the BF Goodrich tires are ready for the street and the strip.
I started with the Rat Race illustration and because the ad transitions from one panel to the other it was important to keep the positions of the elements exact. In order to do this I used a copy of the first illustration to make the second.
I didn’t get a chance to see the final ad, so I made this one to help give you an idea of how it is suppose to display.
I did this artwork some time ago and just forgot add to it to my site because of other rushes I was working on at the time. In fact, I have another BF Goodrich project to post after this one.
The winner wrapping up 2008 comes from Kansas City, MO. The artwork they picked to win is the 1966 Shelby Mustang.
The next winner chosen will be the first for 2009, will it be you? Enter today for your chance to win some horsepower for your walls!
Have you ever had something like this happen to you before?
I guess the worst for me was after clearing off all the windows, I wasn’t able to get the doors open.
I just finished this artwork of a Maserati Ghibli. I like the Ghibli because of it’s long low shape and it’s shark-like front end. Below is a quick video that will help give you an idea of what I am talking about.
The Maserati Ghibli was styled by Giorgetti Giugiaro and debuted in 1966 at the Turin Motor Show.
Under the hood Maserati used a detuned version of its quad-cam V8 racing engine. The engine used dry sump lubrication, which meant that the oil is held in a separate tank and pumped around the engine.
For more information about the Maserati Ghibli check out Wikipedia.
The Bosozoku car craze in Japan could best be described as a cross between an anime cartoon and an art car. While the modifications aren’t what you would consider performance enhancing they do come with a certain level of creativity. I came across this post “Video: Japan’s Bosozoku roll deep, phat, loud and weird” the other day. I looked around for more information and found this video. What do you think about the Bosozoku craze?
The winner of the free poster giveaway for November 2008 comes from Ontario, Canada. They chose to win the “1970 Chevelle SS“.
