I have just finished adding the 1949 Cadillac Hood Ornament artwork to my site. In a few earlier posts, I showed you a line work example and then later a sample of the artwork just before sending off for a color proof. The finished artwork comes in a big 20″ x 20″ size.
This is a new color version of the custom TATA Nano I did earlier.
I posted the custom Nano artwork images in my Flickr account and someone commented that they were planning on buying one and was curious to see how the custom black/orange version would look in sunshine yellow instead of the orange. Sunshine yellow is one of the Nano’s factory colors.
In the majority of my artwork I use many different fades, so changing colors is not so easy. But on the Nano artwork I only used two fades to make up the orange, which made changing the colors easier.
That being the case, I did one up for them to see. What do you like best, the sunshine yellow version or the orange version?

As with every new artwork I do, the next step is to get a proof made so I can check the color.
I have been working on more new automotive artwork this week. The line work is about finished and now its time to add the color.
Any guesses on the make, model and year?

I have been working on this new hood ornament piece. The initial line work is finished, now I need to go back and do touch-ups before adding color.

Do you like vintage speed decals as much as I do? I came across this posting called “The logos of Speed & Power” by Ryan at JalopyJornal.com. In the posting Ryan laid out 69 of his favorite old logos.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. If you go to the bottom of the page and click “Comments on the H.A.M.B.” you will see even more logos posted by members of the H.A.M.B.
Whether you are an automotive artist or a graphic designer these logos are a great source of logo reference and inspiration.
If you know of any other places to see logos like these please add it in the comments or contact me.
