SOCONY and the Pegasus
The Mobil Pegasus is iconic. But before it was the recognizable symbol of Mobil, it was the mark for SOCONY, and Magnolia Petroleum of Dallas as well (acquired in 1925). Today a neon lit Pegasus still sits on top of the Magnolia Building in downtown Dallas, and another – the original from 1934, sits across…

Classic Liveries
From Apple to Z. These are some of the best over the past 40 years. Featured on 4 Porsches, 2 BMWs, one Datsun, one Ford, one Volvo, and yes, on one wicked Lancia. Classic, and cool to draw and display.

JDM Series – BRE 240Z
An original JDM legend launched as the Fairlady Z in late 1969, the Brock Racing Enterprises (BRE) 240Z became an “instant” classic in 1970-1971. Running in the SSCA C production category, a season of firsts ended with a championship at Road Atlanta, and dominance through BRE’s run with Datsun through 1973. The studies below include…

Stripes
It’s all about the stripes. Some of the best liveries have simple lines and color combos that are both bold and distinctive. The very best you know without even seeing the car. Four of them are featured here in a series of new posters showcasing the Lotus Type 25, Porsche 917K, Porsche 911 ST, and…

Race Series 2 (and Lotus 25)
Inspired by the positive reaction to our French Grand Prix tribute poster, here are some new posters celebrating the 1963 British Grand Prix – and winning Lotus 25 (a new design!), 1970 24H Le Mans, 1973 24H Daytona, 1992 24H Nurburgring, and 2001 Petit Le Mans. A selection of these posters are available as fine…

Race Series
Vintage racing is showtime for the engineers, sponsors, teams, and of course the drivers. These two posters are recent late-night projects that incorporate some previous car designs into tributes to period race posters. The first, celebrating the 917K that looked great while getting a DNF at the 1971 race at SPA. And the second re-imagines…

Sport Quattro
The original AWD supercar. Super rare, and super light to meet the requirements of the Group B rally series. The street version used a 20-valve turbocharged 2.1-liter inline-5 making 302 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. This motor let the little-Audi-that-could hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, and race up mountains as well as city…

E30 M3 DTM
The E30 is timeless in its simple form and lack of high-tech gadgetry. Making 320 HP from its 2.3 L four in DTM (sport evo 2.5) trim, one can argue it’s the most successful BMW racer. It certainly looks great and was super fun to research and draw, especially in the FINA livery recreated in…

BMW M1
You know a Giugiaro design when you see it. The M1 is one of the best, even though as racers the cars were heavy and had limited success despite the CSL racing engine producing as much as 470 HP. The top design is part of a mini print series, and bottom poster was one of…

The Perfect Martini
Ah, Martini. The distinctive stripes make the cars instantly recognizable. While some Alfas in the 1960s were Martini sponsored, it was the 1971 sponsorship of the famed Porsche 917 that put Martini Racing on the map. Later the 935 in Martini livery would win the 1976 World Sportscar Championship. But there’s nothing like the 917K…
