Photography: Form and Function
Even at a glance, you know a 911 turbo, or e46 M3 or Lotus Seven when you see it. The wing, the bonnet bulge, the headlights and open wheels are all part of the visual brand. Captured in photos, these features draw us in, especially when shot in morning sun with stark shadows. Each showcases…

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.

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…

Pop Art Posters

Equally fun is reimagining famous liveries and playing with color combos. The first poster below features some famous Porsches – each a Grand Prix winner – in proper scale (yes the 804 and 917…

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 greatest M?
The E46 M3 is a legend. Almost perfect balance, a sublime high-revving motor, and a timeless design. Yes, the SMG-II was clunky, but at speed the E46 was so planted yet responsive. There were some great color choices as well, from classic Titanium Silver, to Laguna Seca Blue, and of course Phoenix Yellow. The middle…

Pop art inspirations
Some of the best motorsport designs are iconic. Brumos. Martini. Toad Hall. The Salzburg 917s and Gulf GT40s for sure, and of course the BMW DTM and art cars. Here are some recent artworks that honor these liveries and bring new interpretations with a nod to pop art inspirations.
