Overdosed

Here is an idea I had about a month ago for a drawing for a mate's car. It's his VL Turbo and I thought the title would be a good license plate for it. I also thought it'd be fun to draw it in this type of style, as it's usually reserved for hot rod illustrations.

I did this illustration for a friend of mine who owns his own custom car shop. He asked for a drawing of his own car, a Ford Pickup. I completed the image in Illustrator, using mainly the pen tool. Overall, the client was very happy with the final outcome. 

Introduction

Hi, my name is Robert.

I'm an illustrator/graphic designer from Melbourne, Australia, trying to break into the scene. This blog will document my journey there. I mainly draw cars, and I'm heavily inspired by the hot rod scene. I also drive a custom XP Falcon.

I'm also the guitarist in my own band, Push to Twist. My favourite genres are rockabilly, psychobilly, rock and roll, metal and glam. My favourite bands include Mourning Tide, KISS, MetallicA, Misfits, Electrik Dynamite, L.U.S.T, Stray Cats and Steel Dragon.

I gather my inspirations mainly from American comics, like Batman, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, KISS Kompendium and various other publications. I enjoy illustrators such as Max Grundy, Nate Holmes Trapnell, Joe Whyte and Jirat James Patradoon.
