UPDATED: vintage concept sketches

My bad - it’s a sketch for the '72

YKH - that’s a really good question about the superbird… I’ll find out. That front nose does have a striking similarity, and they were done around the same time…

Allright this BARELY belongs on here, but this guys automotive cartoon style is so cool. Word has it he worked on the Pixar Cars movie coming out, but he’s also way old-school. He did some model kits for Revell in the 70s…

check out his site at www.bigdealart.com

I remember this guys stuff from the way back of Automobile and Car And Driver Magazine, a car cover company allways used Big Deal illustrations. Cool

Yeah, I got into him thru CARtoons magazine - a lot of great artists did work for them:

As I kid, I always drooled over the Science Fiction bookcovers of John C. Berkey. Of course I didn’t know his name until I stumbled upon a book of his work in the Library at my work.

The Giuargio Maserati is seductive.

Last weekend I saw an original pencil/gauche auto study by Loewy at a vintage modern furniture store in Philly. They were asking $5800… ouch. It looked like a 4-headlight version of the Avanti and to be completely honest, the drawing itself was pretty weak, and, the design was even worse.
