...ever think about setting up an online payment system?
Yep. For now, just go to the Mustang Project site:
www.mustangproject.com

If they're not on that site yet, I know they're in his catalog (that you can downlload from the site). I believe he's adding them to the site in a matter of days. Mustang Project of course accepts credit cards and PayPal. I'm sure I'll set myself up for both when time and budget allow.

Oh, and Randy - they're printed on acid-free watercolor paper. The image size is 20" x 16" with a couple inches of white beyond that for framing purposes.

hahah what the!? That site is awesome Glen.

Think this pic would be enough argument against all the treehuggers that combustion engine vehicles can be "one with nature" too? lol

Dan,

I only wish I could be half that talented. Your themes really strike home for an old country boy. I will certainly be purchasing a print shortly, but I was wondering if the originals ever come up for sale or not?

Guys, thank you so much for all the kind words. They mean a great deal!

No originals will be for sale because these are digital compositions. I've been a graphic designer for so long that I've collected quite an extensive "morgue" of reference material. Like I say in the "About" page of the site, I've been photographing abandoned old cars for many years, but never had a plan for them. They just seem kind of artistic to me! So I scan in these old photos and match them to outdoor scenes then drop in long-lost family members (from old black & white photos). I compose everything in the computer then sketch and paint different parts by hand and scan those in as well. I meld the hand-made pieces with the photographic pieces and give them a painterly effect that's kind of oil-like and kind of watercolor, all outlined by pencil. The process actually takes a lot longer than simply painting a straight watercolor would, but I like the unique effect so much, it's worth it to me! The end result is truly a combination of old fashioned hand-drawn fine art with cutting edge computer illustration.

This also eliminates the need for the printer to scan in an anctual painting and risk loosing details. My work goes straight from my harddrive to the printer.

Looks like nature is winning here.

Some awesome work there!

I've never seen an entire site done in images and no text. Unique concept but must be hell for search engines unless you have alt tags!

Do you do any other work as a graphic artist?

Since 1988 I've done just about everything that fits under the umbrella of graphic design. In other words, I'm kinda burned out! I still do a few things here and there (like the Mustang Project ads that have been in Mustang Monthly and Mustang&Fords for a couple years now). Basically it's the deadlines I grew so tired of. I'm happy to take on graphics work if you don't need it yesterday![:@]
