This is the stage where you choose a picture, and there are three ways to leave it: with one of the twenty-eight artworks already drawn, with your own car repainted from a photograph you took, or with that photograph printed as it is. Every page below walks its own pictures by what they're actually of, rather than putting the same grid under a different heading, which is what these pages used to be. Nothing here carries a real badge, a real livery or a real race number. That's a constraint we chose, not an oversight.
The reading, in order
- Which kind of car art you want
- Your car, repainted from a photograph
- Minimalist car art
- One line, and nowhere to hide
- Blueprint car art
- Art deco car art
- Vintage car posters
- Racing posters
- Grand prix art, and the licence question
- JDM and night drives
- Pixel art car prints
Or the photograph itself, printed as it is
Then the awkward bit
A picture you love at the wrong size is a picture in a cupboard. The wall covers how big it needs to be, what a frame adds, and which surface suits a mostly-dark image.
