More Awesome Car Art!

Xander Walker is the Shep Fairey of the motorway, and the Lewis Hamilton of the gallery.... and you can buy his work on Etsy (which is a great site in it's own right).  Plus, each of these unique hand painted (with a stencil), signed pieces is only $25.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/strassenversion?ref=pr_shop_more

My Awesome Endtable

Another for sharing is caring: My awesome endtable.  

My friend Alex and I frequented a local bar with the coolest tables around.  These tables were some sort of clear plastic (which we later learned was polyesther based) with different things encased within this plastic, be it wolverine toys, star wars, pogs, money & drugs... each one is different.  As car guys we figured we'd try our hands at something similar.  This was the product.

The base was a brake rotor, the height comes from a Ford camshaft, some metal bits that look like pushrods (not really pushrods though) coupled to pistons.  The pistons were embedded in some of this poly that we totally ripped off the idea for.  

I say was when talking about the table, because with our shoddy welding skills the base eventually broke since apparently camshafts are brakes were never meant to be joined in automotive furniture-art.

Awesome Illustration of Land Speed Record Vehicles

I am certainly an art lover, especially that of the tasteful automotive variety... I damned near cried when the run of $80 signed/numbered Camilo Pardo prints sold out before I could get my hands on one.

...but I digress.  A very talented illustrator named Stefan Marjoram made a brilliantly illustrated history of land speed record vehicles which you can enjoy here: http://stefanmarjoram.com/art.htm

Take a look at his photos too, which are equally brilliant as his illustration work.
