No Spotter Required

Another nostalgic scene depicting a classic GMC Astro 95. The driver has skillfully backed it into the depot bay during an era when trucking was an attractive career where it was as much about the aesthetic appeal of the "Rig" as it was about the freedom of the road. Markers, colored pencils and watercolor dye on Strathmore paper.  12.5” x 10”

GMC Astro 95

This will be another nostalgia piece featuring a GMC Astro 95 parked at a depot in the early 70's. I love the bygone cabovers from the golden era of trucking. I plan to do this one with markers and coloured pencils. 12.5" x 10"

The Gales of November

On November 10th, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank on Lake Superior.  All 29 crewmen were lost and the event was immortalized in song by the legendary Gordon Lightfoot. I plan on doing a color version.  RIP to the crew and to Gordon!
