Sunday Sketches: Land Rover Series 1 in the Desert

09/12/2026

After numerous explorations of the Porsche crest in the positive, I have tried reversing it out of the ink, rather than painting the crest itself. It was an interesting exercise, though a lot more work…

I have a couple more in the queue. As well as Jaguar, Mercedes, OSCA, Siata and more. This brand exploration really is a lot of fun…

New original art for a one-night-only limited edition tshirt with my friends Avants!

This post combines three things that I love. History, art, and storytelling.

In this series of 3 unique posters for a client, I get to tell the story of an incredible independent racing career, with cars of incredible lineage, and some wins along the way. It was at the peak golden age of sports car racing in America, so I was able to recreate, illustrate, and design with some wonderful typography and elements to tell this family’s story.

MG played an incredible role in the development and global adoption of the sports car, even paving the way in the USA for the acceptance of the Porsche 356. To celebrate that history, I've designed a brand new collection of shirts, up cycling and repurposing a variety of period advertising illustrations, headlines, taglines, and typography.

Here's to a 100 years since the founding of Morris Garages Ltd!

I just dropped four new holiday designs for the Porsche-passionate. All printing in-house next week. This is “Joy of Driving” featuring the steering wheels of the 356, 930, and 901.

Check it out in the shop, and explore all of the new designs.

Here’s the first of several new designs for the holidays this year, and the first ever holiday design to print in-house at the new Carpe Viam print shop.

My original concept for the design was simply an enormous tree being hauled on a transporter, which would be novel enough. But as I sketched, I fell in love with the idea of the tree being hauled by the iconic Le Mans-winning Porsche SL, which is in turn, being hauled by a Dove blue transporter.

Look closely and you’ll even see the silhouette of one “Mr. Claus” behind the wheel handling the delivery of this epic combo of holiday cheer from Stuttgart (and Gmünd).

“Lineage RS" is the third in my new "LINEAGE" series. An on-going series, the initial four pieces include the 550 Spyder, 356A Speedster, 904 GTS, and the 1973 911 RS. These 22x22" originals stand beautifully alone, and will make a stunning grouping for the single collector who has already claimed them. Prints will be available beginning next week in original size or a smaller 12x12" format.

All pieces are illustrated with hand-pulled ink lines using an antique dip pen on fine heavy-weight cotton paper with natural deckled edge top and bottom.
