John does some truly awesome work. He has a retro style that I really like. In addition to his really cool illustrations, his background includes broadcast, film as well as multimedia. Check it out.

Messerschmitt KR200 Poster

This is a poster that I fell in love with when I first saw it several years ago. I always wanted to see it in my style of illustration and so I did it. I've also got merchandise with this image on it. Check it out.

Volugrafo Bimbo

It's one of those names that makes you think "how could anyone name a car THAT?" Well, the car was manufactured by Claudio Belmondo in Italy in 1945. He had previously built a lightweight scooter for the army called the Volugrafo. So, when he came out with his little car, his "baby", he called it that, in Italian..."Bimbo".
It was a VERY small microcar, seated two, and was powered on only one of the rear wheels by a 125cc motorcycle engine. Thanks to an aluminum body, it weighed in at just 275lbs!
So this illustration is my tribute to a car hardly anyone has ever heard of, much less seen.
The Volugrafo Bimbo.

Boogerballs Tg500 Messerschmitt microcar

I just finished an illustration of the Messerschmitt microcar flagship model, the Tg500 Tiger. The Tg500 is the four-wheel variant of the Messerschmitt produced by FMR (Fahrzeug und Maschinenbau Regensburg). This is the company that was founded by Fritz Fend after the Messerschmitt company was allowed to manufacture airplanes again after WWII. Fritz had originally designed several cyclecar designs before his first commercial venture, the Fend Flitzer. I hope to do a couple of illustrations of the Flitzer soon.
