You Can Own It: Beebe & Mulligan

Here's a piece I had started a few weeks back. As you can see, it's the actual BEEBE & MULLIGAN car (or should I say my attempt anyway?). I drew this piece with ink, colored pencil and some paint. The actual image size is 4 X 10"ish".

Though not my finest work in my opinion, it does seem to be a favorite of mine just to look at. Probably the odd perspective.

This one started out as a really small photo in a magazine of only the rear of the car in the perspective you see here. There was no cowl in the shot, which explains the foreshortened FIGHTING IRISH logo art. I suppose I could rip it apart all night, but I'm an artist and that's what we do to ourselves.

Hope you enjoy it!
