Automotive Art

[J-Groove]

Working on a new Modern Vector product line. Tiffany and I will be making canvass print designs for sale on Etsy.

Hopefully they will start launch in a week or so.

The automotive prints will be individually signed and numbered and sold in limited quantities, the other big seller prints such as family rules, lake house, ranch, bars etc. will not be limited.

Many of the designs will be semi customizable.

Do y'all think this is something you would be interested in?

We are going to offer then in two ways, rolled canvas that you can frame or stretch yourself, or pre stretched canvas art. HUGE price difference between the two, in shipping alone. haha

Here is my proof of concept one.

I have a number of friends who go to the big races and take amazing pictures. I'm working on a percentage to pay my friends for use of their photos as my inspiration.

noice!

That is sick! Nice work.

Thanks, I came up with the idea last week and started running numbers and researching it, then I designed the proof of concept GT40 yesterday.

The automotive side probably won't sell that well, but I will have a blast making them. The home rules items will be the bigger sellers.

Id be interested in a motorcycle/auto version at some point.

I'd love something like this for my place. Besides semi-customizable designs, are you planning on incorporating a lineup of different cars?

I really like that!
Looking forward to seeing more.

The only bike I'm currently planning is a '41 Indian Chief. I will be doing more, but not at launch.

Yup, there will be a number of different platforms available. Each design will be limited to 100 signed prints. So, for example the GT40 one above, there will be only 100 made. After that, if there is a demand I will do a new GT40 design.

Thanks! Me too, hopefully I can work on some this Sunday.

It is a great site that is gaining in popularity. Modern Vector right now sells around $200 a week on Etsy, hopefully this new product line will do well. We sell a lot on eBay, but with these prints being semi custom with a couple week turnaround time we cannot sell them on eBay.

That sounds good John. I like this design, but I'm definitely interested to see what else you come up with.

[fullracegt]

this is so awesome.

Just wrapped up another design, this one took me a while. So many cars to draw!

The inspiration came from that Ultimate Drag Race video that Motor Trend did. I added in a few other cars. :)

These should be launching by the end of this week for purchase. There will be only a handful available at launch with more designs continuing to pop up as long as the concept remains profitable.

Also working on a quality card stock print version at a significantly lower price compared to the canvas prints.
