    Default Frank Lockharts Land Speed Record Attempt

    Frank Lockhart attempted to break the world speed record on April 25, 1928 in his Stutz Black Hawk Special. The attempt ended in his death. This illustration tries to show that attempt. This wasn't a highly detailed illustration but was fun to do. The car is 100% vector with the background a mix of vector and raster.

    Now I like this Gray. I'm not trying to analize the perspective on this one, it just looks good.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Thanks Bill, for your nice comment.

    Larry thanks, and analyze away my friend, it wouldn't be the first time I've screwed up the perspective and I guarantee it won't be the last.
    The photo I used for inspiration is below.

    You've captured the idea of speed without using go-faster stripes or anything! I'm full of admiration for your art, Gray and once again you have excelled.
    Saludos,
