I've been a fan of eyeballs since seeing the pinstripper Von Dutch. Part of the hot rod culture I grew up in.
Good looking cats eyes jonopen, and an awesome looking sketch handrawn.

Another old one. The Granville Brothers racer GeeBee, famous in the 30's.

Jonopen - You are most welcome.

A 21st century eyeball on the move. Love it.

A couple more oldies. I was experimenting mixing raster with vector to use the strengths of each graphic type. An old water bomber and a Norseman in RCAF colours. The Norseman is 100% vector with the background a mix of vector and raster. The water bomber is about 98% vector with the background a mix of both.

An oldie done in Corel Xara.

Nice, Mike. My first car was a 39 Ford Tudor, three of my good friends had 40 Ford coupes.

@gray,

My first car was a 39 Ford Tudor, three of my good friends had 40 Ford coupes.

Cool, I have a 38 ford coupe and a 23 "T"bucket which I putt around in and occasionally take to local car shows.

Lucky you, Mike. I owned a lot of old Fords back then. I had a 38 Deluxe tudor along the way as well. And you have a T bucket. I built an early T bucket about 50 years ago. I used a 343 AMC motor with 9" Ford rear end. I have an old friend that still has his 38 Ford standard tudor sitting in his garage. Hasn't run in about 45 years. Another old friend still has his 51 Ford convert and Caddie powered A roadster pickup from when he was 20. Do you have any pics of your cars I could see. I have no old cars myself now. The body doesn't like crawling around them anymore.

Thanks, Ron.
Speaking of old cars. Here's one of my favorite cars. A Ford Deuce roadster, powered by a flathead Ford with Ardun overhead conversion. The heads designed by Arkus Duntov of Corvette fame.
