59' Cadillac Process and Install

Full process of the 59' Cadillac convertible painting and install for 3014. Shown are the beginning stages from line drawing, to block in, and finally the detailing and installation. I will let the images tell the rest of the story, and the piece really is at home at 3014, so for the lack of definition that the computer will allow, take some time and visit 3014, formerly Sengers on the Fax, new home of The Solution w DJ Low Key and Sound Supreme, and take in the 16 foot canvas with the sleek Cadillac that adorns the wall.

59 El Dorado Cadillac Biarritz Convertible

Beginning stages of a '59 Cadillac El Dorado Biarritz Convertible painting process. 5 hours of work shown here, I completely the majority of the block in with aerosol and acrylic. The next steps were to continue laying opaque acrylic and to construct the framing for a 16' x 5' canvas. More photos and the final install soon to come. I have always been a huge fan of Chip Foose and many other masters of the automotive design, and this project not only tested my ability to create realistic effects and control that they achieve with ease, but on a grand scale. I dont know that I would ever be able to pay homage to a vehicle the way that Foose or many others do, but I am putting my metal heart and soul into the piece and enjoying the progress thus far. Project began in September and is now completed, final photos to come.
