Garage Art ...

I found a company that does automobile oil paintings and I can send him any picture I like and he'll reproduce it in any size ...

I want to get 5 or 6 done for the garage size 4' X 6' ... what do you think of these choices and I'd LOVE recommendations ...

Personally, I don't think any would look good in a garage. I think you'd be better off w/ event posters and large metal signs. ALong w/ a more classic feel. Maybe even some car parts matted in shadow boxes and on the walls.


I've been collecting stuff for when I finally get a garage

SPIVY is infamous around these parts
I know a guy on FCHAT that can do great things in metal. Here is an example of a GTO. If people are interested we should have him come over and maybe make a run of porsche pieces.

I had one picture sent to him a week ago ... He told me delivered to my door in 3 weeks ... He puts a wax on top of the oil painting that allows it to be hung in the garage and protect it against dirt and grime ...

I highly suggest everyone waits until I get my first painting done so I can report quality back to you guys ...

Pretty impressive work however I do think that some pictures work better as photographs than paintings (ie. the GT3 or the Vanquish).
