A friend of mine - knowing i liked cars, leant me a book on the three seminal car graphics artists of the fifties. Truely awesome stuff. I remember having a Revell model of a rat fink vehicle back in the sixties and the book brought back childhood memories. My mother (now 83) and deceased father were very keen surfers in their youth - something my 21 year old son finds quite alarming for some reason.. and i just love the mental image of them in a Van Dutch painted surf-bus...!  |

I work with people who were shocked to find out that 'records' were black and not silver so I can imagine that your little ones thinking of Granny surfing is hilarious!  |

BTW, who in the hell is the artist Dave Williams? Never 'eard of him, don't think. I came up with a watercolorist of fruit and flowers and landscapes by that name. That him?! If so, what's he doing in the same thread as Roth and VD?

he was an early low brow artist who used to paint/draw all Roth's later t-shirt adverts for magazines.
his stuff is more surreal

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

ROBERT Williams is a legend. His art (car related or otherwise) is mental... go on amazon and google his name, there's some seriously weird stuff.
My GF's Dad met him a couple of years back too - apparently a very nice guy (arent they always?)
