Dream Machines

The photos here are some of my favourite vehicles that mosly we have owned in the last 25yrs or so; though sadly not the McLarens or Ferraris. As you can see, I am a huge Harley-Davidson fan but love nice sports cars too. Enjoy.

I will try to explain some of my basic techniques used in the artwork here to create some of my backgrounds should you wish to try this yourselves.

All photographs in this gallery are for personal use only and as such are not for sale.

However, if you would to add your vehicle to OUR gallery please feel free to get in touch.
