Playing with full-size cars

When I was just a boy, I loved to draw cars...and I got pretty good at it too. (And it's kind of funny, but so does my son, and he can draw cars much better than I did at his age.) It was fun to draw the custom cars like the Barris television show creations and coming up with my own funky designs.

So I guess it's not much of a stretch to go from those childhood sketches to vehicle graphics, is it?

Mountain America purchased a shiny new Ford Expedition to be used at events, so why not wrap it with a logo, art and marketing? I received diagrams for the body that I used as a template to create the designs, which I made in Illustrator. The vinyl wrap was produced and applied by FerrariColor in Salt Lake City. I was extremely pleased what a good job they did. Pictured above is actually my second version of the wrap--the first was removed after some body work had to be done.

There is one thing about a wrapped vehicle though; it's IMPOSSIBLE to be inconspicuous, so you have to be on your best behavior at all times while driving it!
