Problèmes de voiture
[Par Murray Dewhurst à Auckand] J'ai eu quelques problèmes de voiture ces derniers temps et je suis entré et sorti du garage à plusieurs reprises.

La rue des rêves
[By Tina Koyama in Seattle] Yesterday was my fifth year sketching at the Greenwood Car Show, probably my favorite summertime event. Subtitled “A mile and a half of classic rides,” the annual show brings together car enthusiasts and their shiny, souped-up vehicles from all over the Puget Sound region. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS convertible I’ve sketched […]
Cache voiture
[By Murray Dewhurst in Otaihanga and Paeroa] A collection of kiwi cars completed over the last year, viewed in age order. That’s an 1895 Benz Aero above – New Zealand’s oldest car – sketched at the Southward Museum in Otaihanga. Driving must have been a different experience in those days!

Un bus de tourisme Kenworth de 1937 pour Flaf

Austin Sheerline limo is unusual featuring ‘razor edge design’ and those enormous Lucas headlights usually seen on Rolls Royce and Bentleys. The current school holiday’s found me in Ohakune […]

I love imagining about their owners, highways they have crossed,memories they have witnessed and the stories behind their dust, scratches and broken parts. through my drawings I like to share their glamourous stories to remind their golden […]
Hot Air Balloons and Vintage Cars
Getting my family up and out of the house on a Saturday morning is like pulling teeth. But today was an exception. Nobody complained about the 7am wake up call to go up on hot air balloon and helicopter rides at the Wings of History Museum, a little volunteer run airplane museum and restoration center […]
"peugeot ville"

long, trop long...
même à barcelone, l'hiver est trop long pour ceux qui aiment faire des croquis à l'extérieur. d'une certaine manière, j'ai l'impression de souffrir d'une dépression du croqueur d'hiver. Je devais sortir faire des croquis malgré le vent froid, mais à chaque fois je rentrais chez moi avec un croquis ET un rhume. alors cette année, pour le "rallye de barcelone-sitges", [...]
