everyone draws an eye
the figures and reflections
gleam and reflect
cause havoc
and recline
so did i
with hands shaking
calling on pleasures
of the mind
This work i want to dedicate to =RTyson 
, a wonderful person and an extraordinary artist of the black&white realms. She carries in herself what i lack… patience… she spends amazingly long hours on her works and i just run through them. The wait has its own pleasure, the pace has its own fun. I wish she stays in her element forever and keeps feeding our eyes.
AFTERTHOUGHT: your eyes are burning holes through me

This was the cover of a pop band’s album back in 1998. I just drew it in free time, nothing serious.
I didnt what it was back then, now i know its abstract art. I like to call it Escape…

I read a story about Bertone X 1/9 in a auto magazine and so i decided to draw it + i was really into landscape paintings back then and so i decided to merge the two and here is the result.. a really messed up painting….

So i used to be smitten by the headlight cluster of Maybach and its 2 tone colors. I just had to paint it back in ‘98.

Backflash 1998… This is what i used to draw back then.. watercolored cars… ofcourse the background landscapes have never been my speciality… in this drawing, i tried make a guy sit on the horizon…. the experoment failed badly. This is a Jaguar XJ6 sitting pretty in the evening sun. I guess i got pretty good at headlights, wheels and grills at this stage… For your eyes only…

I used to draw a lots of stuff when i was in college, but nothing too serious. Here are some ramblings i did with my pencil and black ink pen. Every car lover falls for the vintage beauty once in his life, i had my share…
A concept i drew based on low roof hot rods. Ofcourse the deisgn is so stupid that if it ever gets into production, it will drink more gas then a Hummer. Eventually back then, i didnt even know the spellings of Minnesota.
Jaguar SS1 classic roof down. Oh i love the way i did those wheels…
Lagonda 4 and 1/2 litres sedan soft top
The stripped 4 and 1/2 litres convertible vintage made for racing back in 1934-35. Notice the re-inforced chasis.

mechanics of my heart
are hard to decode
it rattles and grinds
creating non-existing sounds
my eyes drain
devoid of emotions
moving around aimlessly
i paint an image of my pain
…somehow the character wall-e is a melancholic figure to me… the images i have seen, he seems so devoid of hope, so sad and pessimistic. I know nothing of the movie yet, but i concocted my own myth that he is sad due to the hopelessness of humans and the world around him.. like i get sometimes.. an inconvenient truth…
`Nico1 said some nice words to me today… and his words are like the light of hope in the wasteland for wall-e… maybe he is also looking for some people like Nico… to give him comfort from the pessimism of life. We all need some comforting words… and comforting souls. Some souls who are not corrupted by the politics of humanity. This work simply goes to `Nico1 im supposed to draw an Alpha Romeo Spider for you nico… havent had time for that, but until then.. accept this.

sweet decline
the sadness of your smile
i care not to see
whatever lies within me
you look away
i bury myself deep
these hoards of passion
this sadness is me
machine, man and gasoline
heart burning at slow speed
have not, never seen
no believe in my belief
Note: Some of my friends are getting confused about these lines i wrote above. Well actually there is a fourth and concluding stanza to this song… but i didnt post it here. I have been sending it to the friends who are faving it as an appreciation. So dont be confused, you didnt fave a poem, its just me appreciating in my own way.
About the Car: The model that you see here is the 1971 R/T version of the Charger. Since its birth in 1964, Charger was updated in exteriors almost every year. In the base model, it had a small grill with double round headlights. Soon enough the round headlights were taken out and it was given a wide grill to almost no headlights in Hemi version. Actually these were longitudinal headlights designed by Harvey J. Winn.
The R/T ‘71 Charger didnt sell well due to high insurance rates. It was completely restyled with a new split grille and more rounded “fuselage” bodystyle. Hidden headlights were no longer standard, they were now optional. A rear spoiler and a “Ramcharger” hood made the option lists for the first time. A special scoop was mounted in the hood, directly above the air cleaner. Charger still boasts of having an individual styling and has its name as one of the most aesthetically pleasing muscle car.
Dedicated to *anubis46 
, to his art and to his humor and to his friendliness. He is almost of my father’s age but i talk to him like dudes and he always hits me back with equal force… we share passion for automobiles and especially bikes. As for his art… im not worthy enough of defining it or elaborating on it. You have to see it to believe it.. its unusual and the ordinary at the same time. Those machines of wonder..!!

Artist’s Comments
i drive
in the dirt
of my mind
i have left behind
the migraine hours
the preparation art
never more i will know
i glide
dirt attacks
from behind
horizon expanding
numerous suns shine
glimmer in my rearview
vengeful road expands time
Note:The song you read above has a final and concluding stanza which i havent written here. if you will fave this work, i will send it across in my thanks note to you. Just my way of appreciating your time.
I saw this work here by 
longtime back and always had it at the back of my mind to draw it in pencils. Some months back i took his permission to draw it and he happily accepted. I drew it that very weekend, but couldnt scan it for a longtime. Finally she is up and is dedicated rightfully to ~franzart
About the car:Franzart took this snapshot from the GT4. But im guessing that this is the Subaru Impreza WRC 2005. With six World Rally Championship titles and 44 outright rally wins in the past 12 seasons, the Impreza had been the defining car in Subaru’s elevation from road car manufacturer to legend in world rallying. From its inception in 1993, the Impreza had provided a sensory assault on motorsport fans across the globe. Featuring a wider track, revised styling, composite body panels and a host of engine and suspension enhancements, the Impreza WRC2005 was the ultimate development of a rally car and represented a landmark in the collaboration between engineering and design teams in the UK and Japan from Subaru.
Built to take full advantage of the FIA’s revised world rally car dimensions, the Impreza WRC2005 bodyshell was wider than its predecessor by 30mm, which gave it a slightly more aggressive look in the front and rear wheel arches. Another fresh feature of the exterior styling was the carefully sculpted wheel arches, penned by the Japanese stylists, which help balance the increased track with the design of the front and rear bodywork. As well as being stiffer than the WRC2004, the bodyshell of the Impreza WRC2005 featured more composite panels than any of its predecessors. These included new front and rear wheel arches, in addition to the front and rear bumpers. At the front end, the layout of the radiator and turbo intercooler followed the same basic concept as before, but had been further refined. The re-styled front bumper incorporated lessons learned over the last 12 months and efficiently managed the flow of air around the front of the car and through the cooling systems.
Personally, i place Subaru Impreza only after Mitsubishi Lancer Evo series. I really hope to draw them as well.
