Illustration Friday: Cars -

"Cars"
montage by Mick Mather

Too bad this theme, cars, wasn't offered at Illustration Friday a few weeks back when I loaded my Citroen CV. On the other hand, if it had been, I likely wouldn't have done the same illustration anyway. This afternoon, then, I went wandering through my photo files and picked a few with lots of cars in them. Just for fun, I cut out a single car, pasted it into the new (to me) DrawPlus software and fiddled for about an hour. Not much was working and, as often happens, I took one more stab at it before throwing in the towel. Voila! The result is kind'a, sort'a 1960's Peter Max-ish, wouldn't you say? I'm pleased...let the holiday weekend begin!

* I've had so many positive comments on this piece that I decided to post an alternate version of "Cars" alongside the original photograph, "Cars On Main Street". Also included is an image of the car used in this post before filtering and manipulating. You can see it all here.
