I wish I could say that I am an expert mechanic, but I am not. I wish I knew the ins and outs of what makes a muscle rod a muscle rod...but I don't. The closest I have come to even doing anything mechanical is the few times I have changed my oil in my old truck although I did replace a radiator one time in a Caprice. But, I digress...I simply love vintage cars, how they look, sound and smell. Anyone who has seen Steve McQueen in the vintage classic Cop movie "Bullit" when he takes on that 68 Dodge Charger with his 68 Ford Mustang HAS to come away a FAN OF THE IRON MUSCLE of the combustion engine and all things metal with screeching rubber tires, exhaust smoke spewing and fenders being crunched! SO, since my blog here is my one outlet to promote what I do (which is draw with pen and ink) and since this crazy world we live in is convinced that the sky is falling thanks in part to "The Modern Car and Big trucks which spew their horrid exhaust into the atmosphere " I am taking time today to promote the world of fast cars and gasoline fueled engines with some artistic creations of my own so as to celebrate the ingenuity it took to develop the modern day vehicle and all those cool models that burned the asphalt like the 65 Corvette, the 68 Charger, the 68 Mustang and many more- NONE OF WHICH WERE GREEN Friendly or powered by an Al Gore like "electric pencil sharpener size motor". Again, all I do is draw such things. The prints shown are available by the way in poster and canvas print and are very affordable so contact me at info@artbygvjones.com if interested and if not, just enjoy taking a gander at them. After all, if the "Go-Green folks" have their way, we will all be driving wimp-mobiles. But the good news is this- neither the combustion engine nor mankind himself is going to destroy this planet on which we live! "Why"-you ask? Because this universe, this world and our very lives are all in the hands of the Almighty Lord God himself and He alone will bring all things to an end when He is ready. So until then, I am going to keep drawing and driving my 2000 Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel and spewing dark clouds of burned diesel fuel into the atmosphere...with great joy.
