    Default Just wanted to share this awesome birthday present – 06-29-2012,12:40 PM
    So my dad surprised me yesterday with a portrait of my car 24x 36 (produced from a picture he had taken). The gentlemans name is Andy King. Anyways very impressed with the work, looks to be a combination of airbrush and latex. Check out the quarter panel window he even got the VSR sticker on it!

    That's a beautiful pic and print. It looks amazingly like the old BMW press photo (angle/detail/window reflections/headlight glint/background clouds). Check it out here:

    Thanks for sharing it!
