Photo/Drawing/Paintings All-In-One

[DerekWalkerPhoto]

Hello folks! I thought I'd show off some of my latest work. I am a photographer by trade, but got really tired of the same looking photographs everywhere. If anyone loves cars, they'll love my work. It's all I do really.

Enjoy!

P.S. For whoever is wondering, they are partly hand drawn and scanned onto the photo itself. Then splatters added.

Myself, I am not into that splattering I would love to see those cars without that. Hand-drawn looks like excellent work, to me the splatter takes away from artistry.. but,that's just my opinion

I've got to side with iDad on that. One or two splatters (among straight shots/illustrations/other efx) would be OK, but I think the novelty will wear off after a while.

Our opinion on splatters not withstanding, very nice work!

I agree that the novelty will wear off, and I've been thinking about how to change things up.

However, in the car world, and circles that my fans are in, people are loving them so as of now I won't change it.

To each his own

Hey, milk it for all it's worth! You wouldn't be the first to get a heck of a lot of mileage out of paint splatters. I think there was some guy named Pollock that did pretty well with them. LOL!

Along the same line, Hallmark is still selling cards with everything in B&W except for one flower, and every TV crime show that wants to suggest a run-down, gritty location will, without fail, turn on the blue-green cross-processed look. As you suggest, any given look may get old to people who work in the same area, but there are plenty of other folks who have never seen it before and will love it.

As I said, nice work!

I agree with iDad and Tom about the splatters...but awesome images! I like them all.
