Zombie - 1932 Ford Custom Rod
LUGNuts' founder Lino Martins has graciously given me permission to replicate his series of automotive illustrations based on various mixed alcoholic drinks.
The first in this series is a Lego -model replication of 'Zombie' - Ford 1932 Custom Rod.
.
In Lino's own words:
This is the ninth installment of my "Happy Hour" series in which you suggested a mixed drink and I'd somehow draw a custom vehicle based on it. Nelson Yrizarry suggested the Zombie so for this I drew a low and mean bare-bones rat rod. It got me thinking about rock posters so I nixed my painterly brushes in favor of graphically bold ink applications using only three colors on black. This included a steep learning curve and it turns out I don't really have a steady hand for inking. Luckily zombies and rat rods alike come with imperfections so the wavery hand was not as awful as originally thought it would be. Overall I like how this turned out so thank you for suggesting it. Stay tuned as I draw more of your suggestions and will eventually finish out the series with something cool and special for my friends in recovery or those who simply choose not to drink. Remember always drink responsibly and never drink and drive. Also, Nelson may or may not be thrilled to learn that this drawing comes with a song by Alien Sex Fiend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfm7cOJfOjk
