I've been looking for photos of Richie from 83-84 of the car from the right front/nose/right rear. A down low RF 3/4 shot would be perfect, on track from that type of angle, even better. Haven't been too lucky with what's online-everything is from the left side-anyone have anything like this that they'd like to share? Thanks!

Thanks Mike, but I was looking for the other side of the car. Doing some art, here's the first vector illustration I just finished up today...

I think you have it pretty close. The numbers were a chrome airbrush look early in 83, then he went to the black with white outline like you have. Sure looks like his car to me, great work!

Good pick up....
I just grabbed the first one I found in Howie's galleries and posted it....
He also said he wanted the other side...

Thanks guys-Phil C hooked me up with the shot I was looking for & I'm already rollin' on drawing #2.

I had all the posted pics by Howie-he usually shoots from the infield, hence the left side shots-since I'm doing a 2 car layout, having different angles is a necessity.

Thanks for the compliments guys-here the (somewhat) final version of what I was doing. Still need to do some detail work on the cars, but for what I need it for (sample shirt design for a flyer) it'll work!

Thanks for the props guys!

Kevin-this was done entirely in Corel Draw.

While I could probably sell a bunch of these, I think it would be unethical of me to be producing items for sale that I don't have the rights to do. This was just a sample project to show what I can offer to race teams. The only way it would get produced is if the Evans family wanted it done or gave permission first hand. Other than that, I wouldn't feel right about it.

why don't you talk to richie jr... you could do it in conjunction with him/his mom... people would love the shirts, and it would benefit the evans' a little bit financially and help you with your portfolio and finances too... somebody has to have richie's number... if not, i can probably dig it up...

maybe you could do several different types... a lot of drivers don't make enough $$$ off of souvenirs, and i'm sure they would appreciate extra $$

Great work, looks almost like the front of a box of Wheaties. Too bad they never recognized that group of 'athletes' beyond Dale Sr.
