Taking inspiration from everything around us.

These unique, one of a kind art pieces are actual renderings of YOUR CAR. Penned by a Art Center College of Design student, these unique art pieces are a tasteful way to show off your car in nearly any setting - home, office or the shop - or even display it at a car show. These renderings capture your car in a hand-made medium, penned with quality craftsmanship that you can be proud to own.
Working with best in the industry learning, the people who started it all (for example: STILLEN, Mod Bargains or BC Traffic - just to name a few). Continuing to inspire, create, connect and build lifestyle relationships.
LEVEL SPEC
A current attendee of the world-renowned Pasadena Art Center College of Design (often called simply ""Art Center""), Derek continues to develop his skills and self-expression. Derek prides himself on his ability to present information through visual communications like artwork, creating a ""visual narrative"", which takes inspiration form the objects that surround us in daily life and capturing the simplicity of an object or its most exaggerated form - and from that, a real project vehicle for production is ready to spring to life. Since attending Art Center, Derek says he has learned quite a bit and looks forward to continuing to develop his talents and hopes to one day be apart of a team to design a product that inspires the next generation.
Born in Huntington Beach, California in September 1988, Derek has aspired to be an automobile designer since childhood. Derek grew up hanging around cars - his father worked as an auto mechanic and was a major gearhead, exposing Derek to all sorts of vehicles, even teaching him to drive for the first time in a classic '66 Mustang. Growing up surrounded by car paraphernalia, cars were a natural passion for Derek. But cars weren't Derek's only interest- Art played an equal part in his upbringing. With a flair for the artistic and creative, Derek's love of art went hand in hand with his affection for cars, sketching race cars as a hobby from a young age. Derek credits his talent to his maternal grandfather, who regularly took him to parks with folding chairs and tablets, and instructing him to sketch whatever he saw in front of him, offering encouragement and guidance to hone Derek's artistic perspective. Derek is a content winner receiving an award from Crayola, for being "most creative in theme" pairing a drawing of an animal and narrative to describe the thought process at age 10. Derek first showed his talent for automotive artwork at the age of 14, contributing to the family's game room with a wall mural of a race track and many iconic NASCAR racecars. First drawing personalized cars for family members as gifts in high school, Derek discovered a niche for his art and has since drawn many personalized cars for appreciative car enthusiasts. Today, Derek is pleased to offer his talents making a career out of his passion for automotive art.

"Everything is an inspiration! "
Anything can be made from something just grab all the shapes you can and lets combine the different forms of lifestyles into a masterpiece of entertainment." - Derek
