It's time for the World of Wheels Again. March 1-3, 2013. We are once again involved with The Brushmasters Automotive Artists For Charity Event.This takes place along with World of Wheels. My subject this year was a reproduction of the sign that was at the racers gate at Oswego Drag Raceway in Oswego IL. This place is very special to alot of people in the Chicago area. Although I had never been there. It holds legendary status among racers and rodders from that era. A friend of mine told me where the original sign was. (it still exists and is in a private collection) I contacted the owner and he sent me photo's of the original. I created a pattern and away we went. This is painted with a brush using sign painters enamel just like it would have been. Then it recieved my patented instant aging process. I think it turned out well. Check out the pictures, the original is the photo on the bottom. I hope it brings big money at the auction this weekend.
