GM

I saw the report about General Motors coming out of bankruptcy on the news. I was more taken with the designers and artists creating the new car designs and the creative process for accomplishing this. The news clip showed graphic car designers adding finishing touches to their concepts on the computer and sculptors creating 3-D, small and life size models in clay. Fascinating! What would GM do without these artists?

There are a whole series of videos to watch at the GM site, but here’s one specifically showing the designers.

Here’s a previous posting on cars as another form of canvas.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
