Ive been toying with the idea of doing a cd full of nothing but cars, trucks, bikes,atvs, construction equipment, etc. all in cartoon form. Ive already drawn up quite a few, including this one here, which is a drawing of my pickup done toon style. Been thinking about this for awhile now, aint too much if any of this type art out there right now. You think it would sell?

John, you gotta remember to add a Redneck station wagon, a schoolbus, and a camper to that CD! It will sell like hotcakes. Love....Jill

John, not sure if you've seen them or not but there's quite a few car-toons in the Vector Art collection, although most are in a style that's quite different than yours.

I love your style... looks like you enjoy doing them a bunch. And better yet to get paid for it too!
Good luck with your CD. Give the McIltrots a call down at Signcraft and see if they will promote them for you.... might be worth a try.
