Grand National Roadster Show 75th Anniversary.
Wow, the 75th Grand National Roadster Show… what a rush! For me, it was more than just a show; it was a culmination of years of passion and dedication. Seeing over 500 incredible vehicles all in one place was truly inspiring. The creativity and craftsmanship on display were just mind-blowing. From the classic roadsters, embodying the timeless spirit of hot-rodding, to the cutting-edge modern builds that push the boundaries of design, it was a feast for the eyes. Every detail, from the intricate pinstriping to the meticulously crafted interiors, told a story. It was a celebration of automotive art, and I was honored to be a part of it.
As an artist, I try to capture more than just the image of a car; I want to convey the feeling, the essence, the soul of the machine. I want people to see what I see – the lines, the curves, the way the light plays on the chrome – and feel the passion that went into creating these rolling works of art. My prints, available at sjcooksey.com, are a way for people to bring a piece of that experience home with them, to relive the magic of the show long after it's over.
Beyond the prints, my website, SJCooksey.com, offers a glimpse into my creative process. You can see my sketches, where I capture the raw energy of a design, my paintings, where I explore the mood and atmosphere of the open road, and even my coloring books, which are a fun way for anyone to engage with these iconic vehicles.
And for those who have a truly special car, a dream machine they want to immortalize, I offer commissions. Imagine your own prized possession, your personal masterpiece, transformed into a unique work of art. It's a chance to create something truly special, a piece that reflects your own passion for automotive design. If you're interested in discussing a commission, please feel free to contact me directly through my website. The Grand National Roadster Show was an incredible experience, and I'm excited to continue capturing the spirit of these amazing machines through my art.
