It may be the ultimate gift or corporate statement: an original work of art, depicting that special machine in your life
be it a sports car, a vintage roadster, a racing car - or even an aeroplane.
It can even be a depiction of a thrilling racing scene, created off a photograph. Dave Adnams has been specialising in automotive art for decades. A trained graphic artist, he swapped the world of advertising for the more satisfying profession of creating original art for individual customers and corporations. |

His exceptional work features in boardrooms and homes, and has been widely used in various books and magazines. He also produced a series of limited edition prints of historic racing cars, as well as various calendars with an automotive theme. "Transport is more than getting from A to B. The mechanical soul, to captivate the exciting experience and interest of all the tactile qualities that make up the whole - that's what my art works are all about. Sheet metal, chrome and leather ... I love to exaggerate these qualities, to enhance the visually luxurious," He's immortalised Porsches, Ferraris, AC Cobras, Mustangs and a myriad other cars in brilliant, air-brushed art for their owners, as well as corporate jets, planes - even trucks. His racing car paintings evoke the action and the excitement of the real thing. |

Dave prefers airbrushing for his paintings.
"The technique of airbrushing is almost like sculpting with air. The end product depicts power, luxury, wealth, speed and something of the future," For a gift with a difference - and lasting value - Dave can be commissioned to create an airbrushed painting of just about anything with wheels, or wings. |
