“This painting is my expression of appreciation for Carroll Shelby and the team of engineers and fabricators that sculpted some of the most visually exciting cars of all time."- MICHAEL IRVINE “This painting is my expression of...
“... talking with “Jerry” about the field of Corvettes really peaked my interest. So much so, that I decided to create a painting of the location, based solely on my mind’s interpretation of 'Jerry's' description. I personally have not seen this field of more than 500 Vettes, nor do I now it's exact location — I wish I did. So, please, don't call or email... “... talking with “Jerry” about the...
"I had been doing a lot of research — watching the movie Bullitt again and again for inspiration — while painting “DODGE N’ A BULLITT”. In January, we were in Arizona for Barrett Jackson and took a couple days to see Sedona and the Grand Canyon, and ended up on a short stretch of Route 66. When HoonDog Events approached me to create a commemorative... "I had been doing a lot of research —...
“Although the fox body is one of Ford's longest running body styles, surprislngly, there are very few images available of this car. I thought I should do something about that ... that's how the idea for Classy Fox Chassis was born."- MICHAEL IRVINE “Although the fox body is one of...
“I'm a big fan of car chase movies, and a few years ago I did a painting called "End of the Line" in which I chose to feature my 5 favorite chase flicks. I've been asked many times over the years why 'Smokey and the Bandit' didn't make the cut. It is a great film and definitely makes my top 10. I've thought about doing a second painting with my next 5... “I'm a big fan of car chase movies,...
“I have spent many weekends at carshows in both Canada and the United States, admiring the incredible amount of work enthusiasts put into restoring these Mustangs. It was on one of these expeditions that I saw the rare Cobra Jet which inspired the painting Desert Snakes."- MICHAEL IRVINE “I have spent many weekends at...
"It [Bullitt] is definitely my favorite car chase movie. How could it not be? All the elements come together to create the scene, kind of like the way a painting comes together for me — the title, the setting and the cars. In the movie, it's the characters, the cast, the story line, the scenery and the sound track (cars and music).With this painting, the... "It [Bullitt] is definitely my...
“I’ve always liked the Chevelle and in convertible trim its sleek lines really come together. Wanting to capture the exhilaration of driving such a powerful car, I needed the right setting. I thought what better place to be with your car than on an open country road with fellow Chevelle owners, in friendly competition, doing what these high performance... “I’ve always liked the Chevelle and...
“I've always liked the Dodge Viper. To me, it represents everything an American sports car should be — it's powerful, with brutish good looks and bright, stunning colors. The car can't help but be a head turner, whether just cruising down the highway, or going full out at a place like the Salt Flats."- MICHAEL IRVINE “I've always liked the Dodge Viper....
"This year [2007] marks the 40th Anniversary of the Mercury Cougar and I really wanted to create the ultimate Cougar tribute painting! A while back someone emailed me a couple of shots of their cars. When I saw how they were parked, I instantly thought of a drag race ... a street race actually ... but as I did my research I learned a bit about the cars'... "This year [2007] marks the 40th...
"Of all the movies that I've seen that involve a high speed chase — and I've seen a lot, these 5 chases are my favorite. I always enjoy watching American muscle cars elude the authorities through high-speed pursuit, spectacular stunts and incredible crashes, as they are pushed beyond their limits. But, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an... "Of all the movies that I've seen...
“Evolution of a Legend was inspired by the 30th anniversay of Ford's Mustang in 1994. I wanted to capture the details that have over the years made this particular car truly unique. I painted it before the actual release of the new model, so that the detail of the 1994 Mustang is based on a conceptual design. Ford's final choice was very close to the one... “Evolution of a Legend was inspired...
