    I'm sorry I haven't been around folks, I'm going through a difficul time right now. Everyone is healthy with family and kids it's just my family dynamic is changing if you know what I mean. I'm starting to get to a place where things are starting to normalize for me and I've been getting some drive within me to get back to my art which I haven't had for the last couple of months.
    I apologize if I left people hanging, especially @Gramps who's project came to an abrupt halt. I will be getting back to it soon. I promise!

    Thread revival!

    20180201_144309.jpg

    So I've been playing around with the idea of making some small art prints that I could produce in batches. I would draw the originals and then make them into silkscreen prints that I could make whenever I needed to.
    My plan is to print them onto watercolor paper and then paint them to match individual colors of each model year. I started with this 3rd gen above and I'll try out some color in it later tonight.

    3rd gen
    2n gen
    1st gen
    Helux
    Land cruiser
    FJ
    Tundra

    They'd be small to fit in an 8"x10" frame but they would all be uniform in size too. If I do it right I may even be able to make them into T-shirt designs as well.

    Feedback welcome!
