the Deluxo

I came up with this image of a burning car* for a video game cover design. It is for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I remember playing this game and driving the cars around and shooting guns though I can't remember anything about the story.


In a lot of ways I like the way cars look like when they are on fire. It always seems like its an arresting image in that when you watch a car on fire you inevitably seem to await its explosion.


Something like that.

Christian the librarian gave me a printout of a car on fire which was inspiring in an unexpected way.

*one of the cars you can steal in the game is this, a blue "deluxo".

I did this one with gouache, pencil, color pencil, and paper cut-outs
