“If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But, if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.” ~ Frank Lloyd Wright, Architect and Designer

Origins—Stories behind the art
“Origins is more than a showcase of beautiful illustration. It takes me back in time and rekindles wonderful memories of the cars that were influential in my life—some owned, some lost, some raced. David’s stories remind me of family, especially my father, of lessons learned, of thrilling moments, of both the highs and lows in my life. Mostly, David’s illustrations and stories make me smile and that’s such a gift.”~ Doug Buchanan, Garage Graphics From…

That I wasn’t even close to…

The Saint Lives On
I have several memories of the Volvo P1800. The first is of a pale blue model owned by a neighbor during my high school years in SoCal. It looked pretty exotic to a car crazy teenager and always thought I’d like to own one someday. The second, and equally enduring memory is of the character Simon Templar (played by the irrepressible Roger Moore) tooling around in his 1800—a great car for a suave super agent…
