When I was a kid, my Dad taught me the Compartmentalization of Hollywood Structure. How Cop Shows and Private Investigators Shows came to be buy building Story Compartments that included LEAD, SUB-LEAD (Sidekick), LOCATION, BACK STORY (how they got there), NATIONALITY and more. And one of those compartments was TRANSPORTATION. As in, how does that PI get around?

Thus, that age of PI’s began… and ran for decades. But I always imagined that if I became a PI, WHAT WOULD I DRIVE? Thankfully, there were tons of shows on at the time and I got to envision myself in each one. Now… I get to SKETCH THEM for you guys!

Today, we celebrate CLASSIC PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS to that sometimes blurred the boundaries of the LAW to get shit done. And they did in Car Chases, Gun Battles, Fistycuffs and sometimes… EXPLOSIONS. See you favorite here? Grab a CANVAS Print or Mug as a GIFT and I’ll shoot 10% to DOG RESCUES! Or get something for your GARAGE!

And although my list of SKETCHES to still do is HUGE, I might be missing something, so LEAVE A COMMENT and help me complete it! Don’t forget, today is ART TALK LIVE on my Facebook Page at 8am(pst). See you there! (CLICK THE IMAGES to see what’s in the Garage!)
