This is another recently commission completed for 
seht. This is Korestai Jarvinen and he is a gentleman who appreciates the finer things in life. From fine clothes, elegant automobiles, gourmet dining, to nights on the town, Korestai is all about putting on the Ritz!
A critical part of this piece was a 1935 Dusenberg SJ Lagrande dual-cowl phaeton. Go ahead and try saying that ten times fast. Go ahead, I'll wait.
So before I could start on the piece I to learn a bit more about 1935 Dusenbergs. When I started studying the vehicle I found several details about it to be very odd, like the side view mirrors. Today we would mount the mirrors to the body of the vehicle, but on the Dusenberg, at least for this model, they are strapped to the top of the gigantic spare tires on the side of the vehicle. This meant every time you changed a tire, and you did that every few thousand miles, you had to restrap the mirrors back on and get them properly positioned and aligned. Also it is really hard to visualize how large these cars are. Not just in length, but in height and weight; with their massive supercharged straight-eight engines and top speeds of over 100mphs they are very symbolic of American Industrial Might in the 1930s.
The piece was done with 2B and 4B graphite pencil on vellum finish Bristol Board. Image size is roughly 13"x 16".

Wow.
Kinda hard to get past 'wow'. But I'll give it a go. ^^ Your ability to do such fine and specific details has always blown my mind but this is one of the best examples of it to date I think. The Dusenberg is just phenomenal. And Korestai... his outfit, pose, and expression all convey such a powerful sense of who he is, how suave and confident. I love this. ^^

Thank you, Baron. It's beautiful.
I was at the tail-end of a meeting when I checked my mail and saw your note. Knowing it was SFW I opened the picture and... and my colleagues asked me if I was all right. I didn't know what to say beyond, "Profoundly happy."
Thank you. It's incredible. As are you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I dont think I've heard about that car company. I dont know much about pre-40's makers I guess. I agree, the spokes must have been hell. I wonder what it the best way in drawing those, measuring angles or eyeballing it, cause I know I would have erased the paper though trying to get it right. Also doing that much graphite with out massive smudging is really hard.
