I just had to feature a few photos exposing the work of Larry Watson. The man had an eye for detail, style, and color. He definitely paved the way and pushed the boundries. Photos are courtesy of Rik Hoving. Enjoy!

The Master himself. RIP.
Never gets old! My favorite is that 1950 Chevy "Grapevine"! Every time I see that it makes me crave a grape soda.
ReplyDeleteMine too! One of the local guys in Oregon built the clone you always see. I love that car. He definitely opened my eyes open wide to the world of Larry Watson about ten years ago. The original car is actually barried(in the bottom of a land fill) where I am from in Eugene also.
ReplyDeleteAt least someone is keeping that idea alive, even if it's not the original one. That makes my stomach sick to think of that car in a landfill. Such is life I guess.
