Default New artist/builder

Hi everyone,

My name is Tavis Highlander and I've been roaming around here for awhile, but have just now made my first post. I'm mainly introducing myself as an artist here since my personal project is a '53 Willys Wagon (not exactly an autocross machine). You might have seen it in the March 2010 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. It has a Mopar Performance 6.1L Hemi backed up by a Mopar Performance Viper T-56.

As far as my art and design work goes, I draw up crazy stuff for some well known guys. Steve Strope has been using my services for nearly three years now, Tom at Nelson Racing Engines has also had me illustrate several upcoming super car builds, and Hot Rod Magazine has called on me to draw up several project and marketing cars over the past few years. I also drew up Joe Coy's 65 GTO that won the 2009 GM Design award at SEMA for "Best Midsize Car."

I also know my way around SolidWorks, Rhino3D, and some other CAD systems.

If you'd like to get the inside scoop on what Pure Vision and NRE are up to you can ask me, but they might kill me if I say too much!

Thanks,
Tavis

Nice work on the renderings too.

marks914, I majored in industrial design at Western Washington University and graduated in '07.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I'll be down at the GNRS this weekend with Pure Vision. We'll be showing off two in progress builds. One is a really trick '68 Charger with '66 Charger interior details and the other is a '69 Mustang. The Mustang is being built for Anvil Auto and will feature some wicked inboard rocker-arm actuated coilovers front and rear. Be sure to stop by the Pure Vision booth and say hi in Pomona!

70rs, where in WA are you located? I'm near Longview right now, but I seem to bounce around the western half of the state. How many NW members of lat-g are there?
