Description
A3 drawing of Rat Fink, the classic hot rod mascot
IThis isn't my style of drawing, as you'll notice if you look at my other work; and I couldn't have imagined it or drawn in somebody else's style, so it's been copied from a drawing by the original artist, Ed Roth - I just liked it so much I wanted to try drawing it myself.

My dad's big into Ed Roth's stuff. I think it's pretty cool! Love this drawing, you did a good job! I wish I could draw cars/hot rods- all I draw for them is a simple box with circles for wheels.

Haha practice makes perfect! I haven't always been this good - and this one is only this good because I was copying Ed'd original drawing. I have done a couple of hot rod style cartoon attempts, though as much as I love them I don't quite feel like they're my style of drawing.
I'm big into the hot rod scene as well - I painted Rat Fink onto my guitar as well

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. This one, as mentioned, was basically me re-drawing an original picture - just to see if I could do it accurately. I don't quite have the same level of skill and imagination otherwise, though I did try a hot rod drawing in this style; browse.deviantart.com/art/1202...

My grandpa worked with Rat Fink (ed roth) on a ton of projects he did. It's pretty crazy knowing he knew a legend.

Wow, really? That's awesome! I wish I could have been there too
It would be really interesting if he still had some of the old work he did laying around the place.

I asked if he did and he said no :/

Brings back memories for me, too. I remember "CARtoons" magazine. Unfortunately it ceased publication a while back. Funny stuff.

This brings back memories
Hey, ever read CARtoons magazine? It had a similar feel to artwork like Rat Fink

No, I've never read them - haven't seen that sort of thing much in Europe (America's the big hot rod country - we get more fast and furious wannabes in europe lol)
I'd certainly look at them if I saw one somewhere, I love this type of cartoon
