Neil. Artist with a passion for cars, aircraft and people. I draw them, too! Husband to Kerrie, Dad to Mini NG. Proudly ‘Artist in Residence’ at Radio Le Mans.
I’m going to make 25 prints of my Colin McRae drawing - one for each of his WRC victories. Once the imaging is completed and I’m happy, the original will be available to buy.
Please DM to reserve your print, and for enquiries regarding the original.

Hello.I’ve finished my pencil drawing of Allan McNish pedalling the Porsche 911 GT1-98 to victory in the 1998 Le Mans 24 hours. It has been an epic piece, and I probably felt the emotions of an endurance racer, during its creation! 😂

(1/?)So, my “Monday Doodles”… what are they about? Why the name?
Well, I haven’t enough time to complete commissioned pieces, as well as build a portfolio for printing, alongside having a full time job. Last week, I took the risky step (for somebody who is permanently skint) of
I was so close to finishing this last night! A bit of doodling and refining this evening and it’ll be good to go.
What do you think to it, Twitterers?

I have some news for you lovely people.
In 6 weeks time, I shall become a full-time artist!
This will mean that I can start working through my huge list of projects, but more importantly I’ll be more available for commissioned pieces, too.
I can’t wait.

Im an fecking idiot. Never take your car to the local car wash - just do it yourself.
I’ve taken it there a few times and they’ve been careful. I haven’t had any time to clean it and get it ready for sale and now, well, it’s frigged and most likely going nowhere.
Gutted.
Sad, sad, sad.

has died. There aren’t many who could slay giants the way he did in his Mini. The world is a less smiley place today. Rest in Peace, sir. ❤️
Here’s my first
#MondayDoodle
for a while!
Since I was 10 years old, Andy Rouse has been my hero. I visited his workshop in Coventry, sat in his XR4Ti, and Andy signed a poster for me - which I still have. My favourite car of his was the ‘88 Kaliber RS500 and today I drew it.
I’m hoping that Mr Block is waiting, perhaps with Colin and Richard, for Craig, with the keys to something spectacular that he can drive the wheels off.
I haven’t doodled a current WRC car, one of Craig’s will be the first, but not yet. It’s too sad and too soon.

I’ve had this drawing on my board for months. I started it to celebrate the Jubilee but became so intimidated by the task that I haven’t touched it for a long time. I now feel as though I have a duty to finish it. ❤️🤍💙

After 11.5 hours of drawing, I present to you today’s

It’s A3 sized & £150 +P&P if you’d like it!

Ken, I hope you slid through those Pearly Gates absolutely on the lock stops, smoke pouring off all 4 tyres, with a big grin on your face. Go give Colin a hug and get some crazy stunts done!

I broke my car today and I am missing someone very special. 30 minutes on this at lunch today was therapy. I’m trying very very hard to get my head above the water right now. As a naturally positive, “can-do” kinda person, times like these really hit hard. Time for more drawing.
Today’s

Hello. I’m pleased to say that I’ve spent some time on my drawing of this gorgeous Porsche 924 Turbo, shared by Andy Rouse and Tony Dron in the 1980 Le Mans 24 Hours. I love this car and drawing it was a real indulgence!
I hope you like it.

“Bluebird K7 in Blue” is now finished. This has now become the first of my “Monotone” series, where bar the colour of the paper, just one colour will be used. I’ve loved doing this and am excited about doing more! But first, commissioned works.

My first alcoholic drink of 2024. I’m so proud of what I’ve achieved so far this year, in terms of weight loss & my art. One more sketch & then I’m having some time off to relax, marry my soulmate and take her on honeymoon.
After that, well, more on that soon!

One month ago, I dipped below 100kg, for the first time in over 10 years. I started this year at 103.5kg. This morning, the scales teased me with 95.8kg for a second, before settling on 96! The swines!

Helped Mini NG with her homework yesterday - they’ve been studying various genres of art and have been asked to produce a piece in their favourite style. We went to the park, took a photo and she created this Impressionist piece from it. Proud beyond belief. ❤️
Here’s to you, Your Majesty. Thank you for all you did for us, not only here in the UK & the Commonwealth, but the world over. You were an example to which we should all aspire. Beautiful from the inside out. Rest well with that mischievous husband of yours.

And...she’s done! Paddy Hopkirk’s 1964 Monte Carlo winning Austin Cooper S. A3, pencil on Bristol. This was a challenge to myself to see how well I could draw brightwork. I’m not one for self praise, in fact I’m hard on myself, but I think looks pretty good. What do you think?
Extremely proud to have been asked to do this and how it has turned out. Thank you so much, Shami, I’m looking forward to handing this over to you tomorrow. 😊

I cannot tell you how happy I am with his work.
He looks very proud too.

Here’s a doodle, based on the replica of the wonderful Dick Barbour Racing “Apple Computer” Porsche 935 K3. I prefer the replica, as the logos seem to sit nicer in this type of drawing. There’ll be a BIG version of this car, next year!

You shone brightly in your short time on Earth, mate. For that reason, you are still hugely missed. I wonder how many Le Mans victories you’d have had with Porsche? I know it’s a myriad of “what ifs” but I’m certain you’d have had mega success.

Twitter/X,
I was disappointed last night. There’s always one person who wants a free drawing, but when it’s one of your followers who knows it’s a struggle to sell work, it cuts a bit deeper.
Please don’t ask for freebies, it’s pretty insulting.
Lots of love,
NG ❤️💙
Half an hour on this piece at lunch - “From the Fence 4: Bluebird K7 in Blue”.
This is solely drawn with two blue pencils. It’s an experimental piece, but I’m loving it!

Come on, Yianni! 1. Chris is at the forefront of one of the great car shows. He has a duty to condemn this sort of driving, so as to hopefully put other people off doing the same thing. 2,he wasn’t smug, he was factually correct. 3,he’s saying what most of the car community feels
I’ve been asked to provide some drawings to adorn the walls of the newly revamped cafe of my local business park. Feels nice to be a part of something like this, and I think it needs a Ferrari. So, Graham Hill drifting a 250 GTO at Goodwood seems apt.

and I make no apology for it being another Ayrton Senna piece. This time in McLaren MP4/4 at the 1988 Belgian GP at Spa. What a stunning steed that car was, and he was the master of it.
