I would buy this as a tshirt. An iron on diy version would be super old school


mewithadd

I was going to say the same thing. I'd definitely buy that T shirt.


You-get-the-ankles

Didn't the old magazine "CARtoons" magazine have an iron-on in every issue?


jeffroyisyourboy

I see a LOT of George Trosley in that drawing.


ArtofThomasEstrada

Yep! The same way you'd find influences of Peter Millar in Trosley's work ๐Ÿ‘


jeffroyisyourboy

CarToons was a huge part of my life growing up. Crass and Bernie always told me to "Keep it neat!" I drew every "How to draw.." in every issue I had. Your drawing just brought so many good memories back to me. Awesome work dude, thank you for posting. PS Shawn Kerri was always my favourite. I've always been an avid drawer, and I've always drawn nothing but cars.


ArtofThomasEstrada

Very cool! I love George. You know CarToons is being published again, right? George is still doing his thing there


jeffroyisyourboy

WHAT?! Lies!!! Well now I just have to ask my wife to get me a subscription for Christmas!


ArtofThomasEstrada

I'm doing a limited edition print of this one with the chance of winning the original artofthomasestrada.com


jeffroyisyourboy

Definitely gonna check out your site. Cheers, dude! Keep up the good work!


smokeydabear87

How does one become licensed in this art?


ArtofThomasEstrada

You can request it at ratfink.com

Ed's drawings used to cover my walls, lockers and anything else I could put them on. This is amazing work, and brought me back to memories my old man and grandpa. Thank you for that nostalgic trip

AMC represent! Thank you for this.. as a former Nash and AMC owner, always dreamed of having a 69 Hurst SCRambler.. while Big 3 is cutting ties and funding to racing teams, leave it to AMC; from the factory, purpose-built (and painted with Option A or Option B - red, white, and, blue), from dealer lot, to the track, and pull a 1/4 mile in 13 sec@100+ mph, on street tires.. (granted, those polyglas were melted after 2 runs; but that wicked ear-to-ear grin, and that tear in the corner of the eyes: priceless)


Intelligent_Sea_9851

Make a 5โ€ sticker version for my Hornet please. How much?


Abject-Remote7716

The Rat Fink. Been a fan since I was a little kid. Great work.

Beautiful bruv! Thank you for honoring this great style and keeping it alive.


ArtofThomasEstrada

It's seriously my pleasure


artful_todger_502

I follow you on Instagram. I'm old school too. Steadtlers aha Rapidographs! I like lots of digital art, but organic analog has something you cannot replicate. Cool AMX!


ArtofThomasEstrada

Thanks! Rapidographs! I had those in jr high school back in the mid 80s, I love those!


6stringgunner

Dude, I am SO gonna check out your Web site. I am a HUGE Roth fan.


ArtofThomasEstrada

Thank you!


OtherwiseTackle5219

Remids of 'Big Daddy' Ed Roth. & the song ' Rat Fink ' sung By Allan Sherman Hello Mother Hello Father' Think AMC models weren't as popular or plentiful at the time.


ArtofThomasEstrada

That's exactly it! I work with the Roth family


Intheswing

Question - I have a RatFink picture buried somewhere that I bought as a kid in the early 70s Probably 4x6 plus the Frame pretty sure itโ€™s original ink on art board - My question is it worth digging out ? I always loved it but the wife is not a fan - Is there any money in the older pieces like this ??


ArtofThomasEstrada

I would definitely think so. I'd like to see it myself!


kittysontheupgrade

I would buy this as a print. Do you have any for sale?
