Classic Auto Art

[GTAm]

Hi Guys,

Thought I'll share this with you.....

Here is a highly talented Sri Lankan Artist Amila who has done well in the UK and has won prestgeous recognition. The good news is that he will be having an exhibition in March 2008 at the Lionel Wednt starting on the 7th. Do check out his impressive web site below and some of his even more impressive drawings.

I know....there's no way I'll even consider paying half that. I mean they are really good "illustrations" but not the greatest piece of car art I've seen to command that kind of price. That said they are originals and not prints.

Anyway it's nice to know there are talented Sri Lankans around....
