Sorry for the delay in my posting. Sadly, "Speed Racer" took over my life, and then I had to play catch-up on my current project. So as you can see I've been busy. Anyway, I found these watercolors stashed away, and thought I would share. Thanks for all the kind words.
Enjoy.

This is the beginning of what I call the "Shotgun Sketches". Sketches from the passenger seat of the car. Y'know, "Shotgun!"

Also, here is a link to an online Robert Weaver NY Times article. Rob was one my professors at SVA. Great stuff.
