F1paintings.com – Kevin McNicholas
Kevin McNicholas has been able to gain access to the highly technical but extremely secretive world of F1 motor racing by painting pictures of the cars for leading luminaries of the sport, including Nigel Mansell, Ron Dennis and Sir Frank Williams. “I paint on canvas panels in a photo-realistic style using acrylic paint with traditional brushes. I don’t use an airbrush and wouldn’t know where to start with one. I don’t like to lose the texture of the canvas, so I am extremely careful with the consistency of the paint.” The image is drawn with graphite pencil followed by ink and a grid is used to ensure the perspective is correct. The image is then built up gradually with thinned layers of paint. This is a very time consuming process, which means on average each painting takes around 1200 hours to complete.

Gavin McMurray
Born and bred in Edinburgh, this artist chose, against his Father’s advice, to pursue a career in signwriting and commercial art rather than go to art college. This decision was driven by the artist’s desire to start earning right away so he could buy a buy a car and get a girl - when you are a seventeen-year-old boy, it’s all about cars and girls. The first car is long gone, but he still has the same girl! Fast-forward forty years, after a long and successful career in signmaking the pandemic created the time and space for his interest in art to re-awaken and for many hundreds of hours to be spent learning a new craft – automotive art. A visit to Bicester Heritage Centre led to his first painting of note; a composition featuring the Henri Toivonen Lancia 037 Group B rally car alongside the roadgoing homologation special, the Lancia Stradale, upon which it was based. This was followed by a project, still in progress, to paint the celebrated new Lotus Emira, the last internal combustion engine Lotus will make, in all six First Edition colours. Gavin’s preferred medium is acrylics on canvas, painting at a scale that allows faithful reproduction of every detail. Portraits are also painstakingly executed, one of his large format works finishing in the top 100 of the Scottish Portrait Awards in 2022. He signs his work G. Y. McMurray to honour his late father Yuel, a talented artist who was responsible for Gavin’s lifelong passion for classic, competition and performance cars. Yuel painted cars in his youth and during his commercial art career painted the sponsors’ livery on cars campaigned by the local Garagiste, John Laidlay. These included the Hope Scott Chevron B49 driven by Andrew Jeffrey, often seen locked in battle with Jim Crawford and David Leslie’s Hope Scott Ralt RT4 which won almost every race in which it competed. Gavin retains an interest and active role in Merson Group, who manufacture dealership branding on a global scale for Lotus and Aston Martin, while also looking after the UK dealership signage for Volvo, Ford and Honda. His own Lotus Emira, in Dark Verdant green the same as one of his exhibited works, can often be seen enjoying the best driving roads in Scotland and further afield.

J.K. Kelly
Jim ‘JK’ Kelly is a long-time motorsports industry veteran and the author of the very well received F1/CIA thriller Deadly Driver. ‘I was humbled by the great reviews Deadly Driver received,’ Kelly said. ‘It’s not every day that racing notables like David Hobbs, NHRA Funny Car Champion Ron Capps, Hurley Haywood, Ted West, Lynn St. James, Alan Reinhart, and Kelly Wade give fiction such a big thumbs-up.’ Former U.S. Secret Service Agent and author C.E. Albanese called it. ‘A well-crafted thriller’, adding, ‘It was gritty, brutal, propulsive, and had an American James Bond feel to it. I loved it.’ Kelly is scheduled to attend the Motoring & Literary Art Festival, where a limited number of hard-cover copies of a sequel, titled Switchback, are expected to be revealed in time for the Christmas holiday. The novels follow the exploits of Bryce Winters, an American racing champion compromised by the CIA and forced to act as a spy and professional assassin, relying on his celebrity to access the powerful enemies of his homeland and of the U.K. Switchback, the sequel, picks up the action and intrigue as rogue CIA agents pursue Winters to his first race of the season, the Rolex 24-hour race at Daytona, USA, where the U.S. book launch will officially take place. For more information about Kelly’s books or screenplays, visit JKKelly.com or email Info@JKKelly.com.
John Hamilton Motoring Artist
John is a self taught artist and it was in 1990 that he started drawing cars in pencil with his first sketch being of a Ford Pop 103e. He then experimented using various mediums so he could produce the images in a choice of colours. He finally settled for digital art, as it allowed him more flexibility and creativity.
Joff Carter
Until recently I worked under the name Artfortyeight – you might have come across me at Goodwood, Silverstone and other historic motorsport events over recent years. In that time I have been lucky enough to meet hundreds of fellow motorsport enthusiasts, many of whom have become great friends, supporters and customers; this has all brought me to a point where now, as an established motorsport artist, it’s time to work under my own name: Jonathan Carter, known to most as Joff. My admiration for the ‘golden era’ of motorsport was nurtured from boyhood by my late father (himself an artist), who as well as having a soft spot for racing’s underdogs – Parnell and Wharton especially – also loved restoring old motorbikes, the smell of Castrol R, and heading off to gatherings of fellow enthusiasts in his 1959 Alfa Giulietta Spider. Having obtained a degree in Graphic Design, I worked as an artist and illustrator before sidestepping into the world of commercial graphics and print production for 11 years. This stint in digital media completely reinvigorated the way I work; my originals combine traditional techniques with high technology in evocative, illustrative compositions that often feature text, vignettes or snippets of memorabilia and reveal a little more with every closer inspection.

Julian Kirk Motoring Art
Julian is an artist with an international reputation who has worked in New York and Tokyo as well as London. He is best known for his motoring cartoons and over many years, has contributed to a number of British newspapers and journals. He has also illustrated books such as Christopher Hilton's works on Senna and Murray Walker. Julian grew up in a family of artists and his early influences were his father’s work as well as Saul Steinberg, the great New Yorker cartoonist, Rowland Emmett, W. Heath Robinson and, especially, the brilliant Punch contributor H. M. Bateman. His fascination with classic cars began at an early age when the die was cast by a chance encounter with a copy of Thoroughbred and Classic Cars during a stay in hospital as a thirteen-year-old. In Julian's own words “I recovered from appendicitis only to emerge from hospital with something more chronic and life-changing - a love of classic cars!” As well as his art, Julian also has a “hands-on” appreciation of the cars themselves. At the age of 16, he bought a 1937 MG TA wreck from his art master at school and soon learned that old cars had their own precious smell composed of cracked leather, decayed petrol, grease and leaking Hypoid gear oil. Jaguars followed, all in need of complete restoration or reconstruction. An E-Type semi-lightweight followed a C-Type replica while he worked on Astons, Talbots and others for friends. Each year, Julian has created 12 specially-commissioned cartoons for his Jaguar calendar. The 10th anniversary edition has now been launched for 2024 and is available on the Jaguar Automobilia website at this link - https://jaguarautomobilia.com/julian-kirks-2024-calendar/ Julian is also very happy to take commissions on a wide range of motoring subjects - be they cars, people or events. You can email Julian at juliankirk50@gmail.com

Speed Icons by Joel Clark
SPEED ICONS is a collection of artworks created by Joel Clark and his publishers Historic Car Art that focus on the simple, graphic, striking colours and shapes of racing and sports cars. JOEL CLARK is self-diagnosed “petrol-head” from an early age, Clark began his career as a vinyl sticker maker for race teams at Silverstone. He then went to art college followed by 15 years of professional work with some of the worlds top advertising agencies. Clark knows that when cars speed past us on the race track it’s not their engines or drivers that we really see; it’s the oranges, blues, whites, reds in shapes and patterns. It’s their colours. Though Clark is a skilled artist in various traditional media, evident from his oil paintings, it’s his unique workings in vinyl that most resoundingly exhibit his understanding of the relationship between colour and motorsport. “I have now gone full circle” Clark explains, “and returned to the unique skill I learnt back at Silverstone, hand-cutting the vinyl graphics for racing cars, but now hand cutting vinyl to create artworks of iconic classic racing cars and liveries” Each piece is the result of 20-30 hours of carefully working with a scalpel to hand-cut out the hundreds of intricate puzzle-like shapes of colour that make up an image. Rendering an entire scene in vinyl is especially challenging because of the limited palette the material is available in. This constraint, however, results in works of art that are in precisely the same colour as his subjects. On the surface, Clark’s work appears to be just many coloured shapes and negative space. But, in the way of an Impressionist painting, or a blur of race cars at speed, these daubs of colour and the absence of fine detail are transfixing, thrilling and so much more than they appear. The SPEED ICONS collection is available as beautiful limited edition prints.

The Art of Richard Wheatland - Engineering with a Brush
Richard has drawn and painted cars and aeroplanes from an early age, however it was a visit to the Roy Nockolds Memorial exhibition in 1980 which gave him the impetus to start to take his art more seriously.

Since those early years Richard has exhibited at most of the major historic motoring events in the UK as well as exhibiting in the US. His Aviation art has also taken him to the US as an overseas member of the American Society of Aviation Artists where he has won a number of awards. Richard is a founder member of the Guild of Motoring Artists in the UK and also a full member of The Guild of Aviation Artists.
