Wreckhouse design for Targa Newfoundland 2001 Poster
I've been wanting to preserve some great Targa moments in paint for years and this year finally found the time to. The illustration done for this years poster is an acrylic painting 20" x 28" and pulls together some of the more recognizable cars from the last 10 years. The Stillen GTR was just such a photogenic car, always seemed to be going fast, even when standing still. Glen Clark's blue porsche, a fixture of Targa. The same can be said of the 2002. I had a 73 tii years ago and it was Roy and Adrianne's 02 that hooked me on Targa. The blue subaru, captured by Gord Sleigh in the early years, flying through gravel captured the essence of targa. The two mustangs, always favourites and the subjects of many great stories finish off the collage.
Reproducing a painting created with weeks of careful details has proved to be a challenge and I am still trying to get a decent image for reproduction. I hope to do some high quality fine art prints of this poster soon, though regrettably not before the 2011 event. Stay tuned.
Many thanks to Gord Sleigh, who's photos provided great reference.
