Sweet! Gott'a love the 1957 Cadillac! I like the close cropped composition. This particular view of the old Caddys gets done a lot, but...

Wow! I like the composition with the car filling the picture plane at an interesting angle. The aggressive stance adds a lot of intere...

Daniel G. Storm
Artist
United States
My name is Daniel Storm, and I am a starving car artist living in the St. Louis metropolitan area.

In the late eighty’s and early ninety’s, I was an illustrator working on projects for GM and Ford. I ran the illustration program at the GM plant in Wentzville, Missouri, my second year there. After a few years of marketing for McDonald’s, I went back to Ford as a regular employee at their St. Louis Assembly Plant in Hazelwood, Missouri.

When the plant closed in 2006, I took an “Educational Buyout” from Ford. I went back to school and obtained an Associates Degree in Illustration. I am now creating a body of work so I can have my own web site.

On my gallery here I have elected to post all of my school work, including my process work, followed by my car sketches, finished drawings and paintings.

In the spring of 2011 i was hired by Trader Joe's as a sign artist. I cannot say enough about Trader Joe’s. It is a wonderful place to work! My wife, Nancy, and i have been fans of Trader Joe’s for years, and i like them all the more now that i work for them. I can honestly say that i look forward to going into work every shift. It’s a high energy place full of friendly people of all kinds, and i really feel good about the products that they sell there. I am very lucky to work for them.

Current Residence: St. Louis, Missouri, United States
Favourite genre of music: Just about everything
Operating System: I Mac OS X
Favourite cartoon character: Felix The Cat
Personal Quote: Everyone complains about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it. M.Twain
Interests
Happy March a bit late! Almost halfway through the month. As of today, Tuesday, March 13th, there are only eight days left till the Vernal Equinox! Yay Spring! :snowing: Yay to no snow! Yay for hot weather and car shows! And we are also only eighteen days from baseball! :)

Got back from Santa Monica, and what a wonderful trip we had! Got a lot of great shots of people on the beach that i am anxious to sketch!

On Sunday, March 10th we celebrated several family birthdays in March with a big family get together at our place...and my almost two year old Grandson wore me out! And then on Tuesday the 12th i turned sixty years old. Wow! Made it to Sixty!
Other than a sense of urgency to get paintings on the way that have been in my head for years, i do not feel a bit different.

In my StormPix account, i have posted a beautiful 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix Two Door Coupé that i shot at the Chesterfield Car Show on September 4th, 2010.
Feel free to use this as stock in any drawings or paintings you might want to try with it. :)

How to make DA work for YOU! by ^kkart
:iconkkart: "How can I get my images seen on DA?", "How come no one ever comments on my work?", "Why doesn't anyone like my work", "How come no one fav's my work or watches me?".  These are the questions =kkart answers in his journal at this link... [link] . Great ideas and information from a guy who knows what he is talking about and who has been around the block a couple'a times. If you are new here or have been here a while and feel like you are going nowhere fast...then you need to read his article!

Hey! My wife is on DA! Nancy has her own DA account now! She is Storm52, :iconstorm52: and you can visit her by hitting this link... [link]
