I finally finished my piece of James Dean on his last drive.

I'm calling it "Immortality", and it's done in mixed media.

The background is acrylic on 70 year-old unused canvas board (my dad's); Dean and his mechanic are in pen&ink and archival markers on illustration board, on which I also illustrated the wheels using Prismacolor pencils.
The Porsche 550 is on actual 18-gauge sheet aluminum, which I engraved, sanded, painted on with oil model paint and pen&ink, cut out, filed and sanded, and finished in gloss varnished.

The Porsche is about a 1/4" off the canvas ...

I included part of a quote of his that I found appropriate for this.

The size of the piece is 16"x 12" (40.6cm x 30.5cm).
I'll be having it framed in a black floating frame ...

What do you think? I've attached a Quicktime movie of it that shows how it's in 3D.

Cheers!
Paul
