artist Ken Dallison, selected for a kickstarter book campaign, which was successful to make a book of his many illustrations, and $50 was the price of a book

At the age of nineteen I started sketching during my lunch hours around the US embassy in Grosvenor square London. Intrigued by the great shapes of the American cars like the Studebaker, Cadillac.

Moving with my wife and children to New York, Gene Butera saw my sketches of automobiles and gave me my first assignment in Car and Driver magazine. My career developed from there.

Cycle magazine, Yachting, Redbook, Esquire Sports Illustrated National Geographic Smithsonian and Air and Space.

Twenty eight US postal stamps. Commercial clients include American Airlines Boeing US army Navy and Air force. Mercedes Benz Toyota Honda General Motors Chrysler. Indianapolis speedway.
