This is one. Unlike the photos I usually take, when I review them, I&#8217;m not moved like I was seeing the car first hand. Not, NOT true with this piece from photographer Tim Sutton with finishing by Coby Gewertz (of Church fame). Even more amazing? They were giving these away! Did you get one?<\/p>\n<p>So I asked Coby about the poster and how it was made. (Alert! Learning opportunity here&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what Coby told me&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Transforming a Hot Rod Photo:<\/h3>\n<p>Rick Dore called and said he needed someone to design a poster for James&#8217; Zephyr in a hurry. I agreed to do it after hours from my day job under the condition that he had decent photography. It needed to be done in 3 days so they would have time to get it printed in time for the GNRS.<a class=\"highslide\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/James-hetfield-1937-Lincoln-Zephyr.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[19166]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19167\" style=\"border-image: initial; margin: 4px; border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"Poster of Metallica's James Hetfield's 1937 Zephyr\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/James-hetfield-1937-Lincoln-Zephyr.jpg\" border=\"2\" alt=\" James Hetfield, 1937 Zephyr, Lincoln Zephyr\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" width=\"575\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He sent me 3 pics Tim Sutton had taken for Rod and Custom and away I went. I retouched all the reflections out of the car, added a new one, changed the sky, the horizon line, added ground and did some type. It was super classy (I thought) to go with the tastefulness of the car. Rick LOVED it&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19167\" style=\"border-image: initial; margin: 4px; border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"Poster of Metallica's James Hetfield's 1937 Zephyr\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/James-hetfield-1937-Lincoln-Zephyr2.jpeg\" border=\"2\" alt=\" James Hetfield, 1937 Zephyr, Lincoln Zephyr\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" width=\"575\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But&#8230; James had a different vision.\u00a0He wanted it darker, more sinister and with fire coming up from the bottom. It sounded pretty lame, and I didn&#8217;t want my name attached to a cheezy poster.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to take one crack at it using James&#8217; suggestions, but doing it with my sensibilities. If they didn&#8217;t like it, then perhaps I wasn&#8217;t the guy for the job. I emailed them a version, James was a happy camper and I sent it to the printer. I&#8217;ve never seen the printed piece.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m guessing James was happy because he asked me to do another poster for his 53 buick. They should be available at the Sacramento show this weekend. In the end,\u00a0I was very happy with the outcome despite my initial hesitation to James&#8217; comments.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the finished piece again.
