eGarage Takes a Look at the Work of Prolific Hot Rod Artist Steve Stanford
The man who spawned an art style.
In the world of the hyper-contoured hot rod illustrations, automotive artist Steve Stanford’s unfailing dedication to precision has made him a giant in those circles. His gift for instilling the cars with a fervor that makes even those most familiar with them see them in a new light has made him a consistent favorite among builders and enthusiasts, who commission his work both as designs to manifest and as inspirations. YouTube automotive channel eGarage went to an exhibition held in Stanford’s name at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles to talk to the artist about his artistic style and philosophy on talent, as well as his closest companions on what makes him such a looming figure in hot rod culture. Watch the video above and head here for more of Stanford’s work.
