I’ve thoroughly enjoyed fellow Loud Cloud all star Caitlin Kuhwald’s illustrations for the Rides column Talkin’ Crash in recent months so I was pleased to have a chance to work on their AUTObiography column which profiles seminal figures in auto history. This month? Charles Kettering, inventor of the electric starter! As every art student knows, the unattractive models are the most interesting to draw and I had a great deal of fun with Mr. Kettering’s sagging features. The three piece suit and round framed glasses (an echo of mad scientist goggles?) were a bonus.
