About Brad...

.Brad has been drawing cars since he was a kid, and was always trying out new ideas whether on paper or while building those great old model kits in the 60’s. He continued his passion and went on to graduate from the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California with a major in Industrial Design and a minor in Automotive Illustration.

His work has been featured in many publications including Rod and Custom, Collectible Automobile, Chevy Truck, American Rodder and he was a regular contributing artist to Scale Auto Enthusiast for nearly 20 years giving and is currently a regular contributor to Model Cars Magazine which gives him the opportunity to explore many new ways of customizing vehicles.

Industrial Design

Having a background in Industrial Design gives Brad the skills to design any product, including automobiles, from the initial sketch to the finished product. Beginning with a concept and a list of necessary functions, the project moves from sketch form to projected finished product color comp drawings, then to the blueprint table. Once completed the piece goes to 3-D form, generally automotive styling clay, and then its on to the molders and fabricators for the finished product.

Although Brad has designed hundreds of custom cars for the model car builders, one must agree that his designs are more than just ideas, they can actually be built full scale!

You can see the inspiration for many of his designs are the great customs of the 1960’s and the courage to say “What if…?”
