Ace art from Japan

I got in touch with Chitoshi Tamura from Japan recently and - without knowing it - I have been a fan of his work for a longer time. Under the name 'Smokey' (to his hero John 'Smokey' Rhodes), Chitoshi actually is the man who makes fantastic artwork for classic Mini magazines such as Mini Plus and Street Mini in Japan and MiniWorld in the UK. His style is crisp and simple and I often find the more basic his drawings are - the better they work out. See his blog for some great examples. The good thing is that he is into Mini derivatives, too, and below you find a few examples of Mini based sports cars he drew. Keep up the great work!
