I'll Show You My Grills!

about Classic Grills

I love the look of car grills. From the really old to the ultra modern cars of today, but the best of the grills are the classics. I always wanted to run a continuous line art design and I was able to find my chance mixed with my love of car grills. Starting with a classic Ford Mustang and running down all the way to a classic Ferrari. Can you name them all?

I've always liked grills... nice collection.

Anyone know why I might be having a problem posting a blog about a product?

catdogpigduck on Jun 12 '06 at 2:57pm

This isn't going to be one of those stories where the person turns out to richard nixon is it?

congratulations, bortwein - I know how fond you were of this design.

It's nice to have that sort of validation in life, I'm sure. I mean, I assume.

CharlesFesta on Jun 12 '06 at 3:42pm

bortwein on Jun 12 '06 at 5:23pm

YES

They Call Me Special K on Jun 13 '06 at 12:32am

only new print i bought today.

telaine on Jun 13 '06 at 12:49am

congrats :) I'm on the verge of buying this for my dad, too, but he's a Ford hater so I'm checking with him first. He's actually a huge car guy, works at a GM dealership and repairs/rebuilds vehicles at home for fun. I'm hoping he can look past the Mustang grill!

eskimokiss on Jun 13 '06 at 1:16am

good stuff bortmiester!

congratueffinlations dude

sonmi on Jun 13 '06 at 1:28am

in layout it may be similar to radios and rayguns, but it's such a considered and well-executed design that it would have been silly not to print. good job bort!

bortwein on Jun 14 '06 at 7:51am

telaine: How'd it go? Did your dad give the ok to buy it? (I think at least one other grill is a ford in there)

Sonmi and eskimokiss: Thanks

telaine on Jun 14 '06 at 9:11am

... still waiting for an e-mail back ... I'd call him but he'd have to go online anyway to check out the design :)

Just curious, are all the grills from authentic cars models or did you embellish a little? For example, I obviously can ID the 'stang but not the others right off the bat.

bortwein on Jun 14 '06 at 9:20am

All the grills are based closely to a real classic grill from a classic or custom car.

5115 on Jun 14 '06 at 9:25am

well done bort, i knew they'd print this

Yea. I kinda got the idea they were going to print it from Shimala and Charlie coming out in the blogs and talking about how they loved it.

5115 on Jun 14 '06 at 9:28am

Odd question. Is this the first of any of the Pinche Uno designs to print?

I think so bort-weiner! Congrats again, though you still have no nose!
