How Fireball HOT WHEELS were LOST forever…

Due to unforeseen circumstances and sibling rivalry, MY HOT WHEELS WERE SOLD in 1977. Nothing more painful for a kid than when you find out that ALL your Hot Wheels were sold at a family Garage Sale, but it happened. (I’m sure there are other more painful things that happen to kids, but you get my point.) It was bad…

My Collection included many FIRST EDITION REDLINES from 1968-1975. Cars that are worth a fortune now. And ever since then, I’d pick one up… only to sell it later. And I realized that the ONLY Diecast worth Collecting for me was FILM & TV CARS. It’s my passion, my drive… and actually my JOB as I’ve gotten to design many cars in film on many movies and TV Shows.

But now… I GET TO SKETCH THEM TOO! So today, we celebrate more DIECAST with this NEW HOT WHEELS SILHOUETTE Canvas Piece IN THE GARAGE! And as I write this, my phone just dingled and a young enthusiast in ILLINOIS just bought a JONNY QUEST Mug outta the store. Another example of connecting with nostalgia that gave us a GOOD FEELING. Thus, the LAW OF ATTRACTION constantly at work. GIVE GOOD, GET GOOD. Keep it up, people!

As always, 10% of everything IN THE GARAGE and in our EBAY STORE goes to DOG RESCUES!

The REAL POWER behind SKETCHING AWESOME HOT WHEELS…

In the realm of DIECAST CAR enthusiasts, there exists a fervent passion for Hot Wheels, transcending mere toys to become cherished collectibles. Among these, the TWIN MILL stands as a shining GOLD example of automotive craftsmanship, igniting the flames of fascination among collectors worldwide. Beyond its metal chassis and intricate details lies a deeper and cooler allure, intertwined with the mystical LAW OF ATTRACTION.

At first glance, the Twin Mill is a masterpiece of design, boasting a sleek, futuristic coat that captivates the eye. Its twin engines busting from the hood evoke a sense of power and speed. But the true magic, like all diecast lies in the stories they weave and the connections they foster.

The Twin Mill Phenomenon…

Collectors are drawn to the Twin Mill not just for its aesthetic appeal, but for the memories it invokes. For many, it evokes nostalgia, transporting them back to their childhood days spent racing diecast cars across makeshift tracks. Others are enamored by its rarity, understanding that owning such a prized piece adds prestige to their collection. Yup.

Yet, there’s a deeper dimension to the allure of collecting Diecast Hot Wheels, one that transcends the physical realm. It’s the Law of Attraction at play—the belief that like attracts like. As collectors immerse themselves in the world of Hot Wheels, their passion intensifies, drawing them deeper into the community of enthusiasts.

Through social media groups, forums, and collectors events, individuals with a shared love for Diecast Cars converge, forming bonds that go beyond mere hobbyists and to build concrete bonds. They exchange stories, share tips for finding rare pieces, and celebrate each new addition to their collections. In this shared space, the energy of passion is palpable, fueling a continuous cycle of attraction.

Today’s TWIN MILL SKETCH serves as a focal point for this magnetic force, attracting collectors who are drawn to its mystique and allure. As enthusiasts immerse themselves in the world of Diecast Hot Wheels, their passion grows exponentially, guided by the invisible threads of the Law of Attraction. For some, completely UNAWARE of it’s workings.

In the end, the value of collecting Diecast Hot Wheels goes beyond monetary worth—it’s about the connections forged, the memories cherished, and the joy of pursuing a shared passion. And at the heart of it all lies the Twin Mill, a symbol of the limitless possibilities that await those who dare to dream and believe in the POWER of ATTRACTION.

If POISON IVY had a Car… it’d be this CUSTOM HOT WHEELS

As a stable, MOVIE HEROES and VILLAINS need cars. (Most of the time). But my job as a Concept Artist in film is to marry those characters to a particular type of car. Even if they never had one before. So today, I snagged my SKETCH of this HOT WHEELS MERCURY CUSTOM COUGAR and gave it a driver. Her name? POISON IVY!!

This is the Comic Version of PI, but I think it’d be fun to see her outrun the cops in Gotham in this car! But if you’re into HOT WHEELS as I am, check out all of the cool SKETCHES in my store and GET YOUR GROOVE ON!

It started with CORGI, DINKY, HOT WHEELS & MATCHBOX…

No one in my family liked CARS but me. It was MY thing. And every year for CHRISTMAS or my BIRTHDAY, they showed up. It was the time of rubber wheels, speed, parts, tracks and so much more. After Montesorri, my Mom would take me across the street to THE GENERAL STORE so I could pick out a Matchbox… in the BOX. I’d sweep for hours so I could get a few bucks for HOT WHEELS and WACKY PACKAGES. My Grandma Mimi gave me English Dinkys and Corgis… probably because my Mom told her to, as Mimi never really talked to me. She was Weird. Imagine not conversing with your grandkids.

What was my favorite? The one I was playing with under our massive Olive Tree. No Diecast Discrimination here. All are equal.
