Juanma is Creating Lightly 🎨🖌😬

🚗🖌️ Are you ready to give the steering wheel up? I have THOUGHTS, after some discussions here and there, as well as some idea opening challenges from @ajpbradley.bsky.social and @dsgolson.bsky.social weeks back (shared in the article). You can enjoy it in your inbox now. Otherwise, check this out 👇

QOTD: Which is your favourite classic car badge? I'm building a collection of photos with classic (and classy) car badges as subject to share on Living Cars soon. This first one always cracks me up 😝 But there are beauties like the second one, too. Join Living Cars: go.creatinglightly.art/join

I swear it says "soo super fast"😂❤️

The Stratos sticker: so wonderfully 1970s!

I miss the old rampant lion Peugeot logo. The recent redesign to the shield may have historical roots, but it's so bland and generic-looking.

There will be more than one Thunderbird badge in the newsletter 🔥

For me it has to be the 'Double Six' badge on a Daimler. Why be boring and say 'V12' when you can say 'Double Six' 🥰 'Sovereign' also a great choice!

At this rate, I hope Xbox executives know how to create games. What a clown show.

Some of Lancias efforts in the 1950s and 60s were just wonderful. Delicate and beautifully styled.

A little more retro than classic but hell it's been 37 years that's long enough

Call the fire department

Yesterday was a special day. It's the first time in years that I didn't feel like organising something for my birthday. Too many things in the head. Luckily, the best wife ever lives in my home, so she sorted stuff out for me. I won't tell you how old, but my freehand practice gives you a hint.

Have you ever thought that the steering wheel could "not be round"? Peugeot certainly thinks so, and I was surprised by people who tried this, mentioning that this approach could be similar to when the power steering was introduced. You wouldn't buy a new car without power steering, would you? 👀

Did you ever think the Clio V6 was too big and had too few cylinders? They did too. Hot damn 🔥 Meet the Twingo V8 Trophy. 3.5-litre Rover V8 behind the front seats. No back seats. Rear-wheel drive. Five-speed manual. Huge arches and 320mm-wide rear tyres. www.instagram.com/p/DemmElaCFGG

I would really love it if you let me know YOUR thoughts on this. It took me a while to wrap mine around and had fun challenging myself and my own preconceptions 😌 I hope you do too by reading it! It would mean the world if you shared this with a friend. Thanks for being there! 🫶

New works from “Every Being Has a Spirit” series. Every animal has its expression and character. Every life has something real and delicate within it. I love these different souls, trying to hold onto them with lines. #shouxinsketch #petart #animalart #illustrationartists #sketch #sketchdaily

So cool to have a magazine with an article about your car. Even cooler if it was an article by Ant. Does someone want to do an article on my car before I sell it? Hit me up 😂
