Wayne Stadler

I have always loved just about anything that has wheels, and an engine to make it go.  The higher the performance level, the better.  Another love that I have always had has been doing art work.  

Formal Art Training

I wasn’t lucky enough to have any formal training based on designing automobiles.   My formal art training has always been along the lines of what most “normal” people consider to be “real” art work.  I especially put in a lot of time sculpting.  However, I’ve been cartooning for fun ever since I could hold a pencil.  I attempted my first mural at the tender age of four, with a black crayon, on the hallway wall of the house I grew up in.  

Cartooning

Cartooning is still mostly a hobby for me, but it has also become a part time second job that I’ve held for over (36) years.  New cartoon drawings will be added to this site on a regular basis, so check back often.

Personal

I’ve been happily married since Sept 1972  and have three great kids.  .

Love to Draw!

Once I seriously started drawing cartoon automobiles in about 1995, I found that I really love to draw cartoon cars, trucks, motorcycles etc.  I especially like drawing someone’s personal vehicle.  I call my drawings “Automotive Cartoon Portraits” or “CAR-icatures.”  
Drawing high performance cars, muscle cars, street rods, customs, racers, and even stockers in a cartoon format is in my DNA, I just can‘t stop. I don’t do realistic drawings so please don’t ask.  All of my drawings have at least some cartoon personality to them.
