Rolex 2021, before and after.

Good riddance 2020. Who thought 2021 was going to be better?  There is still time yet.

My now annual Rolex24 post covering liveries racing at Daytona this year. After a quiet spring and summer, projects did pick up as we entered the end of the year and the (later) climax of various race seasons, which made up for earlier this year and for that I am truly thankful!
I created many sponsorship proposals which never saw the light of day. As you can imagine, obtaining sponsorship from companies during these crazy time, especially if said company had to lay off or furlough staff has been hard.

Andy Blackmore Design at 2020 Rolex 24

The so-called ‘off’ season has been anything but here. My first 2020 livery comission came in early September with various discussions months before that and there has been no let up since.

My first full weekend off will actually be the weekend of the Rolex 24 when I’ll be miles away from Daytona watching from BC, Canada.

It has been a great year so far and I will endeavor to update the website more often in 2020, but for now a quick over view on the various liveries and art at the Rolex 24.

GEAR Racing powered by GRT Grasser

I have worked with GEAR’s Mark Ruggieri on a number of sponsorship proposals in recent months. Just before Christmas, the team decided to make a big entrance at the ROAR with a one off livery. I had two days to pull something together, if I was going to accept the challenge.

To be honest, I was already overloaded, but I’ve had an idea for a Pop-Art style ‘Art Car’ for a few years, but as its not very corporate friendly, there was never the right opportunity until now.

Official IMSA Spotter Guide released for Rolex24

The Official #IMSA Spotter Guide for the Rolex is now available to download on sister site,  SpotterGuides.com

Quite a few ‘first looks’ including my updated Chupacabra.

If you are going to the race, there will be printed booklets available (they went to print over the weekend, so aside from updated #9 Pfaff and #29 Land liveries, pretty much complete).

Online guide will be updated with any changes later this week.

Thanks to IMSA and almost every team for helping out. 96 illustrations including 11 of my own liveries.

MASSIVE thanks to Shea Adam and Paul Marquart for proof reading. They discovered pretty quick which I color in for a living

This was a beast to produce!

2017 IMSA Spotter Guide is now live

The Official 2017 IMSA Spotter Guide is now available to download at its own dedicated page at sister site, SpotterGuides.com. The guide will also be available at the events section of IMSA.com

New regs, new cars, new liveries and lots of new driver combination makes the Official Spotter Guide a must. The guide will be updated later in the week with any driver or livery additions (probably after Tech is completed). Livery wise, all except Rebellion have previously been confirmed.

If you are at the circuit, a printed guide/program will be available later in the week.

The guide also features a number of my own liveries.

Thanks to the teams for their help with reference of the guides, to IMSA of course, the proof readers and you for downloading and sharing the guide!

 

2017 IMSA Spotter Guide release schedule

I will be partnering with IMSA again in 2017 to produce their Official Spotter Guide for the series. This will be released in print form (at the track) and online at SpotterGuides.com

The online guide will be available here, at SpotterGuides.com, and a smaller size version at IMSA.com from Tuesday 24th January. This will be kept updated during the week.

The guide will be updated prior to each event and the plan is to have this online on the Monday before the race from Round 2 (Sebring).
