This artist is not one that is commonly mentioned in the classical art world but he is a fantastic artist without question. Chip Foose is one of the biggest names in the custom car fabrication world and he even has his own TV show and brand. Chip Foose was an artist early on in his years and started working with his father in his company, Project Design. By age twelve, Chip already had five years experience under his belt, and had also painted his first car, a Porsche 356. In a chance meeting from Alex Tremulus, the designer of the "Tucker", was Chip's motivation to attend Art Center, where he majored in automotive product design and graduated in 1990 with honors. Much of his career has been centered around the automotive world. "Chip and his wife Lynne started their Huntington Beach, California based company Foose Design, an automotive and product design Development Company. His company specializes in illustration, graphics, ideation model making, surfacing and complete construction of automobiles and automotive related products."(http://www.chipfoose.com/) His TV show, Overhaulin' is a show where him and a team of highly skilled fabricators, painters, mechanics, autobody techs, etc. all take an old car for a week and transform it into a true piece of automotive beauty. When he begins working on a car he creates drawings of what the final project will look like.
