The dual passions for cartoon art and classic cars have come together to inspire a humorous series of automotive artworks by Andrew Ritter. Be it a flying BMW 3.0 CSL 'Batmobile' at the Nürburgring or a rally Mini Cooper 'S' charging around Monte Carlo, Ritter's designs always make you smile, and his recent prints have been a sellout after gaining an enthusiastic following on Instagram.
Ritter has enjoyed drawing from an early age. "With a set of crayons, I'd be happy sketching a car or a rocketship," he explains. "When the Sunday papers arrived, there would always be a race to find the latest Calvin and Hobbes cartoon: Bill Watterson was an early hero of mine. The work of Pixar has also been an inspiration. The first Toy Story was a coming-of-age event and I enjoyed Luca, the latest film."
