Steve Erwin is a Cape Town based artist who specializes in painting classic and contemporary cars and bikes using a combination of mediums; stencil, air-brush, acrylics, water-colours, pens and pencils. He is a self-taught fine artist however is also a qualified interior designer with a B-tech from UJ specialising in 3D renderings.
Since 2016 he has primarily focussed on painting automotive vehicles, creating large and small scale commissions for his clients as well as personal passion projects.
“I have been drawing, painting and designing ever since I can remember, mostly automotive and mechanical things so it was a natural progression combined with skills and techniques I have learnt and will forever be perfecting over the years, to get to the point where I can offer top quality paintings that are truly works of art.”
He’s been featured in the August 2017 edition of Popular Mechanics SA and exhibited at numerous car shows such as the Cape Town Motor Show, Annual Classic Car and Bike Show and the Woodstock Moto Co Garage Built Show.
Original art works and prints are currently on display and sale at Dapper Coffee Co. and Club 9 Classic Cars in Cape Town.
In the space of only a few years he has created many bespoke commissions of beloved vehicles for his clients and continues to grow his portfolio and client base.
Original works and prints are available for purchase via his site.
Coastal Customs has built a solid reputation over the years as one of the top Custom Car building companies in SA. Walter and his team believe in quality and attention to detail over anything else. They have a lot of pride in the work that they do. Willem Dege from Namibia came to Coastal Customs after his project, a 1948 Chevy Thriftmaster pickup, had to be taken away from a shop due to bad workmanship. The company had charged him for work that had not been done to the car.
