So with fluorescent colors on my mind, I mocked up a color study of positive and negative, high-contrast illustrations with fluorescent colors. I showed it to a friend who has a silk screen business and we decided to make a small run of silk screened prints, or “serigraphs.”

This was somewhere around ‘97 or ‘98 before I had this website. Then I moved in ‘99 and was down-sized from Mattel Mt. Laurel in 2001. (they have since completely closed) So between building 5 websites, an eBay store, doing my Vette Magazine and Kit Car magazine articles, I wasn’t thinking much about the silk screen prints I had made. Actually, I had completely forgotten about them.

I was moving some things around recently and found the two pieces shown above that I had put into poster frames. I also found a large envelope with a few prints inside. I found 24 prints of the 1966 A/Production Roadster and 4 prints of the 1963 A/Production Split Window Coupe.

The actual prints are oversized and were trimmed to fit into the 20” x 24” poster frames shown above.

I’ll admit that they are a little bit unusual. I always thought the ‘63 to ‘67 Corvettes were really tough looking in racing gear . The contrasting fluorescent inks and the color pattern made for an interesting look.
