Cool Reflections More than meets the eye Hot new Challenger Checking the time "Six Pack Salute" Signed limited edition of 800
One of Michael's most color-intense paintings, it features Mopars from 1967 through 1971, including the powerful GTX's, Road Runners, Super Bees, Chargers, Cudas, and a Challenger! With it's reflection-in-a reflection-in-a-reflection, this painting is as much of a head-turner as the cars it pays tribute to! I've been fascinated by these cars since I was a kid, because of their race-car look. The wind alone must have drawn some attention. I'm guessing a lot of them were pulled over 'just because'. I can imagine how the dialogue might have gone: 'If it's not a race car, what's the wing for?' 'Um, well officer, I heard it's for keeping the back end stable at over 200 mph...but I can't be sure, 'cause my speedometer only goes to 150.' Michael Irvine

"Always Room For One More" Signed limited edition of 800
I wanted to create a tribute to all the car enthusiasts of the past that were compelled by the need for speed, to preserve and maintain these pieces of American history and for abiding by the car lovers unwritten motto: 'There's always room for one more!' Description and more artist's comments "Big Blocks Behind the Barn" Signed limited edition of 800
Who hasn't dreamed about making the
ultimate "car in a barn" discovery - finding that hidden treasure,
just off the beaten path. We've all heard the stories about super-rare
cars, in great condition, found tucked away somewhere in a barn. "They Came With The Farm" Signed limited edition of 800
Imagine, you just purchased a property and you go exploring only to stumble across the find of your dreams...over 20 of the most incredible muscle cars, ever! There are Birds and Bees and heavy hitting R/Ts! The setting, brilliant colors and incredible detail draw you into this legendary story. All the cars, from the GTX to the Daytona, are in great shape - a buff and a shine, and you've got a gold-mine! There are Road Runners, 'Cudas, Chargers and Challengers, but look closely at the reflections, and you'll discover even more! "Shakin' Up the Street" Signed limited edition of 800
In this painting you're right in the middle of the pack, racing up the street - part of the action. Combining several cars in one view presented a challenge in both scale and perspective. Michael chose a single point perspective for creating the dramatic streetscape. To draw attention to the Shakers, he aligned all of the hood scoops along the horizon line - positioning the red Mach 1's Shaker directly on the vanishing point. In the two years of production, the Mach 1 was available in 8 colors. In Michael's signature use of reflections, all 8 colors are represented. "New to the Chase" Signed limited edition of 2001
Ride alongside the Bullitt as it races over the top of a hill, it's airborne, about to hit the asphalt! Just down the hill, Frank's '68 Fastback is closing in on the Charger. The chase is on! The body panels of the 2001 Bullitt reflect the scene on the street (including the Bullitt's other 2 paint colors - blue and black) as these powerful machines tear up the road. Whether you're a mustang enthusiast, a Bullitt owner or a movie buff, this print is a must have! "End of the Line" Signed limited edition of 800
If you like these movies: "Vanishing Point", "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry", "Diamonds are Forever", "Gone in 60 Seconds" and "Bullitt" - you'll love this painting. Whether it's Mustangs or Mopar, movies or muscle cars, car chases or classic cop cars, this incredibly detailed painting has it all. Taking inspiration from car classics of the silver screen, Michael has created a montage of not only the muscle behind the magic, but also the final location where each chase came to an end. Look closely at the background, can you see where the action ended? "The General's Stars Have
Stripes" Signed limited edition of 792
With their bold, vibrant colors, black stripes and aggressive stance, these 1st Generation Camaros stand tall at the General Motors Proving Grounds. The 1967, '68, '69 and '70 truly are the 'stars' of the track. "Flashback on the Track" Signed limited edition of 800
The energy in the air at the Nashville Super Speedway during the 40th Anniversary Show was incredible. This painting captures the excitement and awe of this incredible event. Bringing back the glory days of past, the 2005's reflection in the wall is that of the 1967 GT. From the showfield, where the rows of Mach1s and Bullitts seem to never end, the spectators watch the track eagerly. The infield is lined with vintage trans-am racers. This vibrant painting pays tribute to, and immortalizes Mustangs both old and new.
