Von Hot Rod Cartoon Metal Sign - 11" x 14"

This black-and-white cartoon artwork centers on bold hand-lettered hot rod typography, surrounded by exaggerated pinstriping, smoke-puff characters, and a grinning tiki-style figure. In the foreground, a sunglasses-wearing painter with a tall mohawk works a striping brush against the side of a custom car, with paint cans and a tool box at his feet. The composition has the energy of garage sketch art and hot rod culture, with thick ink lines, white negative space, and aged tan distressing that gives it a worn shop-wall look. It lands somewhere between retro illustration and hand-painted sign art, making it a standout piece for collectors of vintage metal car signs without trying to look polished or modern.
