So here is a little bit about me. My name is Jeff Allison, if you didn't already know, and I'm located in Spokane Washington. I have been drawing and designing cars since before I can remember, it's pretty much all I ever I did. I don't have any kind of schooling or degrees in art or design, but I do like to think I have over 30 years of experience.  I do this full time now, but that wasn't always the case. I spent 17 years with U.P.S. as a delivery and big rig driver. A few years ago I decided I had so much going on in my fun work (design) that I needed to quit U.P.S. and do art full time. In the short amount of time I have been "on the scene" I have accomplished a lot. I have had feature articles on my art in magazines like the Rodders Journal and had  regular design pages in mags like Garage and the K.O.A. Styleline.

    

         

I've also  had my work published in almost every rod or custom magazine that matters (that includes RnC, Hot Rod, Hop Up, Ol' Skool Rods, CK Deluxe and others) and been part of the re-design of the Goodguys Gazette, replacing all of the page headers and contributing design idea pages. Some of the rods I've been involved with have even gone on to greatness, cars like the Airflow 2010 that sold for a record setting $558,000 a few years ago or the R'evolution that is about to compete for the Riddler award. You may have seen some of my other work also, some of the T-shirts I do for Andys Tees or Speedway, or maybe the posters for some of the cooler shows like Billetproof. I can do almost anything you need!

I'm often told that my style is unique in that any decent  can build my ideas. I pride myself in not designing "fantasy" cars that cannot be built with out unlimited funds (although I do design some of that for myself, or you if you have unlimited funds). I'm also told that my work is fresh and different, because its almost all done by hand instead of computer, and because I was not "taught" how to design by the same hand full of teachers that have taught so many of the other designers out there. I'm a car guy through and through and love everything from vintage Kustoms and rods to modern day protype dreamcars, and everything in between. Every idea has to come from somewhere, so you have to appreciate and respect all of it. 

 

    

I work in full scale also and "attempt" to build what I design.... I gotta say this though, I'm much better with the pens and paper, than I am with the welder and mudd! I've had hundreds of cars over the years, some of them were even pretty nice. I've had my truck for quite a few years now, its a rare uni-body big window Ford I call the AbstractA. Its about the coolest junk hauler and dump run pick up you'll ever see. I also have a '56 Pontiac Safari wagon that I would like to finish one day. I guess one of the neatest cars I have ever owned was the Astra coupe. An all hand formed aluminum sports custom with heavy Barris ties built in 1951. Had to sell it though! If your building something or plan to keep this in mind, nobody builds a house or building with out a plan or drawings, so why build a car that way? The cost of some art to help decide if everything is going to be right is cheap when you compare it to redoing things that didn't work like they were thought to have worked.
