El Lobito Illustration
My uncle has a fully restored 1962 Chevy Nova convertible with a slick silver paint finish and black leather interior. It took years of work to complete the renovation from its original state and the end result is impressive. Since its restoration, it has been featured in several car shows and has won trophies every time. He asked me to create a logo for some screen printed t-shirts that would say something about who he was and set him apart from the crowd at these shows. The wolf represents the nickname he was given by his father as a kid, "Lobito". The cross on the wolf's arm is a rendition of his own tattoo. The gear, wrench and checkered flag are all symbols of his interest in classic car culture.
