# About me
Car Art by Millar
Houston, Texas
I have lived in Houston, Texas since the mid 1960’s. I love the automobile, especially those of the muscle car era. The thunder of the exhaust, the smell of burning rubber, and the need for speed offers that rush of adrenaline that routine daily life cannot offer.
The images portrayed in the art are not just about the automobiles, but the culture that has evolved around them, namely the human factor. Many of the images reflect the enthusiasm of the car cruises and shows, the restorations, the barn finds, the spirit of competition, and the joy that common everyday people find through their romance with the automobile.
Most of the photography presented in these galleries was created from photos taken at local car events in and around Houston, Texas. If you are from the area and happen to own an old car, you may see your car in one of the photos.
If you see something you like, but prefer a different format, please leave your request. I will try to accommodate you if at all possible.
If you are interested in booking a personal session for your vehicle to be transformed into wall art, please contact us through email at amillar1@yahoo.com.
Thank you for stopping by!
Please feel free to critique what you see here. Always looking for suggestions on what you like best (or don't like).

Oh no, not again! Oh god, I'm nearing my expiration date!
Thanks Deviant for announcing to the world that today is my birthday. Now, everyone’s asking, where’s the party? D*mn! Now what?
I truly appreciate your awesome and heart catching wordings in your birthday greetings, I know few of my friends write genuine wishes and many of you just do a copy paste job from the internet.
Regardless of how many years pass by, I will never throw my cell phone away simply because it has your wishes in it. Thanks for such sweet words.

You're very welcome. I'm glad you like it. I have been trying to capture the beauty of the old cars along with the architecture of the past before it is lost forever. I am hoping to head out this year on another adventure down the old highways to photo more vintage gas stations, diners, motels, and whatever else I can find that would make great background settings for the cars. I have identified a couple hundred locations so far just in Texas and already planned the first trip, programming all the data into my phone with google map directions to each location. It should be a good trip. I'm trying to get some friends to go with their classic cars too. Wouldn't that be an adventure?

It sounds like something worthy, being turned into a TeleVision OR Video Show! (less expensive) 'HOOOAAH!
(You may even make a profit by it!)

geez lovely work portfolio you have there Andy. mate you sure have an eye for a great shot............ looking forward to seeing more of your work !!!

Thank you very much for the complement. I'm glad you like the work. I think the secret is to take lots of shots from many angles. I wish that the Niftee 50ees car show where I take most of the photos would be earlier in the day or at a location without the trees along side. Too often I get long shadows across the subject and it destroys the shot. But out of a couple hundred photos, I do usually find half a dozen that will inspire me to create a portrait. By the way, I love your bouncing gif.

Just keep in mind it may not be your version of PS, but if you root around you can probably find on your version.
When cutting out, I only use the pen tool and lots of patience. It takes me about 45 minutes to cut out the T-Buckets with all the exposed frame and engine. I cut out all the glass as well and go back in and add a layer of tint, fade it out, add a little shine in spots with some white, fade it out, add field blur, and finally a little noise. Then make sure it doesn't have edge around it that can be seen.
All I need to do now is to find someone that wants to buy the prints. HAHAHAHAHA!!
