I have some of his work. Absolutely wonderful! He really captures the soul of
our cars.

Hello Mike,
I am glad you know Bow (the pen name of a bearded Japanese gentleman).
There indeed is a compilation of some of his works, called "Sportscar 185
Illustrations," actually cover illustrations for Car Magazine and available
from that publication. This a fantastic, very high quality hardbound book,
with one illustration per page (one side only), suitable for framing, all of
classic sports cars. The Ferrari 206SP, 246GT, 911, Fiat Abarth, DBR/1.
280SL, 300SL, GT350, 289 Cobra, Mini Cooper, and Corvette are all there,
among many, many others. Lotus (and the Lancia Stratos, which seems to have
more than its fair share of pages) are a favorite of the artist - the book
has all the classic Lotus road cars: a red over white Elan S4, a BRG "racing
Elan," Europa, Elite (14), and Seven. This is one of my favorite books,
and I keep a copy at the office just in case a good break from the tedium is
required! Comes in a slipcase.
Highly recommended.
