I had to catch a bus this week - for the 1st time in decades. It was bloody lovely. Comfy seats, charging points for your whatnots, and it talked. Nothing like the old bone-rattlers of the ’80s & ’90s. It inspired me to vector the shit out of one. #Manchester #bus #art

A colourful, vector illustration of a B.Y.D Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 double-decker bus-caricature in the yellow livery of the Greater Manchester Bee Network. Complete with oversized wheels and distorted proportions.
The background is a cartoon depiction of Bury Interchange, featuring a pedestrian crossing, traffic barriers & glass bus stands.

I used to love driving HGVs. I miss the fact that having bigger wheels than most things on the road, and more of them, automatically gives you right of way in any situation. Anyway, I call this one, "Motorway Services". Can you guess why? #trucks #truckart

Watercolour art. Three lorry caricatures parked in HGV parking bays at the motorway services...which sounds like the start of a bad joke.
The 1st truck in a Greene King liveried DAF LF. It has a green and white cab with a red and cream Old Speckled Hen Pale Ale branded trailer.
Truck 2 is a yellow Volvo FM Electric with DHL branding.
The 3rd truck is an Amazon Prime jobby. A Mercedes Benz Actros. It has a light blue trailer with a Welsh Blue Slate coloured cab. At least. I think that's the cab colour. I might be wrong.

I loved Capris. The only one I actually owned was a 78 or 79 3.0L Ghia MK3 that I bought in early 90s. It was fuct. It was 14 yrs old, didn't have an MOT, and wasn't insured. It set on fire on the way to Rhyl in the end. RIP. #carart #fordcapri #classiccars

In 2009, just for fucks, Aston Martin decided to make a city car with Toyota, presumably after smoking some good shit.Toyota made the car then sent it to AML. Aston fitted a nicer interior, slapped on a grille,& added a couple of zeros to the price.Only made for 2 yrs...then they sobered up. #carart

The Manchester, UK cityscape background features a tram heading towards the city, and high rise buildings mixed with older Victorian architecture.

The 1986 Fleetwood Bounder from Breaking Bad. The Crystal Palace, or whatever it was called. The Fleetwood Bounder carried on the long American tradition of giving their vehicles stupid names.

Next up is a 90s Daimler XJ40 limo photographed at a jaunty angle, presumably to make it look sporty and a bit "mental". It definitely has a split personality; the eagle eyed amongst you will notice it has Daimler rims and a Jaguar hood ornament. Crazy times.

Going back to the 80s with this one. The peak of the "hot hatch" era. This 1985 FIAT Ritmo Abarth 130 TC (the FIAT Strada Abarth in the UK) was one of the quickest around. They pissed all over the Golf GTI. #carart
