Solved: Guess The Artist - by All. #2 - Reid Miles and the Jaguar E-Type
« on: November 11, 2009, 01:45:18 PM »


This is a hard one, thus straightly to the pros.
There are 2 points to score: for one safe point you have to identify the artist.
(In this case I've widened a bit the concept of the traditional artist)
After that you have 3 days time to find the related car for another point.
(it's not the one which is shown on the pic  ;))
If the clock has run down everyone get the chance to steal...

Still, allow me to ask a question about THIS car. Is it a Cadillac (despite those strange wheelcovers)?

No!
The profession of the artist is slightly encoded in my last post.

Completely different business! And I wouldn't call the Marlboro man an artist.

We still haven't pinpointed his trade: graphic designer or illustrator (or even photographer)?

He was a famous graphic designer (In that particular genre he was the most famous I suppose).
The photos of his drafts were made by another man.
