Manage episode 520054747 series 3467873
We’re joined by automotive artist Ian Cook this week. Better known as Pop Bang Colour, he produces artwork using model cars instead of brushes, and has created paintings at motoring events for almost 20 years. He even painted a giant Lewis Hamilton for Reebok, earning a Guinness World Record in the process.
In a similar fashion to last episode’s guest, Ian remembers identifying parts of cars from the back seat of his parents Metro, he could even work out a vehicle by its tail lights at night.
They travelled to France in the Metro, but him and his brother had to be in separate cars to stop them fighting!
His Uncle was a Car Designer for Rover, which meant the entire family had one… for cheap! His Uncle had the MG Metro Turbo.
Another Uncle had a Chevette, which Ian now owns. Each Christmas they would go to the model shop to pick a new slot car.
We hope you enjoy this one, please check out Ian’s work here.
