For years I’ve worked in the motorcycle industry, using my skills as a product designer to create some of the most recognizable parts and accessories on earth. And even though I’ve been wildly successful, racking up dozens of patents and awards over the years, I never lost my passion as an artist or my love of classic cars. I still needed a creative outlet for my wild side to flourish.
And so, Maddk Studio was born.
On this site, you’ll find my heart and soul laid bare in stunning color. A place for you to find inspiration, wax nostalgic and perhaps commission a piece for yourself.
So … Browse the site and drop me a line if you are looking to get a custom piece created! ken@maddkstudio.com
Dad’s Town CarOne of my favorite pieces.11 X 14 Acrylic on canvas
I will create an artistic snapshot of the history of your vehicle. This will showcase your discerning eye. Together, we can craft an inspired layout. When we marry your concept to my high-level skills, this will culminate in a one-of-a-kind work to beautify your wall.
Your car is a custom piece of you. No matter where you are in life’s journey, this one thing, the car, is an important piece of your psyche and happiness. These are more than machines made of nuts and bolts. They too have a soul that only the special few can see, and ever fewer tame. I would say you deserve this reward for keeping the automotive culture alive and well.
A very unique color on this ’69 Porsche 912
I have created hundreds of portraits, consisting of a wide variety of cars over the last 30 years. Some of these custom pieces are priced beyond $10,000 & displayed in national shows, magazines, and online. Much of my artwork has been in the product design realm and with the patent office issuing me over 20 design patents, I have had great artistic success.
Dad’s Town Car
There are a few levels of work you can choose from. My most popular is the single-car rendering in markers and colored pencil on a 16″ x 20″ matte board. The vehicle is in full color with a line-drawn, muted background to allow the vehicle to be the “hero” of the piece.
Painting and drawing have been my bread and butter for over 35 years. Now I offer this to you for only $450 for an original 16 x 20″. For additional sizes simply email me and we can work out the details: ken@maddkstudio.com
That includes a frame and shipping!
