Porsche Guild of Artists
Collaboration #1

On August 23, 2026 I published an article and made a post speculating about creating a Guild of artists that have a fondness for Porsches. I originally titled it the “Porsche Guild of Artists” . Out of the six artists that I tagged and outlined in the article four responded with thanks and enthusiasm.

One of the artists, John “Swede” Strell of Swede Studios USA, suggested we do a group collaboration post. The idea was to pick a reference photo (see last slide) and have each of the artists interpret it in their style. No rules. There are no rules in art.

The first four GOPA artist in collaboration are:

John “Swede” Strell / Swede Studios USA
Erville / Erville Official
Bob Mochizuki / Luftart
Jim Phillips / Squash Beetle Arts

For my interpretation, I chose to focus on the fragment of the car that I felt best captures its unique personality and character.

My goal was to impart a strong sense of motion, light, and color—to really capture the spirit and energy of this amazing subject piece.

I hope you all enjoy it! I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone’s work and, eventually, sharing our collective effort together.

All the best,

John

Erville

Porsche 964 in the canyon...

Erville illustrates the life of Meowseph and friends in differently distinctively drawn Porsches (and other incredible vintage autos).

Luftart

“I wanted to capture the clean, juicy beauty of Naveed’s tastefully executed 964”

Bob Mochizuki is a talented automotive artist who works in the industry. You can clearly see his Art Center experience in all of his memorable images. He also produces really rad original art Porsche themed t-shirts.

This simple digital illustration captures the green 964 with a vignette of one of the very photogenic buildings that serve as backdrops for the monthly EASY Porsche meet-up that has been meeting on the first Saturday of the month for about 40 years.
