Fifty years later, my dark tribute/revisiting of the movie, "Rebel Without A Cause," filmed in 1955, by 20th Century/Warner Brothers, starring Indiana's own, James Dean (actor)...movie also including Natalie Wood, Sal Mimeo, Dennis Hopper, and Jim Bakus. This is the ghostly revisiting of the car race towards the ocean cliff done in a Pen/Ink illustration on an 11" x !4" Canvas Panel...the classic cars illustrated in this piece are: Ford Coupe-1937 and a Chevy Coupe-1936 (these were my choice of cars...Hot Rods I love them!! Some payback in this scene:) The title is..."Wanna Drag?" c.2014

Amazing piece. This just burst's out into the room.

Artist Reply: I could have done this like the movie showed it, but this one got darker as I worked on it, due to the death of one of the youth racers in the end...driving off the cliff as a dare!
