1920 Temperino By 'Brian Hatton'
QUOTE (TWest @ Mar 10 2010, 21:28) 
I had mentioned that Inomoto display that I attended at the Hillsborough Concours a few years ago. It was put on by Lexus, and featured Yoshihiro Inomoto, who has been involved with this fundraising event for many years as one of the judges. I, for some reason, decided that this was the time to do the scan of the brochure that Lexus had prepared for the show, and will now send the pages out for your viewing. A good discussion of him and his process, plus a few of the pieces are shown on a large spread in the center of this double fold brochure.
Enjoy.

Great read. Thanks for taking the time to put that up Tom.
Inomoto seems to place his 'technical art' firmly between Fine Art and Technical Drawing and almost as a thing distinct from Technical Illustration. Am I reading too much into the removal of the term 'Illustration' here with his use of the term Technical Art and his general philosophy of trying to show a sort of combined 'aesthetic of engineering'?
He definitely seems to pursue a more stylistic approach to the subject material, where "If I feel the car is powerful the engine may be a little larger than reality" and "If the brakes are very good, I will draw them a fraction bigger or exaggerate their appearence".
He seems also to shy away from the notion of a drawing 'explaining' a thing to the viewer and he sort of implies that he feels that such 'explanation' is instead perhaps the domain of an Animation or simulation.
This approach is probably representative of his time spent with the In-house Mazda design department. This is great if you knew about this form of expressionism before hand, but imagine you intended to use the work as a form of serious reference. It is what it is though and he is certainly forthcoming about his abstract intent. It's good to know though, it puts his work in an entirely different context for me. Just as valid, but I now feel I understand more about his process.
I wonder if he still uses this stylistic approach even if he is given full access to technical information? I wonder if it really is a choice or just a bad habit that has developed somewhat into something of a style? Anyway, great stuff

Having admired his work, and gone through his book (as much as one can not speaking Japanese), I have to say that whatever he is doing works for me. I wish that I weren't so literal and could take that kind of approach and not having it looking like a dog's lunch.

Sounds amazing. I've never seen anything like that before. Sounds a little like an advent calendar type construction? Any chance you could get a picture up?
Hopefully I'll be home from around April 20th, and I'll try and scan a page or two. It's a proper book format but very large, and I'd guess late 40's, but definitely Shell. It starts with the entire car, and goes through from chassis to engine, and then each component. So as I saw it I had to have it!!

It probably is Brian Hatton. Since he produced a lot of pre-season GP cars, can anyone conform whether or not this Talbot is in a 'pre-season' configuration?
There are experts out there. The Talbot factory - GP preparation must have been in the UK then? Anyway wonderful finds

I can say that the Auto Union isn't in the Eagle cutaway drawing book, which is a good buy if you can find a copy, mine's always on the coffee table.
I have a book at home, issued I think by Shell. It has a very George Eyston looking racing driver on the cover, paperback, large format, and inside are cutaways of a very 30's looking road car, but the twist is, that if for example the engine is cutaway, but the card isn't, there is a folded cover, which when lifed up shows the inside of the carb. It's a lovely thing, and I've never seen another, has anyone else seen it/got one?

I have one of those as well. A very interesting book, well illustrated. It is advertised on Ebay if anyone is interested in purchasing it.

When I was at College in the 70's I did a project on a long life car. I wrote to John Bolster who sent me all sorts of info, but more importantly a contact at Porsche in Germany, who in turn sent a package full of press releases and research literature. One piece was a car illustration printed in layers. There were about 5 or 6 transparent sheets showing different sections of a car, beautifully printed, not on film but on a high quality type of tracing paper. These were left at Barnfield College, Luton in 1975. I wonder if they're still there?
I have tried a similar thing in a smaller way - less overlays, but it has always been difficult to get the sheets to align at the printers.

just Paint as embedded in Windows, and as you say patience, I must say a good sitting of Glenmorangie helps with the artistic licence
