In which I persevere.

Soo, it's been a while since my last drawing post. I kept waiting for a good moment when things finally simmered down a bit, so I could find time to draw. Now I know that's never going to happen, so I must carve out time for my hobbies like all the other plebs.

So here's two drawings I managed to sneak in today-

A diagram of an automobile engine starter. (The little solenoid action on top is what I'm really interested in, the rest is just window dressing.)

A quick drawing of a champa flower- the flowering season starts in June, and they have a gorgeous fragrance. There's a champa tree next to my house which I sometimes raid after my morning run, and the smell of its flowers is heady, like it could fill your belly with one whiff. No wonder they use it in so many perfumes.

Mercedes-Benz C111 II, 1970. The death was announced this week of Bruno Sacco, who served as the head of styling at Mercedes-Benz from 1975 to 1999, having joined the company in 1958. A German-Italian who had studied mechanical engineering at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Sacco worked at both Ghia and Pininfarina before moving to Germany and joining Daimler-Benz AG. The C111 was a series of experimental cars used to test new engine technologies, including rotary, diesel and turbochargers, for which Sacco was lead designer.

This video is doing numbers on TikTok, but I wanted to share it here because I am so proud. The man being featured is my uncle Steve Smith.

Steve has been building drag racers & custom cars his entire life.

My grandma before passing away would tell the story of how when he was 10 or 11 years old - she came home to him taking apart the engine in her secondary vehicle (reserved for fancy outings).

She asked him why & he said he wanted to know how it worked outside of a schematic. & she told him that as long as he put it back together the way he found it, it was fine by her. & what's more - he put it back together from memory without even looking at a diagram!

If anything went wrong with the car, my grandma had him fix the car & it was that way until my grandma passed away. She never paid for a mechanic in her life again.

When Steve was a teenager he spent most of his time at the OKC Racetrack & raced with drag racers he built himself.

Also, as a teen he won the Bethany, OK wheelie championship by riding over a mile nonstop on his motorcycle on a single wheelie position.

All throughout my childhood he always had cars around in various stages of fixing up.

The city of Bethany refused to sell him the property next to his house to open his own auto garage. He had worked for Diffee Motors most of my life up until then. So he moved out in the country & opened his own garage.

Steve has been on several mainstream auto shows being featured for his custom work. He also built a custom car for one of the guys on Duck Dynasty. He was also offered a permanent role on an auto TV show, but he turned it down because it required moving out of state.

My uncle Steve is one of the sweetest, kindest & most generous people you will ever meet in your lifetime. He's as smart as a whip, has never met a stranger & gives the best hugs!

It just makes me so happy to see him getting the recognition he deserves.

The picture below is of him at a family function sitting next to his wife, Nancy.

no idea why a silly fun challenge video turned into every raceengineer!Oscar driver!Lando fandom trope of Lando whining to Oscar in a fussy bedroom voice and Oscar firmly but kindly taking him in hand with ever increasing sexual innuendo and then them both blushing and giggling over praising each other but like this is the reality we live in
