Default Corvette C8.R racing print for charity

Folks...just before the pandemic happened; I produced a piece of artwork of the C8r Corvettes on track; and was awaiting permission through the Pratt and Miller/Corvette Racing organization to produce a limited edition number of prints and donating the money to Danny Binks Camp Charity for disadvantaged kids... Today; I have been granted permission through Gm /Corvette Racing to go ahead with producing the limited edition prints of the C8R corvettes...other than printing and shipping costs... 100% of the balance of the proceeds of money... will be donated to our country's first responders for disinfectant for their vehicles and facilities. I will keep you all informed of what will be happening in the next few days...as the logistics/dynamics/price of the prints are being figured out...I will also show you what this print will look like...again I WILL NOT BE MAKING ANY MONEY/PROFITS FROM THE SALE OF THE PRINTS...PERIOD...ALL of the Profits other than printing/shipping costs; WILL BE DONATED 1ST ... AS STATED BEFORE..TO OUR COUNTRY'S FIRST RESPONDERS and then later to DAN BINK'S CHAMP CHARITY ...I am truly grateful and I can't thank Pratt and Miller/Corvette Racing...Mike Stouffer at GM and Richard Prince official Corvette Racing photographer for allowing this to go ahead...This is a time for me as a racing artist to step up and in some way with support from the aforementioned folks and Corvette Nation ...I only ask for your help.

Please put me on the list. Danny Binks and his family are auto racing icons here in San Diego, CA.

Thanks,

Danny Binks is a first class person...yes he is a Corvette racing icon...Gary Pratt and Robin Miller are great guys...the entire Corvette Racing Organization are first class people...I only pray that racing will someday comeback to normal...but what will be the norm?...no one knows...I can only do what is best in my heart for our country...I am retired and don't need to make money doing this...I needed to start doing something to help rather than being helpless...so I am putting my artistic talent to work...I have donated artwork to the organization before; during the Road America Corvette Corral Charity event...and will hopefully be there again this year...I am very thankful to God that I have skills. The disinfectant is hospital grade...it last 9.5 minutes on the surface compared to the standard grade which last 1.5 seconds...but you get what you pay for....it isn't a cheap brand.

By Later in the day of May 14th or the 15th I will have more size information for folks.

Just stopped by my buddy Smokeyjr and purchased a proof. Let me just say that pictures don't do these justice. Smokeyjr is a great guy and these are for an even better cause. He has a true passion for cars and helping others. Can't wait to get it framed and displayed on my wall.

Thanks so much..Hey...we need to thank the Corvette Forum folks (Jim and Jason); as well as the folks at Gm Corvette Racing (Mike Stouffer) and Richard Prince...they all have been instrumental in getting the green light to become reality. I came up with this idea of making Corvette artwork actually last year talking to Doug Fehan at the Road America Corvette charity event. I was/am/will be really making more in the future...I am a retired guy that loves Corvettes and racing...in the past I have done work for Al Unser Jr. ...Nigel Mansell...Adrian Fernandez...Johnny Rutherford...and the Alan Kulwicki Park to mention a few. It's not about me....it's about us as Americans helping others in this good ol' USA that need our help!!...if I have this God gifted talent...then now more than ever...I need to put it to use. This is reality that isn't going away for a while...State/County/City budgets are being pushed to the max. This country as a whole...as brothers/sisters/children ..as "Americans"...needs our help...thats the bottomline...so thanks to all...
