The idea of gifting car art to a friend or family member who loves cars is nothing new – although cars are an endlessly practical, hugely scientific interest in a lot of ways, they are also one of the most popular aesthetic subjects for a work of art. Just think of how long people spend washing and buffing their car, how much money they will spend on getting it resprayed, and how psychotic some people will get if you put the merest scratch on their paintwork. Its not hard to believe that people put a very high price on the look of their car as well as the mechanisms.

Carartz.com has tapped into this tendency to prioritise the look of a car, in a unique and interesting manner. They have taken the popularity among car artists of the bespoke depiction of a customer’s car and have added a fun element – caricature. Drawing the customer’s car – with number plate intact to demonstrate the personalized element – in a humorous or archetypal fashion, carartz sell their work worldwide. They have hit on something that as yet other artist organisations have yet to grasp – people like to humanise their cars, to treat them almost like another child, and caricatured car art fits into this extremely well.
