My sketching lately has become a free association game. This one is more of same, me playing with my boyhood fascinations. Star Wars themes are a common go to because its a very clear example of good versus evil story line but with all the absolutely true Jedi teachings.
The locomotive is nothing new for me. I have been drawing trains most of my adult life. What is different is the non prototypical depiction. No rails is a pretty crazy because trains don't have steering wheels. The paint scheme on the locomotive is the lightning stripe from New York Central Railroad. Although I did change the railroad to my own made up name.
I know you are all very excited to find out why Neil Young is driving this train. It is because Neil Young is train buff or railfan as we refer to each other. So much so that he bought the Lionel toy train company and was very innovative with sound systems in the toys to sample whistles, motor sounds and so on.
Stay tuned for further installments.
