Don Vierstra epitomizes cutting edge automotive illustration and design. Born & raised in Southern California and the Mid-West, Don grew up in the middle of the custom car culture of the 60’s and 70’s. Attracted to the car shows and hot rod builders of the era at an early age, Don soon realized he could capture their creations in a very realistic manner by putting pencil to paper. He became obsessed with drawing cars.

Honing his skills over the years has lead Don to many awards and much recognition. His stunning depictions have earned him an appearance on Discovery Channel’s very popular television show “Monster Garage”. There he joined forces with host and custom builder turned celebrity Jesse James in the episode “Slingray”. Don’s “Slingray” design is one of the show’s most popular.

Don also won an honorable mention in Motor Trend Magazine’s future car design contest. Taking the 2000 Corvette and transporting it 25 years into the future! His rendition included a detailed synopsis of materials used, technology and what energy source it would run on. His work was on displayed at The California International Auto Show in Anaheim. The same design also won “Cool Car” in the OC Register’s automotive design contest!

Don’s designs are highly sought after in the custom car and hot rod world. His portfolio has been scrutinized by many in the industry. Larry Woods lead designer at Mattel and of Hot Wheels fame said it was one of the best and most complete he’s ever seen.
