That’s nice art. Good job!
Thank you!! and I thank Adobe for their clever mobile app! It is a lot of fun to play with.
I like it. It captures seat very well. It also appears dynamic, in-motion.

Yes! A perfect fit! It even involves paint and is most Certainly artistic.
To be clear: anything goes here. Interpretive dance, tatoos, doodles, multimedia. Whatever works!

I’m not sure what’s going on here but I’m pretty sure it’s artistic:
Filed to art because I honestly have no idea what comment I am making about European pro karting. These are goatherders washing their sheep. Also Luca throwing a nosecone.
I can’t remember if I ever posted this, but my girlfriend painted this for my birthday last year.
I told her she should sell them but it takes a lot of time just to make one

Very cool! I am betting somewhere someone makes racer portraits like this as a biz. But yeah, that’s a lot of work! She must have liked you.
Well I hope she still likes me considering we just moved to Chicago together over the weekend 
I haven’t seen anyone doing hand-painted artwork for karting, I’m sure it exists, but that’s why I wanted to see if she had any interest in doing it for some money. This actually started with a Christmas gift I asked her to paint for a driver I worked with for the last 2 years, and then she made one for me. Tough to do consistently with a regular job as well though.

Phil Pignataro on the East Coast does a lot of hand-drawn karter portraits.

Not exactly art but I like the spirit:
Resourceful young man on budget has no sticker kit (but has lots of stickers):

I see some Shepard Fairey stickers on there, too. Bonus points for not being plastered with Supreme stickers.

I like this kid, love his spirit.
I do wonder how long it took him though, on the plus side, I’ll bet he didn’t have to fret about air bubbles.
Edit: aha! I find the Spitfire logo (a big one was on the hood of my Daihatsu Charade when I worked for Thrasher, which is why it’s on my race suit. It’s a cool bit of graphic design.
Parting thought:
This surprised me a bit. @KartingIsLife , it’s working (your idea).

Props for creativity and resourcefulness! I dig it over the thousands of “factory kits” out there that all look exactly the same.

I clicked on the reddit link, and it sounds like he learned to rebuild the engine on his own too.
