All of these upcoming releases will be added as editorial stock on Alamy but a number will also be suitable for wall art and adding to gift products.

Thanks for reading

Cheers for now

Hinckley Classic Car Show 2015

Crowds walking along Castle Street in Hinckley during the Classic Car Show on 20th September 2015

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Hinckley Classic Car Show 2015

Sunday 20th September saw the 5th Hinckley Classic Car Show. The event showcases a wide array of classic cars and bikes.

The display area stretched the full length of Castle Street through the market Square and along Regent Street. Cars from every decade were on show to satisfy the huge crowds that turned out in massive numbers. It was great to see the look of joy and wonder on faces young and old. I haven’t seen Hinckley so busy for many years.

There were classic vehicles of every type and shape on view including the classic Morris, VWs, Minis and sports cars. Bike fans were also well catered for with dozens of Vespas and Lambrettas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Videos of the 2015 Hinckley Classic Car Show

Below are a couple of short videos showing a selection of the Classic Cars. All my videos can be seen over on my GDMK Images youtube channel.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI0MjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGX00wdEZqN3RXeHclMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4lM0UlM0MlMkZpZnJhbWUlM0U=[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/zkumd-iP2gY”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One surprise was the lack of trade and enthusiast stalls. With the significant crowds this was surely an oversight by the organisers. There must have been other local businesses, including mine,  that would have benefited from this niche market. Also I noticed traders open on Rugby Road but the barriers at the end of Regent Street seemed to deter the crowds from wandering along to their shops. That definitely needs looking at for next year. With space for visiting cars stretched to the limit, here was an overlooked opportunity to accommodate some of the unexpected visitors that struggled to find space in the main display area.

Below is a selection of images I took and are available for editorial use from Alamy and picfair.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”hinckley-classic-car-show”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I found plenty of inspiration for new digital art creations as motor vehicles and bikes are underrepresented in my portfolio.

The classic cars and bikes were a real tribute to their owners and their hard work and effort. Some of the customisations and paint jobs were simply stunning. Even the standard models, some 40, 50 even 60 years old looking as good as the day they rolled off the production line.

Even the weather obliged by providing some beautiful late summer sunshine! All in all the car show was very good and deserves to become a full time fixture on the classic car show scene.

Did you visit the 2015 Hinckley classic car Show? If so why not share your views?

I’ll look forward to hearing your thoughts, thanks for reading
Gary

GDMK Images Event Stall at Shackerstone Family Festival

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

GDMK Images Event stall at Shackerstone Family Festival

This past weekend, 5th & 6th September, the GDMK Images art stall was at the Shackerstone Family Festival.

If you have never visited this event before, then make sure to put it in your diary for next September. You will find a wide range of events to entertain all the family.

Shackerstone Festival is a fairly unique show in that it combines a traditional summer show with both the canal and steam railway close by. This combination provides a great choice of attractions for visitors as there were co-ordinated events on the canal and the Battlefield Steam Railway.

We were joined by our friends from Alizzins Cave. Their stall looked absolutely beautiful as usual and was full to brimming with desirable and unusual homewares.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”2615,2614,2613,2628″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

GDMK Images Event Stall

Our event stall was able to put on a full display as the weather was much kinder than the previous weeks Hollycroft Park 80th birthday celebrations. Saturday morning started off damp and grey but brightened up by lunchtime. Sunday was glorious all day long with clear skies and wall to wall sunshine.

The new GDMK Images t-shirts were very well received. Following feedback we have now made the Vulcan t-shirt available in white and added childrens sizes as follows

  • 3-4 years old
  • 5-6 years old
  • 7-8 years old

A great number of new subscribers joined our mailing list. All should have received their 10% discount vouchers by email. If you haven’t received your voucher yet then please contact me.

For those who kindly bought products, your orders have been sent for production and I will be in touch in due course to confirm delivery/collection arrangements.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Upcoming Events and new products

Our event stall will be visiting several events between now and Christmas so why not come along and say hi? We will have lots of items perfect for Christmas gifts.

New art is being added every week to the wall art collection and several new products will be available for you to see.

Upcoming shows

  • 20th September – Hinckley Classic Car Show
  • 17th/18th October – Robin Hood Game and Country Show at Newark Showground
