“ Doug Breuninger is a proud alumni of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. He is a rare breed in the automotive world where his passion for art blends seamlessly with his love of aftermarket design. As former Lead Designer for Galpin Auto Sports, he’s been fortunate to design cars for Ford Motor Company, Disney, the U.S. Airforce, Mercedes, and Popular Mechanics to name a few. At the top of his design list, he’s proud to have had a design role in the 2013 Galpin Ford GTR-1. A one-off 1024 HP bespoke supercar built on a 2005 Ford GT, that made its debut in 2013 at pebble beach.
However, what he is known for these days is his Notable Rides, a series of cars hand-painted on Post-It notes that he has been working on since 2013. Nearly 300 Post-it paintings later, the evolution of his style is concise and clear, with each chapter of the series separated by its own vision, aesthetic, and execution. Throughout the series, Doug has painted out a plethora of cars that have, in one way or another, made an impact upon the car community, or at minimum, Doug himself. From local heroes to full-blown automotive legends, there’s a bit of everything within his body of work: famous race cars, trend-setting show stoppers, machines from history, and even motorcycles.
Most car enthusiasts will see the breadth of his tastes and interests. Instead of boxing himself into a single corner of the automotive world, he’s manage to capture the essence and character of cars from all walks, giving each a bit of a touch of his own. From paint to pen, to watercolor too.
Dougs “Notable Rides” artwork is currently for sale in the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles ,CA along side his latest artistic endeavor “ToonSaloon”, that showcases his passion for die-cast toy cars and cartooning.
