Michael Thompson Motorsport Art Prints

Motorsport art prints by artist Michael Thompson.

Michael Thompson

Michaels interest in art and painting commenced at University whilst studying Architecture. However his father who had been involved with motorsport for many years introduced him to the delights of competitive motoring and by the age of 19 Michael had already competed on his first International Rally. The competitive bug had bitten deeply and for the next 15 years he pursued a successful motoring career, competing on rallies throughout Europe as well as all over the UK. He also took part in many circuit races both in cars and on bikes winning several trophies. Whilst competing he started covering events for the motoring press and has had many articles published in all the well known motoring journals. A series of bad accidents left Michael partly disabled and led to his sporting retirement, but it did rekindle his interest in art, but painting motoring subjects not buildings! Michael has gradually built up a significant client base for his dramatic contemporary style and has completed commissions for many competitors, sponsors and teams within the motorsports world, however during 2004 Michael was asked to produce an equine portrait as a gift for a team owners wife. This has gradually led to a growth in equine commissions and now this category of painting forms a substantial sector of Michaels work. During his career Michaels work has appeared in many magazine articles both in the UK and abroad. In 1999 Michael went International with sell out exhibitions of his original paintings in the USA and Japan. He has regularly had his works exhibited in London at Brooklands, Goodwood Festival of Speed, and various Silverstone meetings. He has also appeared at the Autosport Racing Car Show and the Motor Show at the Birmingham NEC. Michael now works from his studio in the Somerset countryside with his wife Shirley and surrounded by a tribe of cats and dogs to keep him company.

Ivan Berryman - Battle of Britain Art

Artist Ivan Berryman has been producing many pencil drawings depicting scenes from the Battle of Britain. Each of these is signed by one of the pilots who was actually present at the battle, and is often inspired by the events they took part in themselves. Special signed print editions have also been created from existing full colour print editions, with some featuring multiple pilot signatures. You can find all of Ivan's Battle of Britain artwork on his website - www.ivanberryman.com, or see a full list of pencil drawings - updated regularly, in our dedicated section of pencil drawings.

When you go to a product page for an item in our shop, click on the names of the pilots where they are linked in the text for an item to see a profile page for that pilot. Often we include photos of signing sessions along with details of their flying career, and a full list of all items signed by the pilot.
Pilot Signed Battle of Britain Prints and Original Pencil Drawings

Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain

We are busy building up a portfolio of many many original pencil drawings which depict events from the Battle of Britain, the famous air battle won by 'the Few' in the summer of 1940. The British and Commonwealth pilots defended the air above Britain and the surrounding seaways from the might of the German Luftwaffe. Greatly outnumbered, the bravery of these young pilots saved the country from invasion, and let Britain survive to go on to defeat Germany. Without that first crucial victory, the outcome of the war could have been so very different. We have been busy arranging signing sessions with the few pilots who fought in that great battle who remain with us to this day. Our newly commissioned pencil drawings are often based on the descriptions of the battle by these great men, and are authenticated by their signatures. We have also had several editions of existing prints signed in full, or have signatures added to parts of existing editions. We have also incoporated signatures of some of the German pilots who also took part in the battle, some of whom went on to become top scoring aces of the war. See our Original Pencil Drawings Section - particularly the section of artists David Pentland and Ivan Berryman. Also, see our New Signature Editions section to see all of our newly signed editions.
