Ferrari F1 Engine - Purple Elegance
More trumpets please! The most visually magnetic piece of any high performance engine from the 70s and 80s,
the air intake trumpets on F1 engines telegraphed power, speed, danger and excitement, all at the same time.
More of that please! As I write this, it occurs to me how insane it is that, for all the products I have designed
and created over the years, I never made anything using the F1 trumpet as my inspiration. A shape I have loved
forever. Oh well. I will have to live with making more art to celebrate this wonderful , sculpturally beautiful
shape. As for the artwork shown here, I wanted to create a sense of endless trumpets, coming and going. Like
the many years of Ferrari F1.
