Former VW and Renault designer Markus Haub turns artist with 'Racing Legends' collection

Former Volkswagen and Renault designer Markus Haub has merged photography, painting and digital effects to create a 'Racing Legends' series, which focuses on racecars from the 1960s and ‘70s.

Haub, a Pforzheim University graduate, who now teaches at the Barcelona campus of the Instituto Europeo di Design school (IED) when not producing his unique artwork, uses software to manipulate his photography which is then printed and made into a collage. He then works into it with paint and other artists' tools, creating what you can see here.

His work has been featured in a number of European exhibitions and galleries including the Schlumpf Collection, the largest automotive museum in the world.

The good news is that he even takes custom orders, so you can have your favorite car immortalized in an inimitable, stunning way.

As well as working on his art and teaching, Haub also works as a freelance designer in Barcelona, where he currently resides.

Head to the Speedster Gallery to see more of his work, while you can also read his interview with Megadeluxe on their website.
