This was drawn at Touch-a-Truck, an event where about 15 machines were on display for the public to interact with at Magnussen Park. The event was big draw for families; (an estimated 2500 people showed up throughout the day). And why wouldn’t you go. If you are kid you could climb on a fire truck, a bulldozer, or get into an excavator, and honk the horn (over and over) while pretending to dig up pavement. For me it was perfect opportunity to capture another truck for my collection, the Concrete Pumper, which in the wild is unlikely to stay in this position for an hour and a half. This one is owned and operated by Ralph’s Concrete, and I must say thank you to Josh who very patiently waited for me to draw and paint this machine even long after most of the other vehicles had been loaded up and hauled out.

This event sounds like heaven for a kid and your drawing is great.
Thank you very much! I think there are lot of grown ups out there who would probably like to play around on the machines as well.
Fabulous Mark. You are the master. How long did it take to draw? Did you sketch other trucks?
Thanks Dan, I only drew this truck, and it took an hour and a half. I really wanted to draw the garbage truck but it left.
I really like your vignettes the best.
love this one:dynamic and expressive!
