My Obsession with Harry Potter, Ford, and the Bullitt Mustang, And An Offer For You!

Over the past year, I have taken an interest in the beautiful cars of Ford. It was natural as my oldest brother is a Ford fanatic. Living in the house with him, I had no choice but to fall in line. One day I was indulging in one of my favorite hobbies, watching a Lego video on YouTube. It featured the Bullitt Mustang. Immediately I immersed myself in all things Bullitt.

My research showed me the specifics of this amazing automobile and what the movie it came from was all about. Then I was lucky enough to attend the New York Auto Show. If you have never been, the New York Auto Show is a fabulous collection of vehicles from all different manufacturers and their marks. The cars featured there are future car models known as concept cars. Imagine my awe when I was treated to see the 2019 Bullitt Mustang in person at the show! I took multiple pictures of the car and fell in love. Upon returning home from the car show I eagerly added Bullitt, the movie, to the family’s Netflix queue. I was ecstatic when it came and watched it with the family. The movie was amazing!

First, I recreated several scenes from the movie in Lego, one of my favorite mediums to work. That kept me busy for a good while. Eventually I joined the Art Club in my Middle School and began drawing my passion. My drawings of the Ford Bullitt, both the 1968 and the 2019, were so well-received I decided to explore drawing other Fords like the Ford GT.
