This is too cool!!

I just noticed that the moon was absent in daylight until I saw the animated gif !!

Ditto - what he said. By the way Adam, did they say what kind of car did these go in?

It's a supercharged... something. The redline hints at the engine work. 8000 soft limit and 8400 hard limit.

I thought maybe it was had a Fox Red paint job with a White tailpiece IE a white Garage Vary panel?

Domo - this one was pretty straightforward - an order for the Kitty gauges done with Domo instead of hello kitty. I went nuts.




The WTF! mark was the part that got the most revisions. I started out with something small and underwhelming and the customer requested MOAR. The big WTF really makes the gauge pop.






The customer goes by "3UNO5" online and asked for that to somehow be added to the oil gauge. I immediately thought of the Flying V badge and plopped it on the oil face. A bit of massaging and the result looks quite lovely IMHO.


Night time Domo insanity.

That's full of awesome! The stuff you come up with continually blows me away.

Thanks, but the glory goes to my customers for the ideas. I just put them together.

Sunrise : A friend and long time customer named Star ordered these. It was just about the most open ended order of all time, yet with the most constraints. She had a piece of art that she wanted translated into a gauge set. Or rather, just the feel of that art. Something similar with similar colors, but not a copy.


The artwork showed a sunrise scene over a lake with a group of cranes standing serenely. It had a lot of golds and browns in it. Very lovely. Very relaxing to look at.


I've been a photographer for a long while and visit the Bosque Del Apache nature reserve yearly. They have cranes there. The best time to visit is at sunrise. So... by coincidence, I had many photos of a similar real-life scene that Star's artwork depicted. I started work transferring one of those photos to a gauge set.


When these rolled out of the plotter and I got a look at them, my heart beat faster. That's never happened. The colors were PERFECT. I was suddenly standing on that frozen dock next to my dad taking photos of birds. The photos, while lovely, never generated that sort of response. But seeing the same scene with a gauge scale over it? Surreal.


The only non-real part of this scene is the haze in front of the mountain. That misty brown fog was a special request, and one I was happy to supply. It turned out beautifully and is not something you'd suspect wasn't real.


This is the most personal set of gauges I've ever made. It was a lot of work, but it was also a complete pleasure. Thanks for letting me bring these into the world, Star.


At night, the sunrise becomes a sunset. I've never achieved perfection when lighting up such a large area and... I still haven't. But the result is quite good. The few dark areas are easy to overlook. And the red sunset tones... I achieved exactly what I was aiming for.




Here's an animated day to night transition. You can see the clouds appear in the sky as the sun sets. The lighting is using the stock incandescent bulbs in these photos. While LEDs give more vibrant colors, the stock bulbs are much better suited for a moody sunset in my opinion.

Wow! that's something special! Again!

These will look great in her wavy KG panel!

Thank you both!!

I'm really looking forward to seeing what Star does with them.

I am quite certain Adam thought I was crazy when I described what I wanted but given what I have seen him produce this past year I thought he would "get" it. It is difficult to describe a "feeling" about something and have that be translated into a physical object but he NAILED it.

I am on tenterhooks waiting for these to arrive and hoping the post office doesn't send this package to Australia or something.

This IS going to look stunning in the wavy panel although I am experimenting with a wood background as well, those KG panels are SO conducive to experimentation!

Okami - This was a fun order! Anthony wanted a set of gauges centered around this Dog Spirit dude named Okami. I confess, I have no idea who or what Okami is, but the style is lovely. The customer provided all the artwork for me. I was impressed by his artistic prowess.




Getting the right font on these took me a while. I downloaded around 30 fonts and also went through my collection of a few thousand. This subtle eastern-look one fit best. The rest of the gauge style is based on the 1001 gauges. It is pretty, but subtle and allowed enough room for the artwork to be visible. The 9:00 zero point was a special request.


Much fuel. Very gas. Wow.


Such a serene scene. It fits perfectly on the speedometer.


The three small gauges use a light grey background to allow the use of white needles and help the white numbers and scale stand out better.




Night lighting for the Doggy Spirit gauges. I tried to keep the art elements from overpowering the scale while still lighting up as much as possible.


A hidden WOW on the fuel gauge.

[Demon I Am]

That was such a great game

Knuckles - After doing so many cartoon gauges, making this set was a welcome change. Royce sent in an order for a set of "Knuckles" gauges, due to his car's name. The order was then changed to something a bit more traditional. I'm calling this set "Knuckles" due to the brand on the tach.




I was provided with a tach photo that Royce thought was awesome. He wanted me to expand it into a full gauge set. I'd not done that since making the Revolver gauges and was eager to flex my design muscles. The dual scale with the yellow lower text is just... sublime. Such a pretty design. It was a joy to build the whole set up.








I added red zones to all small gauges. The design is squished a bit also to allow it to fit a KGW cluster.


The lighting is crisp. About as close to perfect as possible.


Thanks again for the order Royce!
