Hot Rod Art by Rat Rod Studios

Hot Rod Artwork ..... Thanks for cruising into Rat Rod Studios Tumblr Site where we exclusively feature the automotive photographic artwork of Bob Kramer. Having owned a '57 Corvette since the early 1980's, I have always been fascinated with placing a photo of my car into exotic or fantasy backgrounds. Using this technique for my real estate postcards and seeing the reaction from the recipients, I decided to start a small business to create works of art for other car enthusiasts. That's when Rat Rod Studios came into existence. Rat Rod Studios exclusively features my automotive photographic artwork.
