Mustang Mach 1

The 1969 Mustang Mach 1 was a legendary American muscle automobile that was highly popular when it was first introduced. In fact, 24% of all Mustangs produced in 1969 were Mach 1s, with a total of 299,824 Mustangs sold for the model year.

Although the sales figure of less than 300,000 may seem a bit disappointing compared to previous seasons with higher sales, it is important to note that the Mustang faced intense competition from other popular muscle cars such as the Chevy Camaro (https://www.chevrolet.com/camaro-sports-car), the Pontiac Firebird (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Firebird), the Plymouth Barracuda (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Barracuda), the AMC Javelin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_Javelin), and even Mercury’s Cougar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_Cougar), which was also a divisional stablemate.

The Intersection of Art and Fashion

The sketch shows a woman, a fashion designer, who’s so focused on her computer screen, you’d think she’s trying to crack the code to the Matrix. The sketches of fashion in front of her are like her trusty minions, helping to create her latest designs. Imagine a little thought bubble above her head… Oh, just pondering the age-old question of whether art and fashion are like oil and water or peanut butter and jelly. If Botticelli were alive today, he’d be sketching the latest handbag collection instead of angels, that’s for sure. The sketch is a sneak peek into the designer’s mind, and it’s a reminder that fashion is an art form, and art is always in fashion.

The digital painting is available for purchase on OpenSea Marketplace as NFT.
