keith weesner - elixirKeith Weesner is an artist and hotrodder from Los Angeles, California who is best known for his paintings depicting vintage car culture and pin up illustration.

Keith studied automotive design at the Art Center in Pasadena and has worked in the animation industry creating background designs for the likes of Bruce Timm’s Batman, Superman and Justice League as well as Power Puff Girls and Gary Baseman’s Teacher’s Pet.

I really love the attention to detail and the texture that is created in his paintings from the reflections in the car bodies to the mid-century modern architecture, décor and signage.

Following the movie posters and book, Kevin Dart has further brought to life the world of Yuki 7 via a theatrical trailer for ‘A Kiss From Tokyo’.

Made in collaboration with animator Stephane Coedel and music composer Cyrille Marchesseau the resulting animation (set in 1964) is every bit the vintage spy film complete with faded logo, film grain and audio pops.

Video via Stephane Coedel’s Vimeo page.
