Torque Converter

The lovely device you see depicted here is called a torque converter and is something of a miracle. Without it, we'd all be driving stick.
So when the torque converter in my car recently met it's doom*, I was naturally a bit concerned. How was I supposed to drive? Well, thanks to the mechanic down the road, things are all better (and he doesn't need to worry about his next boat payment).
Not coincidentally, I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone of the wonderful opportunity to own your very own original drawing of the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats.
Also, if you are an art director, or know someone who is, take a moment to visit my site at www.AdamKoford.com. I would be thrilled to help you out on any upcoming illustration assignments. Coloring books, mascot/character design, greeting cards, magazine articles, posters; whatever you've got, I do it all**.
*When the mechanic took the bottom off the transmission, there was a little flower of metal shavings that had worked it's way through. Too bad I didn't have my camera.
**I can even convert torque, if that helps.
