Artist Alan Walsh has said it is a 'dream come true' to have his motorsport-inspired artwork in the collections of Formula 1 drivers including Sir Jackie Stewart, David Coulthard and George Russell.

The Yorkshire-born illustrator, who raced in the same karting team as Sir Lewis Hamilton as a boy, has been building his client list over the years with his colourful style. He recently unveiled a new collection of paintings, entitled Extraordinary Automotive, in a museum near the Monaco Grand Prix track which homes the car collection of the Prince of Monaco. Walsh said: 'It's a dream come true as a kid who loved racing.

His work kept taking him to the Monaco Grand Prix and Walsh became hooked on the Cote D'Azur, finally moving his gallery to the principality in 2020. With his latest collection, Walsh said he wanted to 'combine the Riviera with a bit of a playfulness to racing'. Among the designs are silhouettes of racing cars, bikes and women, as he said he wanted to show that 'women enjoy cars as well'.
