I will forever remember Ed Roth for his vision. As a kid I recall buying bubble gum packs with his reations printed on cards and a few stickers. Those are so precious to me and the feeling and imagination it brought out in me. My dad would take me to the autorama and of all the reations there it was the Roth cars and trikes that brought the most excitement.The Barris cars also where unique,I recall vividly when the Batman equipment came to town and once again dad took me there .I got a photo of me sitting in the Batmobile and the Batkart,the helicoppter was there, great memories.But above all Big Daddy Roth inspired me to draw.And draw I have.In sixth grade I won a local postal award for comming up with a mail truck drawing,A model T hot rod box truck inspired by Roth.He will.always live on in millions of inspired kids that wondered at those crazy .monster piloted creations ripping up the pavement with there smoking tires flaming pipes and the look of maddness in there eyes. He was and will always be remembered as a great creator of art of its own kind. There will be others but never another Big Daddy Ed Roth. Thank you for doing what you did.In Fink we trust !
A humble guy for all that he's done. My old man grew up on his stuff and so did I. We still share this. A shame Ed's not around anymore. We still have Von Franco.
I painted ghost flames on my first paint job 71 gmc I restored in high-school.. because of a edroth article in a 1970s custom painting book... the world needs more Roth in it less mickey mouse SEMA
I was watching this thinking about showing my high school small engine class and lawn mower drag racing club students. Then he goes and talks about the project he hated the most was a drag lawn tractor. 😂
I built all his car models as a kid.. I have that shirt in the closet.. Big creative influence on me. I musta drawn 1,000 weird cars and chopped up 1,000 model cars.
He had a huge influence on me as a kid. His illustrations are what started me in the field many years ago. Thank Ed
This is the best interview I've ever seen with Ed Roth. It really made him think about every answer he gave. Guy was a genius!
