Claeys Jelle is an artist who gets his kick by producing [vibrant, flashy pieces of automotive art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romero-britto). Jelle uses good old-fashioned marker and felt pens to draw intricate renditions of a wide variety of cars.

While the cars look realistic, Jelle is generous with his use of [eye-popping colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3000gt-vr4) without going over the top. Aside from drawing the cars so that they faithfully depict popular real-life cars, Jelle adds extra splashes of color outside the cars' bodies to make them look larger-than-life, almost as if they are in a cartoon.

So far, Jelle has drawn cars ranging from BMWs to [Porsches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Porsche-911-carrera) to classic V-dubs. While he draws his favorite cars all day long, he also accepts request for custom artworks.
