I was talkin to blinddubs earlier and we noticed that we either have novice choppers or advanced and not alot of intermediate choppers yet there are some good novice choppers out there who have yet to be recognised so if you are interested here is what you have to do.

• Post your 3 Best chops (note you must be able to provide originals if requested)
• No stealing other people's work
• If we agree you will then be able to post in the intermediate chop section

However if you don't make it this time there will be possibilities in the future once you've shown an improvement

This is open to all novices this is not a competition and there are no set number of places available either

Artist Interview: Luka92



In our latest interview we bring you an amazing chopper from Italy, Luka92.

So Luka, What country are you from?
- I come from Italy

How did you begin chopping cars?
- I always had a passion for cars and for the design ... Then one day my father made me discover Photoshop and then I began to do small jobs on the images of cars ... and after a few months I discovered the Italian forum of virtual tuning and from there it all started

When did you Begin chopping?
- About the first part of 2006

What programs do you use for your chops?
- I, like many people, started with Photoshop 7.0, and then I switched to CS2, that I use now because I think it is the best version

How long do chops usually take you?
- Time can vary from 4-5 days to a month.

What's your favorite Car?
- There are many cars that I like for their style, but I like each in a different way .. For example: for the design I really like the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray of 1977, for the engine is the Ferrari Enzo... for the “sound” is the Lancia Delta HF Integrale... but I think my favourite for these all reasons is the Ferrari F40 ... and for the car "not impossible" I love the Mazda RX8

What is your favorite Chop? (Of Yours)
- I like all my chops, but I think my favorite is the "Lazzini Raggioverde F1" because while I created it I put in all my heart in all details ... I made it in one month last summer working 1-2 hours per day... it was published on the Italian magazine “Tuning Generation” like Chop of the month and on “Elaborare” in the 5th place!




Thank you Luka92 for your time, and participating in Carchops Artist Interviews
