I’m Joel Palacio better known as JPC or JPC96Designs. I was born in Parets, Barcelona, Spain in 1996.
Since I was a kid, I’ve been regularly going to Montmeló, Catalonia’s circuit, to see F1 testing and endurance races.
This has been possible due to my town’s proximity to the circuit. I once saw a man drawing Mika Hakkinen’s McLaren in the terraces, which eventually led me to start drawing and fuelled my dream to become a designer and artist.
Other designers that have had an impact on me over the years are Pininfarina, Serra and Bertone.
Two years ago, I put some of my work in a Spanish car forum, people encouraged me to keep pursuing my dream and I continued with my painting and try and get better and better as days go by.
I normally make my designs by pencil, occasionally using photoshop. I am also currently learning the proper way to use 3D modelling programs.
I hope that you enjoy seeing my art. You can follow me on my facebook page here.
