TUF Designs is a graphic art studio founded in 2004. Every illustration and animation is created in our signature toon style. Motorcycles and characters, semi-trucks, pickups, hot rods, and lowriders are the specialty, each drawn by hand.
TUF Designs, based in Ventura, California, offers a range of services besides automotive artwork. We create animations for social media, online marketing graphics, vector art for t-shirt illustrations and logos for small businesses. Our work is primarily commission-based, with a first-come, first-served basis. If you have an idea or a project in mind, feel free to reach out to us.

TUF Designs creates hand-illustrated artwork of Harley motorcycles, classic cars, and custom trucks. From Knuckleheads to custom hot rods, lowriders and semi’s, every detail of the vehicle is drawn by hand, capturing the exact build. Our signature style leans old-school, chrome details, and some “toon-style” exaggeration where it counts.

Time-lapse video
This biker couple wanted a drawing of themselves riding their Custom Softail Harley together. They sent a few photos of the bike and a couple of separate shots of themselves, which were used for reference and combined into a finished illustration. The artwork was printed as a poster for their man cave, something they’ll enjoy for years to come.
TUF Designs started in Ventura, California in 2004 as a graphic design business specializing in just about everything from logo creation to web design. Years later everything changed when Tom brought hand-drawing back into the process, blending the technical skills he’d built over 20 years with the art he loved most. That combo is TUF Designs today: old-school subject matter, hand-drawn detail, built with modern tools.
Q: How much does custom artwork cost?
Personal artwork starts at $75, while commercial and branding projects can start around $750+. Exact pricing depends on the artwork type and how it will be used. For more info visit our Prices & Orders page.
Q: What’s the difference between Personal & Commercial use?
Personal artwork is for small projects like wall art, t-shirt designs and gifts. If the artwork will be used to promote your business, brand or sell product, you’ll need a Commercial Use License. Visit the Artwork Licensing page to learn more.
Q: Do you do anything else besides motorcycle art?
Absolutely. Beyond motorcycle art, we design logos, graphics, commercial artwork, and online marketing materials, including animations, for small businesses and startups of every kind.
