Harley motorcycle, classic car & custom truck illustrations
Custom Automotive Artwork
Hand-drawn tribute artwork of Harley motorcycles, classic cars, & custom trucks
American iron inspired.
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. No templates or AI shortcuts are used in our drawings. Our signature style leans old-school — chrome details, and some toon style exaggeration where it counts — with a bit of realism that’s earned comparisons to David Mann.
Whether you’re interested in a dealership billboard design, a shop logo for your business, or just a personal piece for your garage, every illustration is designed to turn heads.

From Photos to Finished Artwork
Drawing progress 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.
About TUF Designs
Tom Franco grew up in a biker family in Ventura County (Oxnard), California, in the 70’s, surrounded by choppers, loud pipes and long rides before he ever picked up a pencil — but drawing came just as naturally. That upbringing is where the love for old-school Harley motorcycles, classic cars & custom trucks really comes from. It’s not a style he learned about but a lifestyle he grew up in.
TUF Designs started in Ventura in 2004 as a graphic design business, mostly work done on the computer. Years later everything changed when Tom got a hold of an iPad which allowed him to bring 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.
