Pro Car Sketch | Custom Automotive Art

---

 The sheer scale of major events like the New York International Auto Show demanded immense logistical preparation. Thousands would line up, eager to experience the automotive world and discover unique offerings like Pro Car Sketch. 

 The '80% business' reality: Beyond the art, Pro Car Sketch was a demanding logistical operation. Here, navigating New York's streets, hauling hundreds of framed prints for our booth – a constant part of managing inventory across major cities. 

 Our booth was meticulously designed for engagement and sales. It featured custom Pro Car Sketch hats (a popular collectible!), digital displays, and organized racks showcasing our diverse portfolio of car portraits. 

 The most rewarding part: direct interaction. This captures the energy of people waiting in line, eager to get a signed sketch or print, and the genuine smiles that made the long hours worthwhile. 

 A good problem to have: running out of prints! This photo captures the demanding pace of restocking our booth, ensuring our most popular sketches were always available to meet the high demand throughout the show. 

 Managing high demand at the shows meant building a dedicated team. This photo with my hired staff highlights the teamwork essential for constant restocking, sales, customer service, and onsite framing – proving it takes a village to run a successful creative business at scale. 

 A glimpse into the meticulous backend: securing proper credentials, booking prime booth locations, and managing all event logistics were crucial planning elements for seamless operation at major auto shows. 

 Behind every successful auto show exhibit was a complex logistical ballet. Here, a forklift loads our essential gear for the Chicago Auto Show, part of the massive coordination of displays, equipment, and thousands of prints for cross-country events. 

 The ultimate reward: connecting directly with customers who genuinely appreciated the art. Many would ask for a photo, happy to take home a signed print and a memorable experience from the show.
