ABOUT
Legacy in Lines is a private automotive division of Art of Story.
A large format graphite practice developed through precision, restraint,
and long form execution. The work preserves vehicles as records of engineering, presence,
and automotive history.
PRACTICE
Works are produced primarily in graphite on archival cotton papers using museum grade materials and preservation focused methods.
Large scale graphite at this level of detail remains uncommon due to the precision and control required by the medium.
Production is intentionally limited.
