ABOUT

Welcome to Willie’s Garage — where the cars are cool, the characters are colorful, and things rarely go as planned. Willie loves cars, hot rods, and having his crew around the garage. The only problem? The crew has a habit of turning everything into an adventure. From Tux the cat and Calvin keeping an eye on things to Bob with his spreadsheets and Axel ready to ride, everyone brings their own personality — and a little chaos.

The Cars. The Characters. The Chaos. Willie’s Garage is inspired by a love of hot rods, classic cars, garage culture, and characters with plenty of personality. The artwork and products of Willie’s Garage are created by Danny Gordon Art, bringing Willie and his crew beyond the garage and into your world. The garage door is open. Come on in — just watch your step. You never know what Willie and the crew are up to.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

How Danny Started Drawing Dogs:

This is my very first dog drawing, drawn way back in September 2003. And no, it wasn’t exactly planned.

My wife suggested that I take my socks off the kitchen counter...

Wait. Never mind. That’s a different story. 😏

Anyway, she suggested that I draw a Basset Hound as a sidekick for a cartoon character I had created. So I grabbed my pencil, started drawing, and apparently opened the garage door to a whole new adventure.

My next dog drawing was Rusty the Dachshund. And from there, well... I just never stopped drawing dogs.

Somewhere along the way, Willie showed up, brought a few cars with him, invited some friends, and things got a little out of hand.

And here we are.

Over 20 years later, I’m still drawing dogs, creating characters, and building a garage full of troublemakers.

Welcome to Willie’s Garage.
