I am a self taught artist born & raised in Southern California and spent my later teenage years in Ohio. Growing up in the middle of the custom car culture of the 60’s through the early 80’s. I was attracted to the car shows and hot rod builders of the era at an early age and soon realized I could capture their creations in a very realistic manner by putting pencil to paper.

I became obsessed with drawing cars!  Although, I love transportation design, I also enjoy most is having a wide range of art and design work.

I won honorable mention out of 500 entries in Motor Trend Magazine’s future car design contest. Taking the 2000 Corvette and transporting it 25 years into the future! My rendition included a detailed synopsis of materials used, technology and what energy source it would run on. My work was on displayed at The California International Auto Show in Anaheim. The same design also won “Cool Car” in the OC Register’s automotive design contest!

Vierstra designs are sought after in the custom car and hot rod world. My portfolio has been scrutinized by many in the industry. Larry Woods lead designer at Mattel and of Hot Wheels fame said it was one of the best and most complete he’s ever seen.  Famous California customizer, Gene Winfield was impressed with my work he commissioned me to capture the essence of his award winning '51 Mercury.

I was a guest designer on an episode of Monster Garage in 2003 (Discovery Channel). The show was called "Corvette Slingray."

A few of my customers include: Barry's Speed Shop, Galpin auto Sports, Fast Freddies, Zeeb's Performance Restoration & Lime-Works.
