Why X-Static Detroit Concepts Leads the Nation in Automotive Design and Collector-Grade Artwork
In a country built on horsepower, heritage, and innovation, few names capture the spirit of custom automotive design like X-Static Detroit Concepts. Based in Michigan—the heart of America’s car culture—X-Static stands as a leader in custom car art and concept design services available throughout the U.S. and beyond.
Every rendering that leaves the X-Static studio is more than art—it’s a statement of craftsmanship, precision, and personal passion. Whether you’re commissioning a piece to celebrate a dream build, a lifelong automotive milestone, or a collector-grade display for your garage or office, no one in the U.S. blends artistic mastery and real-world design experience quite like David “Static” Kedrow and his award-winning team.

A Legacy Rooted in Automotive Design
Unlike many automotive artists who work purely from photographs, David Kedrow is both an artist and a designer. Before founding X-Static Detroit Concepts, Kedrow built his reputation through years of involvement in professional motorsports, race-team design, and custom vehicle development. His early design studio—X-Static Dallas Concepts—served as the official design arm for multiple race teams and custom Viper builders before relocating back to Detroit in 2017.
Today, X-Static Detroit Concepts bridges the gap between car design and fine art. Each project is approached with the mindset of a vehicle designer and executed with the precision of a master artist. The result is artwork that not only looks stunning on a wall but can also guide real-world builds, paint layouts, and stripe designs.

100% Freehand. 0% Digital Shortcuts.
At X-Static Detroit Concepts, every rendering is 100% freehand—no straight edges, stencils, or digital tools. Prismacolor pencils and Copic markers form the foundation of each piece, layered using a proprietary technique that creates unmatched metallic reflections, realistic paint tones, and flawless depth. For subtle highlights and “bling” effects, Kedrow uses hand-painted accents, giving each rendering a luminous, lifelike finish.
This dedication to traditional artistry sets X-Static apart from digital renderers and AI-assisted illustrators flooding the market. Each drawing takes dozens of hours of focused handwork, blending craftsmanship with engineering-level precision. That level of dedication has earned X-Static nearly 200 national awards in just four years, including Detroit Autorama, Motorama (Outstanding Modern Muscle 2024), MOCSEM, Mustang Week, and Ponies in the Smokies.
