The best drives aren't just about what you're driving, they're about what you see, feel, and soak in along the way. Highway 9 through the Santa Cruz Mountains is pure Northern California driving at its finest, where ancient redwoods close in around you and every twist demands your full attention. This design captures the essence of the route: the Santa Cruz Mountain silhouette anchoring the scene, a snaking road with a 20 mph turn warning and chevron arrow signs guiding the way, towering redwoods lining both sides, a red-tailed hawk perched on a wood post, a rustic log cabin café paying tribute to beloved stops like Monty's, and a California Highway 9 sign marking the way.
An outline of Highway 9 runs over the design, woven together with driving elements like a steering wheel and side mirror that celebrate the connection between driver and road.
Perfect for driving enthusiasts, motorcycle riders, redwood chasers, and anyone who's navigated the legendary twists and towering trees of Highway 9 through the Santa Cruz Mountains.
A Word from the Artist
A Word from the Artist
When I create these road designs, I'm not just drawing, I'm traveling. Each piece becomes a form of escapism where I get lost in the location myself, excited to see where the road will take me.
Every illustration is built with meticulous detail using many tiny lines to create shading and depth. What might in some cases look like solid color from a distance reveals itself to be intricate line work up close. I use my tablet and pen to hand-draw each element, ensuring that every time you look at the piece, you'll discover a new detail you hadn't noticed before.

Meet the Artist
Hi, I'm Martina, the artist behind the illustration on this shirt.
My husband's passion is cars and driving. Mine is drawing. So we teamed up to turn that love for beautiful roads into artwork you can wear.
Each design in this collection is hand-illustrated by me. The elements within each design are at times inspired by my own experiences on these roads and also lots of research to capture what makes each drive unforgettable.
Whether it's a gift, a memory, or just a nod to your favorite road, I hope these designs transport you to the places you love.
