      Like a lot of us, Andy Blackmore draws cars – except he does 
it really, really well. Blackmore, a designer at the EA Black Box studio 
in Vancouver who once worked for McLaren, spends his days putting 
down incredibly detailed visions of American muscle, tuner imports 
and exotics – freehand, no less. In Need For Speed Carbon, Blackmore 
has added 200 new works of art to the game’s lineup. 
In the Need For Speed Carbon shop, players who love to get their 
hands dirty can use the revolutionary new Autosculpt™ toolkit to 
tweak body shapes, hoods, intakes, vents and every other detail of 
the masterpieces created by Blackmore and fellow designer Mike 
Hayes. Or they can build eye-popping whips of their own. The best 
part of working in the digital realm, as Blackmore puts it: “In the real 
world, you have to worry about legality.”
