Dave Deal

David Allen Deal, nicknamed Big Deal, was an independent American illustrator who worked with Mattel in 2003, likely as a subcontractor. Born in 1938, Deal studied graphic design in Louisiana Tech University before becoming an illustrator for the Dallas Morning News; outside of that Deal was a notable illustrator, illustrating automobiles with "exaggerated" proportions, such as the Deal's Wheels model kit line for Revell. Deal also set a record in a specially-modified Volkswagen Beetle on a 1000-mile route from Tijuana to La Paz alongside then-Revell product manager Don Ernst. Deal passed away on 14 October 2008, aged 70, due to health problems; one of his last projects was concept art for the movie Cars.
