Posting this for my 13 YEAR OLD, son who just finished his first oil painting. He has been inspired by the artwork seen here in the past.
I know he would like to see some feedback. (I had to cut and paste from the scanner, so the line you see is from that) Thanks

[rollie]

striping from last summer........damn I wish I could draw like you guys !!

[screwtheman]

I tried to get Hidden to make some shirts for my new business (http://www.blastoffmyrtlebeach.com)... but he never got back to me :( So I decided to knock the rust off my old design chops and do my own...

Before I try to help you - what kind of image editing software do you have.
If you have Photoshop it's easy as pie....

Hey Thanks, I got it covered though (I think) I need to start posting to my site, then here... that should do it..
Hey, meant no disrespect about the CAD stuff either. If I had it, i'm sure I'd use it.

Hey- I wasn't mad about it, I dig your work man. When I look back through the archives your stuff is a highlight.

If you still want to know more just ask

I helped Brush a while back on this as well.

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76773&highlight=save+for+web

You might have to scan through the thread a little to get to it - but it's in there.

And if you have a newer version of Photoshop the save to web feature might have a different interface.

When I use it I can see what the web image file size will be in the lower left corner of the dialog box. Pretty sweet really. Poke around a little while you're in there - you'll find it useful.....plus we get the benefit of seeing your stuff in larger format!!

[zombie]

well, thanks for the possitive feedback! polock, i really dig the ford, in fact i already had it on my hard drive. ha ha. jeff, i always love seeing your designs. i'm digg'n the red line tires.

'58 Ford with a three bar grille

[BigO]

I needed an Art Deco looking hood ornament for my '39 Chevy Custom, so I made one. Just finished it. Thanks! Lots of great stuff this week!!!:D

[slammed]

100% Slurpy-killar work. Zombie, that is the best grill treatment for a '58 I've ever seen. The whole car is so tasty. Robin, bubbletop's rule. So doe's your painting.

[50dodge4x4]

WOW, only 7:46 on Thursday night and already on 3 pages, this one is going to be another biggie. Some great stuff on here already, I love the Friday Art Show!

Ok this is the 6th of six Desk Top Art Work models for the show display in Rock Island IL this weekend. This one is a little different, # 89 is a rendition of a racing lawn mower! It has a tilt hood showing the twin V with two "carbs" and a header.

Posting this for my 13 YEAR OLD, son who just finished his first oil painting. He has been inspired by the artwork seen here in the past.
I know he would like to see some feedback. (I had to cut and paste from the scanner, so the line you see is from that) Thanks

Tell your boy he has some serious talent there! Seein this cool painting took me back a bit - Back to when I started drawing cars. Your son is truly lucky to have a supportive father - that's huge for a young artist's growth, don't ever forget that. I hope your boy becomes a regular on the Friday Art Show!

Zombie - your style both in automotive design and graphic style are both killer and they compliment each other so well!

Norwell - I dig the poster! - the background treatment is truly unique - killer work!

Tingler - sick mind - enough said there - you scare me...

And F'ing Pol - I've been wanting to do a Hudson and you beat me to it - and you did a killer job on it! there was one that sat for years in my dad's hometown, but by the time I got old enough to really appreciate it it was gone...

Anyway, I peeled out the '54 Ford from the Rod and Custom spread as some people were asking about that one in particular.

Awesome work fellas!

And I thought I'd share a work in progress - 39 cab/bed '36 car grille and fenders...

[Stone]

ryzart thats cool. Of all the painted munnys I have seen I like that one the best.

Blackie, thanks for the compliment, and your work here again this week illustrates why I hold your opinion in such high regard... The detail on your stuff is just incredible! The paint looks a mile deep, and the subtle details in the reflections and surface changes are downright scary! (anyone looking to bring their work to the next level can learn volumes from that detail shot of the '54 -- just the way you handled the rounded, inward curve on the wheel opening is an added detail that sells it!)
Nice on the '39/'36 combo!

BoneHead,

Can't wait to show my 13 year old when I get home! He'll be thrilled. He's been drawing different views of his 54 Chevy truck all month. We've got stacks of them. He hasn't tackled oil yet so we'll see if it inspires him.

Great job by your boy!

Thank you everyone. Watch for the name, "Shelby Bates", He is fired up to continue. He has stacks of drawings around, and his school books are full of them too. Oil painting was a real stretch for him, but he stuck with it and got it. The support from you guys, "Real Artists" means alot to him. Thanks again. Jeff

[LOWCAB]

I'm working on a painting that just does not want to be finished yet. I hope to get it done before friday is over, otherwise you'll have to wait till next week.
Great art show as usual. This show has always been such an inspiration to me.
So many of you guys are so fantastic. I wish I could just watch how you guys do it. What mediums or programs are some of you using. I can figure the 1 Shot out. I'm always looking for new methods to try out or a certain program.

Tingler, looks like the shrunken head is a winner for sure. I love it myself.

They are well appreciated!

It was still wet when I photographed it and the light washed out the coloring, but you get the idea. 30x42" oil on canvas

In Finland? Nice sketch homie! :cool:

[safariknut]

Haven't had too much time to take pictures of any recent art,but this is my latest creation:a folding paint table made from an aluminum "walker".Everything clips to it both in the open position and when folded for transit. Eight by Twenty-four inch shelves lined with anti-skid material,top shelf has a length of angle iron affixed to one edge and opens up to form an easel for painting panels,rods for easel prop and paper towel holder(made from an old paint roller),and a small sealable trash can for paint rags.

The legs have six adjustable height positions and by carefully arranging it,I can wheel everything around on top of my Snap-On chair.

Jeff, that rules!! I love it.

[wrenchbender54]

OK, I've never posted on the Friday art thread, but here goes. I recently decided to start doing more drawing. It's something that I love, but don't "find" time to do. The pictures that I'm posting tonight are some that I did in High School (about 15 years ago). All of the black and whites where drawn on plain white tag board with india ink. Anything in color was done with either colored pencil or an ink wash. Most of you will probably recognize some of these pictures. None of them are my own originals, but are drawings I did of them. Almost all of the original pictures were ones that I found on the corners of the pages of Street Rodder and Rodders Digest. Basically, I took the small pictures, and re-drew them on full sheets of tag-board.I'll appologize now to anyone who's drawings I may have "knocked-off". They are for my own entertainment, and not for sale. The pencil sketches are my own work, with the exception of the '55 Gasser, and the blue Merc.
Two of these pieces were originally done by Lance Sorchik, and I've included the originals in the pictures.
Hopefully, I'll have some originals of my own to post soon.

[wrenchbender54]

(more of the same)

(...and more) FYI, the positive/ negative of Iwo Jima was a picture that I got off of my Marine Corps recruiter's business card. Semper Fi!

So be it.

Show us how you did this.I needed something special for my inprogress '39 Chevy Custom. I started looking around the shop and found an old damaged '36 Ford hood ornament. The shape of the base was right and so was the width. Then later I found this old retro Art Deco bookend in the house. I cut the base off, drilled a long hole in the bottom of the leg and a matching hole in the '36 ornament base (after I had remoned the V8 emblem) and inserted a steel rod for support. Then JB welded it all together. Then sanded and painted it and old bronze color since it could not be plated. Glad you fellas liked it. Thanks, Michael

This is freakin' awesome. Man, and I just found a premo 39 grill for my truck.

Good stuff! Hat's off to Robin on that Texas piece. Fuckin' rules.

Thanks BigO.

wrenchbender54, "knock-offs" are exactly how I learned to draw.

I was an enterprizing young fella. Our high school art teacher had an assignment that required using those scaling grids (depicted in your post) to draw from photos and such. After the drawing was sketched we were asked to use a pointalism technique to colorize them.

The kids who were - let's call it artisically challenged - would come to me for help on these assignments. I would do the line work usually two or three a night, for a small fee.... then I would give the drawing back to it's owner and they'd use the pointalism technique to finish them out during class time.

This lil' business was in place most of my HS career - and it was my first forray into the world of art. I was doing it before I had even taken a single elective art class.

Man those are some good memories...

I can also remember the first time I actually took an art class. During one of the the first classes I started going at it and the teacher came around to see how we were all doing. When she got to me she was like...."Uhh what's your name again? .....and why haven't you been in art classes before!!!" (I believe I was a Junior at the time).

She laid into me for a long time over that....I took almost all art classes my Senior year, lol.

Here's a last one for this week. Got nowhere on my painting that I have been working on. I think I'll set it on fire.

I used this drawing in another one I did that had some pinstriping. This is the original.

I see this gets the art show to six pages. Great turnout by all. Good to hear also of those who are going to get back at it.

Glad you like it... I say go for it, BUT you can't just slap the '36 car grill where the '38/'39 truck grill goes. This would put the car grill out way too far. There would need to be a lot of finessing to get the grille to look correct proportionally. my plan would be to use a '38/9 hood and narrow toward the front as necessary to meet the '36 grille. The nose of the hood would obviously need some work to make the transition. I chose the '38/9 cab because it is closer IMO to the lines of the '36 car. The pickups lagged behind a bit from the cars in terms of lines/contours. Even though the '38/9 cab have a split windshield (where the '36 car is flat), I still think the curvature of the roof lends itself better than the '36 cab. I saw a '36 pickup with '36 car grille and I don't think it quite worked (plus the grille was positioned too far forward.) TO pull it off it would have to be placed just right.

AND I just so happen to have both a cab and a grille, which got me thinking about this project.

Jigger can't come out and play tonight, he's got work to do. D'OH!
He's stuck someplace in Burbank peciling stuff for some T.V. show inspired animated film.
La-Dee-Dah!
He's missed two weeks already and truly regrets not being involved this week, with all the high calliber things he's been priveledged to witness tonight. Simply one of the best shows I've seen thus far.

Did this quickie up for a slot car drag racing flyer this afternoon:

[chopolds]

Haven't posted anything artistic in a long time, not that I do many "artsy" things anyway.
Here's something I made from a bunch of junk they were throwing out in work. They were decomissioning a lab, and throwing out a bunch of 3/8" stainless tubing. I brought them home, cut them up, welded them to some larger tubing, using ss fender washers. I then bought a ss float ball, and welded the tubing to it. Installed some candlabra bases for bulbs, wiring, and a piece of 1" tubing for a hanger, and viola! a chandelier for the dining room. I call it Sputnik.
I did leave out "lots of polishing"!
