Thanks for starting this Johnny.
Sort of car related. I was going to do a tech kind of post on this one
but got too involved in it and didn't do it. Now that I find it's Tech
week, I should have.

I had never tried something like this and I was itching to try it out. I
have already started on another one, this time a drive-in theme.
Hope you all like it. The letters are 1/4 in. ply as well as the 66 disc.
Approx 40 in. wide.

I'm in.

Kids out of school, training a puppy, preasures of the day job, baseball, softball,... all fun but take time. Did take time to knock out a few sketches, tho.

First couple are the same roadster drawn in different styles; the first is semi-realistic, the second more cartoony but in it's unnatural environment,
mussin' with the eco-system...

Those are smaller diameter Auburn/Cord/Duesenberg style pipes running to lake pipes along the rails...

LOWCAB, must be the week for signs. That looks great, nice work on the ageing.

A friend had this old oil co "tombstone" sign and wanted it painted for his shop. I never claimed to be a sign painter but I thought it came out OK.

We played with the wording just to see if anyone was paying attention. lol

Dropped it off today, He wasn't there, Hope he likes it.

I was invited to carve tikis at the Tiki Eyeball Show in Peru, Illinois last weekend. When I finished carving, the traditional way to darken the recessed areas is to burn them, so I found a Voodoo King with a bitchin 59 Caddy with huge flamethrowers. I asked him to "help me finish the job". He lit the cans and the rest is history.

These are kick a--!
Are these super blown out (make that posterized) photos that the artist enhanced or are they illustrations? Either way, they look really fantastic.
He should consider a submission for the CooK Book contest tread.

I haven't contributed to the art show in quite some time, too busy on the cars to do other stuff.
But I did finally get a picture of the "Flying Eyeball" sculpture I made, and donated to the auction at the Detroit Autorama last March.
Our own Ray Smith "safarinut" lettered it!!!!!!

Hey-

1320art- awesome, Lowcab- would love to see that tech article- you should definitely do one.

Here's something from last year. It's acrylic on some kind of cardboard/fiberboard panel I was going to make door panels out of and then changed my mind. It's based on a series of pictures from a magazine.

As always, great work by everyone this week!

I have been "artistically constipated" so to speak, as of late. Been trying to get out of this slump I am in. It has been awhile since I've posted anything for the Friday Art Show, so here it goes...

I had this idea I have been working on the last couple of weeks.
This is a "Flameburst" on glass. I still have some bugs to work out, but you should get the idea from the pics. All apologies for the P.O.S. pics, but all I have is a one pixel web-cam, lol.

There are mutiple plates of 8x10 glass evenly spaced apart. Each layer is sandwiched between two plates. When you walk by, the picture possesses a 3-D effect, casting shadows on themselves. It also looks cool when the sun shines through them. I'm working on interchangeable foregrounds and backgrounds, so you can "flip" the panels and change the colors to make it look different from time to time.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. PM me If you would like further details on these.

Finally home from work!

Here's my stuff for this week.

Last week someone asked if more of us would show works in progress.
That's all I have this week!

FIRST is a Willys Gasser sketch. This is going to be a part of a drag racing scene. I think that this is going to be Big John Mazmanian's red gasser. It's going to be going against another Willys gasser, probably an older model.

SECOND is a partially completed Rod & Custom Dream Truck.
Marker and color pencil. Plans are for a 50's couple and a drive-in scene.

THIRD AND FORTH is a large acrylic painting I have been working on.
The size is about 30" x 48". The close up is of the foreground. There are going to be some palm trees on the left and right and more vegetation, corner workers and photographers.

If you are looking a cheap silent compressor I built one out of a old fridge motor and a broken small compressor that I was given .Works great.
I hope to get some custom work here in Belfast ,found out I have rheumatoid arthritis so the panel beating is over.
