\\\***Friday Art Show - 09/27/07***///

[Broman]

So let's see if this works.

Can't hold back any longer - here's a digital snapshot of my latest....

[nate]

graphite rules! very nice.

[Broman]

Thanks Nate - that means a lot coming from you.

I just wish there was a better way for me to show off my handywork. Snapshots are dull and lack contrast. Plus the digital image appears to have wavy lines - when the piece is actually quite smooth.


Ohh well, I suppose every art piece posted here is astonishing in person, there really is nothing like seeing something live and in the flesh, so to speak.

This took me three months to put together - I only have a half hour a day (my lunch break) to do art work - see you in three more months ;)


Graphite and paper - roughly 11x17.

So let's see if this works.

What if...

What if you could fulfill all of your vehicular dreams?
This might be it for me. Great rides... one for the road
and one for the sky.

Little off-topic but, a LT1 that I took multiple photos of and pieced together in a cutaway.

This was HEAVILY influenced by your work (and website) and Janne Kutja's work (and website).


I really have to thank you both for the inspiration. It made me WANT to draw.

[Robin B]

Keep it coming Broman!

This is a customer piece. He wanted a wedge mopar and that certain text... and...well, I was in the mood for some comic book influences and this is how it turned out.

[ratstar]

Broman nice work!

Robin I'm loving this one, looks really great!

[widewhitewalls]

Okay, sorta an unusual post for me. I've been slammed at work so I haven't had much time to do a whole lot of work for fun. But occasionally there is some crossover of themes since I do a lot of work for the auto industry.

The Texas Auto show opens tomorrow and i have some work being displayed there in the Chevy booth and since I've been so inspired by these art thread and all the beautiful pin striping, I incorporated those themes into the Chevy Performance video.

I did some pin striping by hand which i had to transfer to the computer. These were the basic shapes I came up with:

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/keven_carter/friday%20art%20show/pinstriping.jpg

Here is a low resolution test video of the animated pin striping that you can see in Texas and hopefully an auto show near you in the future. These were used in conjunction with Chevy nameplates:

Art or not, you be the judge. I just wanted to contribute something this week.

[Dino the weirdo]

Now Iv'e seen everything...computer generated pinstriping ! Very unique ! Thinking of the possibilties ofwhat would happen if you animated Mike Lavelles "Real Fire" it would be alive. www.killerpaint.com (http://www.killerpaint.com)

[LaGrasta]

Bumpstick, that is a great looking poster, very well done. Great composition.

WideWhiteWalls. You said, "I transferred it to the computer". Please, tell me how.

[widewhitewalls]

I took some work home with me and sat down with a marker and some white paper and drew these patterns on separate sheets of paper. I took them into work and scanned them and traced (and cleaned up a lot) them in vector form in Adobe Illustrator.

Tracing is probably a more appropiate term in this case. Then I brought the paths into an animation program and the rest is ani-magic!

[Jigger]

Great stuff everyone.
Broman That looks great. It's been a while.
Natas, Woah!
RobinB, Looks flippin' fantastic!
Nice lines widewhitewalls...

Maybe I'll get something done and up on the board this week but time's a
killer so far....

Keep 'em comin'!!!

[COOP666]

This somthing I did this week for a show here in L.A. -stick

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c90/bumpstick/Dia-de-los-Muertos-Flyer1.jpg

That looks great!

(BTW, shouldn't this be the THURSDAY art show now?)

[COOP666]

Alright, here's a photo i took yesterday of the sedan:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/coop666/1444753986/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1238/1444753986_bf9f4aa59f_b.jpg" width="1024" height="768" alt="L1200478.JPG" /></a>

I was leaving for lunch and saw this devil head leaning up against one of the buildings at The Brewery, so i had to take some photos with it.

I also finished my painting this week:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/coop666/1439019034/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1178/1439019034_303614ff50_b.jpg" width="1024" height="768" alt="L1200463.JPG" /></a>

And, after seeing this photo, I went and got a haircut. I was lookin' like a damn hippie!

[VAPHEAD]

Dan Picasso did up a new logo for me.
A great artist to work with !!
I really like it. Maybe some stickers,little posters.
It will end up on shirts for sure.

[thamesvan]

Its hard to pick a best one of,even among this small selection,such contrasting styles.........what a gift!

[Bumpstick]

Thanks La Grasta. Thanks Coop! If I had a 10th of your talent... -stick

[flyingpolock]

Broman....NICE! VERY nice work, indeed!
Gary C., every week you post some great stuff!
Natas, I'm liking the cutaway (...and the rest ain't to shabby, either!)
Bumpstick... WOW. Really well done... great piece!!
Robin, you are my hero. Uncanny talent you have.
Widewhitewalls, great stuff! That animation is fantastic! What program did you animate in?
Coop, your work is just beyond incredible... I love the fact that your large-scale work keeps such a killer graphic style, and your texture is phenominal, as always.
I'm up to my ears in late-model (and *gasp* import-kinda stuff...).... I'll post a piece that's about a year old, as well as a more recent Camaro piece commissioned by a client... Great show so far everyone!

[COOP666]

Thanks for the nice words from everyone.

I'm really happy that everyone digs the rougher, looser painting style that I'm trying to get into. I've been going in that direction because I think that computer apps like Illustrator and Photoshop are making art and graphics too slick and perfect, and a little inhuman-looking. There is a better connection made when you can see that imperfection and individuality in art that shows a human touch.

Needless to say, the same holds true for hot rods!

This is awesome, where can I get a poster?

[LOWCAB]

Well I did another stencil this week. I only got 6 different prints out of it before it self destructed on me.
This was only a 2 stencil but I used different colors on each layer to get color blends. Hope you like them.
I was going to make myself a shirt from it but the stencils are toast.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v178/lowcab/ART/BLUEROTH1.jpg
Here are the others. There is one other red version that I did also.
On the darker sheets I used silver spray paint blending to the blue.

There is a better connection made when you can see that imperfection and individuality in art that shows a human touch.

It's a tough call on this that I've struggled with since I entered school for art. I was into painting and drawing long before the mouse was even conceived and i still draw and paint (when I have time). When I went to school for fine arts and traded in my brush for a mouse years ago, and now I'm feeling a little more comfortable with this tool set in a professional realm, but I go out of my way to not strive for total perfection in my computer aided work, but rather I try to work from photos I take and find ways to make my art more human even though some of it is being generated with the use of computers. It's just a different way of thinking I suppose. Some folks appreciate it, some don't.

I can say I’ve been a fan of your work since i saw the Lords of Acid cover and even with a computer I don’t know if I can achieve your perfection.

Robin B: That piece has great energy!
Bumpstick: Great calaveras-piece; That one rules!
widewhitewalls: Very nice line-play!
Janne: Awesome work, as always!
COOP666: Lovely painting. I subscribe to your point about the looser imperfect style and human touch in art: I am relying way too much on that "Undo" key as well these days. By the way, I think that this includes using the projectors to blow up and trace stuff...

COOP666: Lovely painting. I subscribe to your point about the looser imperfect style and human touch in art: I am relying way too much on that "Undo" key as well these days. By the way, I think that this includes using the projectors to blow up and trace stuff...

Why? If you know a better way to paint at that scale, I'd love to hear about it!

I've tried the grid method in the past, but it doesn't really work with the layered composition style that I'm working in now. I thought about doing the large graphic elements with silkscreens, like Andy Warhol, but I ultimately decided against it because I thought the image reproduction would be too perfect.

I learned a variation of the technique I use now when I was doing signpainting. After creating the sign image at a smaller scale, it was scaled up with the projector, and transferred to a paper template, then scored with one of those pounce wheel things, then the image was transferred on site using a pounce bag. this was the template that was used to paint the sign.


Just to clarify, I'm not anti-computer at all. (I compose these paintings in Photoshop, after all...) A computer is a tool, and like any tool, it can be used or abused. Also, as any artist will tell you, when you are under deadline, all bets are off, and you will use whatever it takes to finish the job!

Superb "Friday Art Show" for a Thursday! :D

I am amazed and honored to be a small part of such a multi talented, creative and artistic bunch of Hotrod Hoodlums.

Fantastic artwork so far today. I can't wait for tommorrow. Coop666, you're the MAN!

Thank you all for posting...

Sweet work as always guys!! I always miss this place when I'm not here.

It's been a while for me as I've been putting together a new site/portfolio...

It's now up and running at http://www.misterpaterson.com

Got a rendering tutorial up now as a permanent feature, and heres one of my latest pieces. It's a combo of painting and rendering which was unusual for me. Basically it's a concept of a truck a guys building and rather than a computer rendering he asked if I could actually paint it, so here it is...

[Drewfus]

like Andy Warhol,

Coop that big picture rocks.....growing up I was heavily influenced by the artwork of Andy Warhol, and Roy Litchtenstein, to which, I haven't really seen much that goes near, nor inspires me to pick up the brushes/pens again.....until now, again, thats really kick butt....

Cheers,

Eye Bone, that's a crack up! well executed!

Joe Deertay, That looks unreal! Nice, nice, NICE!!!

Here I go; some pics from the scrap pile, starting with a bevy-o'-Chevy:

for conecting me with the H.A.M.B. community? What a priveledge it is to

...now, the Chevys, sorry, no hot rods this week...

I'll never get a chance to finish this one so I'll present it in it's infancy

Fantastic art as usual here. What a great bunch of inspiration and talent. Coop...Too cool.... Flying Polock...Simply tasty as hell. Here is a recent painting I finished this week. Rock on!!

[Jeff Norwell]

great design and flawless execution

Bravo !

killer show by everyone as usual.
those ed roth stencils are nuts!

the quality/variety of stuff that shows up on here always makes me too chickenshit to post my stuff up.
thought id start posting junk up from now on though....
(im a "self-unemployed" graphic designer, but only get the chance to do cool car shit every now + then)

finished up poster art this week for the local annual show here...
(that happens to be my dads 50caddy he's debuting there after 9yrs in the build.:)
will post up some pics soon, looks killer - chopped, bigblock etc...)

Great show guys! Friday art show is one of things I always look forward too. Wish I had kept up with my art after school so I could contribute too - maybe someday.

Coop, I wish I was a rich man so I could fill up the small walls in my little house with your big paintings.

Danagamer - I'd like to see the rest of that short

Guiseart & Joe deertay - Great stuff there!

Palepainter - Great stuff, reminds me of all the Heavy Metals I have stashed in a box somewhere.

I'm posting some automotive illustrations
that are a bit off topic but as artists who appreciate
the skilled works of legendary image makers I think you'll
like these. Some of you may know who SYD MEAD is.
Mead has been a huge inspiration to me for over 30 years.
Some of his work will be familiar to you if you ever saw
"Blade Runner" or "Tron". Enjoy!

Those are great Gary, thanks. I recently came across a bunch of 'like new' Nat'l Geographics from '66-'73. All the ones from '66- '69 have the wide-track Pontiac adds in them which sent me soaring. My son and I spent a day scanning, cleaning up a saving them. Yeah, baby!

[ynottayblock]

a little OT, but i always loved the avanti but put a mustang fastback inspired roof on it. Soon to be coloured.

Ok, here are some worthless photos of some drawings I did. The channeled coupe is part of a set of three. Maybe I will scan them and post them in another art show.:confused: Rad stuff guys!

[danagamer]

The Funnies!

[GaryC.]

Bumpstick... Jigger... glad I posted the Mead pictures.
Actually though, pictures number 2 and 3 were built.
Number 2 was known as the "Innovari", designed for and built by the United States Steel Corp. in Pittsburgh, Pa. I once saw it from the eighth floor of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 1968. One of our classrooms overlooked a parking deck. On the roof of that deck sat the Innovari, a 1959 T-bird and a 1936 Ford Coupe... all manufactured with STAINLESS STEEL skins. Precursors to the Delorean... by 20 years!

The car in picture 3 was commissioned by a gentleman in Cleveland. Whoever built it didn't quite capture Mead's lines... although it looked good. I only recall ever seeing one photo of it.

why is it that every friday just seems to get better than the last...I really appreciate the talent everyone demonstrates each week and want to thank everyone for sharing.

Here's few things I did this week and one older one...these are all going into the Final Friday show here in wichita at Hooligan Hot Rods new shop.

Anyone in the area want to come hang out...just PM me and I'll give you directions.

Thanks again everyone.

I'm posting some automotive illustrations
that are a bit off topic but as artists who appreciate
the skilled works of legendary image makers I think you'll
like these. Some of you may know who SYD MEAD is.
Mead has been a huge inspiration to me for over 30 years.
Some of his work will be familiar to you if you ever saw
"Blade Runner" or "Tron". Enjoy!

Thanks! Sure I know Syd Mead, I have seen couple of his books, but I don't own any.

[Dutch Courage]

Why? If you know a better way to paint at that scale, I'd love to hear about it!

I've tried the grid method in the past, but it doesn't really work with the layered composition style that I'm working in now. I thought about doing the large graphic elements with silkscreens, like Andy Warhol, but I ultimately decided against it because I thought the image reproduction would be too perfect.

I learned a variation of the technique I use now when I was doing signpainting. After creating the sign image at a smaller scale, it was scaled up with the projector, and transferred to a paper template, then scored with one of those pounce wheel things, then the image was transferred on site using a pounce bag. this was the template that was used to paint the sign.


Just to clarify, I'm not anti-computer at all. (I compose these paintings in Photoshop, after all...) A computer is a tool, and like any tool, it can be used or abused. Also, as any artist will tell you, when you are under deadline, all bets are off, and you will use whatever it takes to finish the job!

Coop666; I'm not putting you down or down or anything. Hey, I've even bought your books :).

I use projectors and computers, anything that gets the job done. It's just that I sometimes feel a bit silly when I'm in the process of tracing a large projected design that I've already done on a small scale: Doing the small scale design was all the fun and got the creative juices flowing, you know. That was the real "human touch". Slaving away at the large piece after that isn't much fun anymore. Wouldn't it be nice to do a nice big painting all freehand? I agree with you however that using a projector for paintings this large is the best option for your style of work.

[John "MASK" Maschke]

ok, is this show getting earlier and earlier????

awesome work everyone........i get excited every friday morning now, for the inspiration......

i started on a new tolied seat with a tribute to kenneth Howard.....lets just say, theres a lot of gold leafing...see that in a few weeks....
anyhow...heres some small panelles i did up last night for fun...

Dodge Dart -65 (OK so its a year too young). Lowered, a bit dechromed, tinted windows, 17 inch wheels with reversed full moon caps and Jaguar D-type spinners. A deeper grille and thinner bumpers of your choise. rolled pan. Cheap to build and run. I have actually been thinking of building this myself.

"I can say I’ve been a fan of your work since i saw the Lords of Acid cover and even with a computer I don’t know if I can achieve your perfection"

Damn, I used to rock that to death. Now with kids and Christ in my life, I just can't do it anymore, but those are some really wicked beats.

[JeffreyJames]

meteor Those paintings are really cool. Do you have any repros of those that you are selling?
COOP666 Painting looks really good. I agree that computers are taking a bit of that "raw feel" out of a lot of art work. I know that I am mostly using illustrator now and I find myself trying to replicate a distressed effect on my work. Buy anyways, the painting looks really good.
As for everybody else, it's another great week. Everybody on this site always pushes me to new levels.

[LOWCAB]

Here's one I dug out of my RETRO ART file. I think I did this one in 1982. I wound up donating it
for a prize at a car show. Just want to say thanks to all the artists on here for bringing me back
to the art that I love. Thanks for the compliments also.

Don't worry, I wasn't insulted. but i was curious to know just what you meant.

I get what you're saying, and I agree to a certain extent. However, when I transfer a small image I've drawn to a large canvas, I always find myself making adjustments and changes along the way, as the change in scale will sometimes make images look a little screwy without that adjustment. Also the projector never gives a clean perfect image, so there is a lot of interprtation going on, especially when you are painting directly over the image, with no preliminary guides.

I love painting precisely because I've already made all the left-brain decisions by the time i get to the canvas, and I can go all right-brain and just dig on the application of paint and wrestling with the brush. It's a very zen thing, and kinda how I imagine pinstripers feel when they get into a groove throwing down those beautiful perfect lines.

Hey Coop - glad to see you using the signpainting techniques! I still use my projectors and perforate an occasional pattern although I usually project directly to the board. I got a single surface mirror (silvered on the outside so the image doesn't go through the glass layer twice) in the one projector that will blowup (enlarge) objects as large as quart bottles. The other projector has a flat-depth-of-field lens to minimize distortion but it isn't antistigmatic so the color bands are pretty noticable. Of course when working the size you do it helps to have plenty of space to back the projector up and a really dark studio.:D Another killer piece!

As far as using the computer to do your art, I leave that to people that can do it. I don't even want to start learning all that. I can see where I could use it, but it's not me. I would use a projector if it was something really big. I find that when you don't use guides and templates, you have to take a deep breath, have some steady nerves to get a ink line straight. Almost like pinstriping. Thats why I don't mind shakey lines sometimes, looks more human like you say. With that said, I marvel at computer art and how perfect it can be.
I personally draw everything by hand , and sometimes trace a drawing I already did. But I don't like too. It's like music and the first take or recording. It's usually the best because all the original energy ain't been sucked out yet. I will throw things in the pile if I can't improve on the original "energy".
Heres a bunch of one-offs, from the pile. Everything from nakid women to the amazing belt drive motorcycle powered modified!:D
A really good art show, I'm just sittin down to it......

...nuthin' new from me this week...but this is my brother's work. He got 85% of the artistic talent in the family.. the other 3 of us each got 5%. It's a tiny watercolor { i think} 'bout 4" X 6" that he did for an outhouse calendar. I own the original .

[Bumpstick]

I thought I'd chime in on this one. I do most of my work in Photoshop (but it's just the tool I'm most comfortable with) You still have to have the idea. I generally like to flesh out the idea in sketch form, scan it in and the use it as a roadmap and less of a template. The computer frees me up to take an idea in any direction I prefer. Trust me, there are still 'happy accidents'. This is where I started:

Another great Art Friday! Kudos to everyone.Here are a couple of vintage tackle boxes I picked up last weekend.All I've done so far is lay down some outlines;not sure where I want to go with these yet.Been thinking about painting a,"PINSTRIPING BY ..."and leaving a space for the new owner to fill in his or her name along with some lettering.
One is steel and the other aluminum.The aluminum one has some small dents in the top and are a bear to get at the back of so I think I will leave them in for effect.The steel one is virtually dent-free and still has the factory cork liners in the trays.The guy I got them from supposedly has several more and is bringing them down this weekend.I can't wait.

[Broman]

This is the last thing I'm going to say this week.

Besides Janne and Surf Monkey - I need to also acknowledge that I was also hugely inspired by 1320Paul.

And for my next work I am looking really closely at Von Hartmann and Bumpstick.

Truely amazing work.


Von Hart - I can feel your pain brutha - hard to imagine haw cool those sketches look in person....digi pics have big limitations. Makes me feel a little better about how mine looks to everyone.



It'll be quite a while before I get to post another piece. I have two O/T drawing requests in the batters' box. I will be doing a couple tatoo flash pieces and an Eagle for a little kid who is getting his Ealge Scout badge or whatever.

I have never made a dime off my work, I usually do it for the fun of it (aka the fix mentioned above) - so it feels like doing a rail of coke when this art community gives me praise. Thanks to everyone who patted me on the back, you have no idea what it means to hear pros like you all to tell me I have done well.

Another terrific week everyone. It would be a ridiculous list if I wanted to comment on all the good stuff I see here, so I'll spare you form that....


Later!

WOW! Always a great show, here's a few things from me....

Well I did another stencil this week. I only got 6 different prints out of it before it self destructed on me.
This was only a 2 stencil but I used different colors on each layer to get color blends. Hope you like them.
I was going to make myself a shirt from it but the stencils are toast.

On the darker sheets I used silver spray paint blending to the blue.

Cool lookin boxes, but I would think a pinstriper would want to pinstripe his own stuff????

[Blown 61]

Thanks for the nice words from everyone.

I'm really happy that everyone digs the rougher, looser painting style that I'm trying to get into. I've been going in that direction because I think that computer apps like Illustrator and Photoshop are making art and graphics too slick and perfect, and a little inhuman-looking. There is a better connection made when you can see that imperfection and individuality in art that shows a human touch.

Needless to say, the same holds true for hot rods!

I dig your style of overlaying parts on the chick, I hope you dont mind if I borrow that style for some ink I am going to get, I have a chick that I am getting on my arm and thinking an injector of some sort layed over top of her would be cool. Thanks
