Since we lost a great artist and hamber very recently......I felt we should dedicate this weeks ART show in memory of Bill Drake.

He was one of the first guys I met here and was a gentleman,familyman and great guy.

Bill, I hope your burning rubber with St. Peter thru the pearly gates.

JimmyB-- Nice work. The red/maroon version of the Cole-built 36 is pretty cool.

Fortypickup--- that "Backseat Driver" is great. One of your best yet IMO!

Norwell & Surf Monkey--- I have always admired (to put it lightly) both of your work... yall definitely keep raising the bar!

I've been so busy I missed reading about BDrake. Sad to hear... will be praying for the family.

Hey guys, I was saddened to hear about Bill....Very talented individual. R.I.P Mate!

Quality work going on from all so far but a big hats off to Jeff with that startling array of fine work! Well impressed mate!

I have a couple this week, poss one more to add this evening if I get it finished.

First is an attempt at coloured pencils after seeing Monkeys awesome work week after week, bit grainy for my liking but should be getting some decent pencils and paper soon!

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y287/scott78/drawing.jpg

Next up, a piece that took a while to finish. Acrylic on canvas (for sale) Excuse the rubbish picture. My camera skills have gone awol! :)

I have another acrylic piece I'm working on today, so I'll hopefully get it posted tonight!

NO Way!

Damn, I've been away for a week and come back to find bad news.

Bill was a wonderful guy. I first met him online round about 1996.
At the time I was really impressed by his art and contracted him to do a rendering of my dad's '30 roadster which was at the time nearing completion.
In late 1996 I sent him build photo's and in early 1997 he finished the drawing. The car finally hit the street in August of 1997.

Hey guys, Sorry to hear about Bill Drake.I was always aware of his work thru the years and it was neat to see he was on the HAMB when I first got on here. His style will be missed! I decided to put my sketches I been doing for the last week on because I never have time to finish anything. Whatever comes to mind is what I usually do. Like for the last few weeks on the HAMB , Denise , hotrodladycruiser, was wanting some fiesta hubcaps for her Olds conv. That lead to me drawing a 48 with a Olds grille with a couple of bars missing with a bunch of fiesta flippers bolted to the bars making a toothy , fishy grin. Somebody brought up Cotton Werksman's T , had to see if I could still draw it from memory right quick to keep in practice. Then there is the Corvair with a chopped top and a furry package tray. The 60 Chevy front end is from a anotherthought to from left field comes a molded up oval window bug. Just take a convertible body and put a sedan roof back on it, make some window frames, ripple hubcaps, it would be cheap! Had to put something on. By the way, Norwell , everybody, great show!:D

I was going to say "best show yet" but then I want to say that every week.
Sad news about Mr Drake, but his passing should serve as an example to everyone to try to achieve excellence in all we do, the art that he created will stand as the best memorial that could ever be erected to his memory. He will always live on through his work, as will the rest of you talented people. You guys blow me away every week, great stuff.

To all the talented artists,great work this week in honour of such a talented man,R.I.P. BDrake.

Ok as promised, another from me. It's a small box canvas only 30cm by 30cm so it was tricky getting such small details. I tried to get photos but my camera keeps flashing back too bright and causing a glare so i inc a little pic so you can see the whole thing.

To get a decent pic of it, I wedged it in my scanner but it's made it a little bright. The colours are somewhere between the small photo and the large scanned image. Either way you get the idea! lol :) Hope you like it...

WOW! What a start! Mr. Norwell, your work is extraordinary, to say the least. You all must have been inspired to the max! This is one I did a few years back as a CD cover for my oldies CDs. The "Cops 'n' Rodders" theme is pretty cool.

Mr Norwell, you've outdone yourself. Fan-freakin-tastic stuff.

Missed out on Detroit because of the snow, so I stayed home and had an aesthetic outburst, as Jim White would say.

A couple of practice panels...

Something a little different
I thought I would try a little different style
this week. Rather than my usual, more realistic,
style I went for a bit more cartoonish, slightly
distorted look. Every now and then, you need
to do something a little different.

Forty... I got a big kick out of your mark-up on the DeSoto.
Makes me remember my merciless art director days.

Flying Polock... man that truck is pretty! The green is super-cool!

SurfMonkey... Looking good!

Mr. Paterson... nice pencil work! and the 32 roadster is just tooooo cool!

Jigger... the Catalina is looking mean-a!

LowCab... Niiiiiiiiiice!

Nix66... Great pix!

and... who's that Norwell guy? he's pretty good.
Great stuff Jeff!

And last...
I didn't know Bill Drake at all. But I remember the night he posted
that blue Fiat doing a little wheelie. I remember telling him how much I liked it.
I'm glad I did. Not to sound trite; but it's painfully clear that life IS too short.
My sympathies to those who knew him... his family and friends.

This news really hits me wrong. I rarely get an opportunity to meet a fellow artist - even more rarely to meet a fellow HAMBer who is an artist so meeting one at his level of skill and status...well let's just say it probably won't happen again.

I'll never forget meeting him by accident at the Pileup, and I certainly won't forget his words on that day.

He was a hell of a nice guy.

He'll be missed sorely - both around here on Fridays, and by his friends and family I am sure.

Damn.

RIP BDRAKE.

One thing I found out this weekend... The cool burgandy custom pictured above is a two page spread in the April 2005 Rod and Custom. They had it on display at the funeral home. I got back that night and immediately found a copy on ebay. Hopefully it will arrive soon. COOL.

I will spend some more time with this post later tonight. Looks like there is some AMAZING stuff here as usual.

Mister Paterson, Those images are fantastic. I'm going to try an acrylic here soon but it'll be tough to match your masterful work.

dRaGuLa_, Love the photos!

flyingP, Uno, fantastico Cheby, Bro! Viva la Polock!!!

Here's a couple black and whites for now. (The other two are stuck somewhere in cyber-space uploading to Photobucket.) These are works in progress and are also possible contenders for the Oh So Low art challenge show...

The ubiquitous, Chevy (rough)

A '65 Poncho sketch w/ 8 lug stockers snug down, low to the ground.

Jeff Norwell, your work is unbelevable. Any chance of us "Internationals" getting hold of a T shirt? That first BDrake painting(?) of the black fenderd Deuce roadster looks like a photo. His scale and lines are mathmatical.

Really sorry to hear about bdrake. I didn't know him but I really appreciated his artwork.

My inspiration this week comes from meteor a few weeks back with his 'chevy and companions'. My attempt at a chevy pickup. FlyingP I will try to get some color into this one in the future. Thanks for the inspirational words. A laser cut emblem(31" in length) from the same pick-up and a altered photo from a previous car show.
