FRIDAY! FRIDAY! ART ATTACK!

[safariknut]

Hey it's 12:01;if the Aussies can do it so can we! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Busy week this week but not too busy to have some fun.A "nearly-finished" pic of the FBBMA and a couple of bike pics.The bike was done in Dark Blue and Maroon and for some reason it looks like Bright Red and Process Blue on this color.Depending on which way you view the stripes,they look alternately light and dark.
The panel was done on a solid oak cabinet door.I bought three of them for $3 at a yard sale!After striping I lightly coated the panel with the Dupli-Color Mirage Ice paint and then cleared it.Looks wild in the sunlight!

Finally, I thought Friday would never start..early. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Where are the damn Aussies at, they're the best excuse for the jump starts.

[Bass]

I haven't posted on one of these in a while, but here's the firewall I just did last week...(the pic's kind of at a weird angle that makes it look a little off-center...it's not.) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Johnny Ace]

BASS...it's good to see your work again...make it more often?

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Wow! Great art attack already! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Before ya know it we'll be posting on Tuesday for Friday. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ray and Barnett: Very nice! I really like the cupboard door, Ray. Awesome!

Bass: I love that style. Very nice!

Ok, here's some stuff I meant to post last Friday and digital took the proverbial shit on me. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

These are my PVC "Practice Panels" and they are rough. Plexi glass from now on. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

The first is something I'm sending to Ratster for his shows doorprize giveaway.

The second one here unfortunately got ruined after I accidentally dropped a length of packing tape across it. I so carefully tried to get it off and it severely took too much design off. Oh well! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

This was fun and we'll do it again!

Joel http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[BARNETT]

Thanks Tuck & PPoC, ffor the compliments.

PPoC...really nice panels! I dig the panel with the lettering...your lettering is snappy as hell!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[loudpedal]

We are at the start of a new project for one of our club's members. He's going to build a ford roadster with a flathead. So I thought I would have my brother draw up some 'quick' drawings of a few roadsters to help him choose which roadster to build. When my brother brought them over, (the next day) I couldn't believe it! Check these drawings out. He is really getting good.

34 roadster:

This would probably be a good time to introduce myself, since hot rod art is all I have to talk about http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif hehe.. My name is Richard, I'm from Victoria, BC Canucktown.. I'm an electronics tech by trade.. I'm learning to stripe and slowly getting better at it.. I fell in love with striping by watching a few people at island invasion.. I won some money at a casino down in the states and spent it on some paint and brushes while I was in port angeles on my way back from Seattle. As far as cars go, I don't have a rod yet, but I've got some old stuff. I own a Vespa P200 and a First gen honda Civic 1200.. I think it's the only car Honda made with chrome bumpers. It's a car only it's owner could enjoy http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif anyway.. the reason I'm posting here is to show off a couple of things I striped recently http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

First off is the Helmet which is still drying up as we speak.

-Richard

And the jet tool box I striped for my bro

I always feel a little awkward starting the Friday Art post, because we are so far ahead of the rest of the world here in Aust (time wise that is!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif). So I only do it occassionally ( but not this week though).
Hey nice stuff so far guys and welcome Rich^Vic.
Ok I'll start with a model I built a while back. Well it started out as a soft plastic childs toy. But I have a passion for midget racers and saw this toy as a great start to build the Yellow Racing Team Special. A lot of work and stainless TIG wire in this one. Geoff aka Whodaky

Hillbillydeluxe, those are frickin' awesome, man. You can say a lot with a few lines.

Good work all around, as always. Keep it comin'.

Here's our new band artwork. Sean (Dday) our singer did the drawing and I fancied it up a bit. He's not on the HAMB but he's building a 52 Olds.

[scrapmetalart]

O/T but this is what i worked on this week. Silver bracelet with amethyst.

[scrapmetalart]

here is another one from this week. both are sterling silver bracelets.

[hillbillydeluxe]

are those digital? or watercolor/pastel/airbrush? curious - they look great.

-- raaf

Thanks for the props. They're a combination of both. Scribbled the mani linework by hand, then worked the crap out of 'em in Photoshop. The roadster was made into a banner 12 feet long and printed on canvas for our show.

I need to add a few more pics to the site though.

[Cword]

This picture could be better, but I thought it was good enough for a September wallpaper (http://www.fsra.org/calendar/)

[MikeO]

OK I felt bad for not having anything new for this week so I grabbed a piston out of my truck and did this at lunch

[MikeO]

WOW that pic makes it look bad http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif It really does look alot better than that. Hey Kustombuilder this is for you, when you get it you'll have to let everyone know the lines are straight http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Buick59]

Just shot this last Sunday. Not every body gets a Nuclear blast in the background of a photoshoot! Can you dig it!

[bdrake]

Something I just finsihed up, well not finished but done enough for today.
Some nice work there from the new guys and the regulars.

http://billdrakeart.com/Illustrations/Images/launch.jpg

[hillbillydeluxe]

Did this at lunch a while back. Screwing around at work.....

http://www.motorcityhotrod.com

[Buick59]

here is another. After an hour the cloud went miles up and look exactly like a blast over Hirioshima! It was scarey lookin. As shit luck would have it....I was outta film.

I called my wife outta the garage to come and look. At first she actually thought is was a real Nuke blast! HAHAHAH

[ShortBus]

What a stellar shot Mike. That cloud is amazing.

[safariknut]

WOW!Too much great stuff this week!
Here's a couple pics of my surfboard before the "shark"(aka the trusty B&D sabresaw)got it.Also three panels I did this afternoon along with a couple of helmets.These were all yard sale finds.Two of the panels are 3X5 note pad holders with glittery plastic covers.The other panel is a small piece of painted particle board with holes in the back to hang on a wall.The helmets were near-new except for a couple of drop dings.I got them at the same place I bought the engine-run tire inflator for $5 apiece.The panels set me back an astounding thirty cents for all.

[safariknut]

the other side.BTW the circle on the top is the original decal.I masked it off before painting.Anyone ever hear of a Good Day Sunshine board?

Shaking my head here in amazement. What a Friday, so much neat stuff. It is hard not to be inspired. For the beginner looking for direction this is the place to be on a Friday. So many differing types of 'Art'. So many styles. So much that is unique. All presented by people with a real passion for their 'art'. And for those new here this week, you will find that you can ask any one here for advice and they are only to willing to offer it along with any little secrets that may assist.
Was just sitting here thinking. Imagine what a show it would be if all 'our' art was physically displayed in the one place at the same time!. I know that will never happen because we are spread right across the world. But it is something neat to think about.
I do feel so privileged to have found the HAMB, a place that has let me be exposed to so much neat stuff. But to be able to see all this hot rod art, most of which I may never have seen if it wasn't for the HAMB. Like most people who produce art, I toil away in the solitude of my own little world. So it is good to be able to venture out of that little world each week, into the unknown of the 'Friday Art' world. To each and everyone of you who contribute here, be it with art or just comments and encouragement, I thank you. It does mean a lot and makes us feel we are not alone.
Wow, been a few weeks since I had a rant, ah well, some things I just need to express in words occassionally.
But I'll add an image to make the up for the rant. This is one of my favorite striping pieces that I did earlier in the year. Kind of like the artist's solitude behind the lines. Did it at time when I had a few issues happening in my life. It is a time when I produced some interesting works. Geoff aka Whodaky

Thanks rick.....there was a forest fire just on the other side of those Mtns. And as the fire grew so did the size of the mushroom cloud. I wish I didnt run outta film. It was one of the more amazing sights I've seen.

I have a question for ya rick. On yer web page there is a picture of a buick shootin some flames outta the pipe. Is that shot done with natural light? Or did you have some lighting set up?

Where it all begins...

[ShortBus]

http://members.cox.net/rickamado/55buick01.jpg

It's natural light Mike. The sun was going down behind cloud cover so it was mostly dark. Set the camera for a sloooowww shutter speed (15-30 seconds) so he'd have plenty of time to get the flames on while the shutter was open.
The white light you can see on the deck lid is from the license light (only one worked) in the overriders. The lights on the car are usually the only artificial lights I like to use...

[SanDiegoJoe]

The assist...

[SanDiegoJoe]

Did this last Friday (I think). It's the timing cover for a 225 Slant 6.

[safariknut]

Just a couple of update pics on the helmets I did tonight and then it's off to bed and wake up early to go to the Ed Roth show in Bluffton Indiana.

[safariknut]

the other one

[safariknut]

it's amazing what a second color will do to change the look.

[Carps]

WOW!

Took some photers last week that I thought might be OK for the Friday Art Show,, but this weeks stuff makes my shit look like just like shit. So. tomorrow I go rod runnin with the big camera and a couple rolls of Vpan.

Awesome stuff guys, keep it coming.

Oh yeah, Whodaky's models are usually more awesome than his lines, the man is wasted doin fabrication work for a living.

[G V Gordon]

Well as ussual I am in awe of the talent here. I didn't have anything to contribute till about twenty minutes ago.

I hosed off the Grand Prix for a little run tomorrow and my wife got a call that a friend of ours was in labor, so she took off to the hospital and I decided to stripe my trunk. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[whodaky]

no way, all the stuff I build at work is art. Industrial art, that has an application!!!! The last really big piece was like 60 Ton, but hey not only me building it! A hole bunch of artisans! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Geoff aka Whodaky!

[ratster]

Not sure if I posted this before. Great show again! Thanks guys!

[50dodge4x4]

How about a little car- art? Gene

[50dodge4x4]

Or maybe a little truck? Gene

[50dodge4x4]

I think the other side of the truck came out better.

[50dodge4x4]

Go Karts were always fun. I almost got the sedan done in time. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif It's almost as much fun building these steel cars in miniture as the real things are, but the little cars are cheaper to build and take a lot less time.

Geez, now I'm embarrased. Guess I'll hafta dig something out for next Friday.

Might have got something on Sunday. Car show in dark parking lot, usually delivers some decent images as a result of guessing which causes over/under exposure.

If that film turns out to be crap, I guess I can find something in my archives or I can get out and do some more striping.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I'd love to be able to cut lose in our plant with the camera, but it's too dangerous when it's working and a waste of time when it's not.

Be fun to run some lines on some of the equipment, specially the big 12,000 ton presses. There's enough surface area on those puppies to keep us all busy for a year. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[scrapmetalart]

Wodaky: your work is a breath of fresh air. I have thought the same thing about a HAMB art show. I am working on building a gallery in Dayton Ohio mostly of Hot rod inspired art. I will be in contact with the HAMB artists within the next year for work. Even if we are spread out all over I think we can do something.
