I was just thinkin' the same thing... looking for an art show. It's been a while. My excuse comes in the form of a 67 bonneville wagon.

[Dutch Courage]

Great to see some hand-brush art, Lowcab and Dankyd!

OK, couldn't let the current Car-Toon Art Challenge pass without contributing!

This car I've long been wanting to do a cartoon of; Verne Hammond's '34 Coupe.

I got a little carried away on the detailing; see close-up below. I guess that's the price you pay when you're doing vector art; you keep zooming in on the screen all the time adding stuff. The tool is Adobe Illustrator.

Dankyd- sweet work as usual, esp. Midnight in LA
Dutch & gearhead- great designs. very clean

I did this one for a buddy of mine. It's a painting of his mom on her ol Harley from 1939-1940. Cheers :cool:

Damn you guy's are all amazing painters. Von Franco, I really dig the fact that you can't tell that piece was done on the computer. A really nice traditional aproach to the medium. Very impressive so far.

[Iamagearheadru]

Von Franco....I need to get some tips from you on that Wacom...I hate mine...I cant do anything on it....seems too sensitive:???

[Clysdale]

Great stuff already wow.....here is what I got done this week for the Tiki Oasis show in San Diego...

some silkscreened and painted stuff i did for a show i have in philly this monthhttp://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u272/jimhively/DSCF1307.jpghttp://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u272/jimhively/DSCF1305.jpghttp://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u272/jimhively/DSCF3775.jpg

Wow-- nice work everyone. Dutch-- that's awesome! VonF-- Wacom rocks! (I tell people all the time that using a comuter w/out a Wacom tablet is like someone trying to play piano with oven mitts on!)

I'magearhead-- you can adjust the sensitivity of the tablet in the control panel/system preference screen. If you're using a Graphire, they do seem a little too clunky for me, but I use a 9x12 Intuos.

Couple of shirt designs I've done for some upcoming shows.

[Jigger]

WOW! What a start. Incredible; upping the ante from last week. Just amazing stuff guys.

The following is OFF TOPIC

Hope to add car stuff before the week end but, for now, here's the Arylic painting my newly 13 year old daughter Abby did for her Mom's Birthday. It's her first free form painting. I need to get her to do some hot rods...

I have seen some very impressive art on this site but for the first time I found one that absolutely took my breath away...WOW!!:eek:

[Dutch Courage]

Love the way you have tackled those, Cheater Casey!

[GREASEMONKEY72]

there is no better art than hotrod art

[Bman416]

Great start to the show everyone. I feel like a real slacker lately. I've had nothing to contribute. the three panels I painted for Arties Party at the Syracuse Nationals came out great. Everyday I forgot the camera. I do have pics but they are from the guy who took them then made an album on photobucket. They are really small.

Ubermustang, fantastic as usual.

Brian

[Jonnyhotrod]

Some of you may have seen this before, but this oil portrait was just published in Communication Arts 2008 Illustration Annual, which I'm pretty happy about. It's a 24"X36" Oil painting of my junk man, Carlton Bate. He's been a HUGE help to me over the years collecting parts for my current hot rod project as well as a few more for the future. He's one of the few left of a dying breed that REALLY cares about old cars and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to identifying oddball loose parts and how to make things that weren't intended to fit together fit together... His yard is a treasure and so is he. He deserved to be immortalized in paint.

The other one is a little teaser detail of a work in progress of one of my favorite roadster... don't wanna give too much away on this one yet. The painting is already sold, but prints will be available when I finish it. It's got a ways to go yet; but will come together quickly once my coupe is on the road and I get back to work.

Jonny

ps- Dig the Harley Mom, ubermustang. :)

[Irish Dan]

You guys continue to put out some really nice stuff. I really look forward to these posts from week to week now. Keep up the good work!

[ToddJ]

As usual there are some realy high quality pieces of art out here! GaryC...you pic is awesome, I must get a print!!!1 Ubermustang, that is a really bitchin' painting. Everyone rocks! Lookin' forward to this weeks posts. Too cool, way too cool! Here's a few of mine, hope you all dig.

[Rough Stock]

This is all original work that I have done. Rough Stock is a term used to describe cattle, bred for rodeo use. It's a bit wilder, and rougher. Like my work.
I use highend materials. Everything is American hand made.
Rough Stock is garaunteed to last, even after you've passed.

[BigNick1959]

I didn't do anything "motor" related this week so I thought I'd go back in the vault and pull a couple out from 1974. Note the fish scales and fogging, what was old is new again!. Sorry for the crappie photos but they were taken on one of Kodaks new pocket cameras with 110 film and the neg's were the size of an ants ass!!.

Clysdale... I really dig your style as well. I am particularly a fan of all the marriachi, bandido stuff.
Great work.

[Clysdale]

Thanks rufstoksilver, with the Day of the Dead Festivals coming up in a few months it's going to be all Marriachis and Banditos pouring out of the studio!

[beatnikontinental]

Damn Franco - you are doing amazing things on that computer now - really looks like natural media and not digital at all. Killer stuff!

Great show guys, thanks for showing

[Zumo]

I too am a big fan of that stuff and am trying to get some illustrations going my self. Here is sketch on a post-it of an idea I have very similar to your avatar. I will shoot for getting it done for next weeks art show.

[Clysdale]

one of my favorite subjects zumo...cool idea! I have pages of sketches I need to get slapped down in paint. All the Day of the Dead stuff is great....check out all the works of Posada and you can get inspired!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Guadalupe_Posada

looking through his stuff you can see just how much his work has been copied and reworked...

Some of the edges show up strange, don't know why.
Just something else to post.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Guadalupe_Posada

looking through his stuff you can see just how much his work has been copied and reworked...


Dude - I have never seen Posada's work.
The very first time I ever did a painting was a "dead" painting for my Spanish instructor. She wanted a banner for the Dia de los Muertos party that she was throwing for all of the Spainish students and she wrangled me into doing it.

It was before the internet - so no Googling for images...but it's super cool to see how close I came to straight up stealing this style....


Great show today.

Hey Broman,

His work really defined a whole movement...and gave everyone a starting point. Always a great source of ideas and starting points.

[Jokem59]

Following along with clysdale amd zumo, here are some photos from a recent car show. Skulls on autos...

[Von Franco]

Well here you go last one for this week.Just finished this one last nite.Great show everybody
there are so many people with talent it scares me lol.One thing I would like to say is thanks to a guy who showed me what a wacom was and that is Mike Jang and gave me my first tip.Two is Jeff Norwell for all the phone calls and keeping me from trashing my new wacom and tosing my computer in the trash.Well back to getting my hands dirty in the garage,
and going back to my brushes...............

Endsville Von Franco............

Great stuff this week guys! Von Franco,AWESOME! Ger, love the coupe! Gary, Lowcab cool as usual! This a bit O/T, but I just got finished sculpting(high density foam) and painting the menu board for "Georgie Porgies". It's a custard stand here in Oak Creek WI. with a car show every Saturday. It just needs a clear coat and installation. Sorry about the quality of the pics.

Great work Del! I love sculpting foam.

Here's some links only (since they're non-automotive, sorry) to my latest foam sculptured goodness.

Man I love HDU.

I haven't built a sign in a few years now - really miss that stuff.

I wish I could still get ahold of some of that stuff. I wanted to use it to make a buck for fiberglass body parts... Never did get that far.

Thanks for those who are plugging the Friday Art Show Talent group! (see my sig. for a link).

[A32Flathead]

WOW.....I'm blown away this week...Ubermustang....wow, just incredible work....

Well... dunno if its art, but here's my new Pontiac 'resting' on her way home last night, waiting for a man with a fuel can :rolleyes:

Shot with my cell phone camera on 'sepia' setting.

people taking pictures with a phone. what is this world coming to?

nice Pontiac. I figure when you buy an old car you need to run out of gas once to see where E actually is on the gauge.

[Del Swanson]

Cool stuff Rob, thanks Joel. I don't do a lot of signs(only for people I know). I have a lot of friends who are sign painters and they don't need one more shmuck who thinks he knows what he's doing competing for their bread and butter. Again, great show this week!

These are from last weekend's Murder City Rumble in Deeeeeetroit, Michigan at The Majestic. I already posted them on a thread specific to that event, but I hope folks don't mind a re-post...

What can I tell ya....I nearly always have my 'point n press' camera with me when I go out, but when I don't, its handy to have the phone thing with me.....

As for where the 'E' is....your not wrong :D

[Zumo]

Isn't cool how a lot of Hot Rodders are artists and vice versa. I think it's because of our desire to be different.

Bondage fetish unicycles? Interesting...

My first attempt at a drawing, scanned and worked with photoshop. Turned out very cartoony.

[49ratfink]

I seem to have a hard time grabbing a pencil and doing actual art, so here's my latest fun on the computer. I love the art style they had back in the day.

just look how happy and white everybody was back in 1949.... and don't forget your hat and coat if you are leaving the house.
