May I start the Friday Art Show,it's 12.01.......

[Retroline]

Just had to beat Who Daky once. It's just turned Friday in Australia and this is a bog seat I've been working on and finished this week. I still need to work the top side and the actual seat and then poop proof it all with lots and lots of clear.

[CherryBlossom]

Wow !!! thats great http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

(caffeine beat you to starting the art post though http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif)

[Retroline]

I missed caffeine's post, but I do believe he was an hour early. This is ultra smooth Harpoon painting the scooby doo van to be Kid Rockers Rolls and Pleats transporter.

[Retroline]

The finished product.....

[KCsledz]

the striping on the van looks great!

I will have to take a digi shot of what I recently finished when I get home tonight.

[Jester]

[MikeO]

I did alot last night but I'll have to get more pics for tommorow

[MikeO]

Rob I like the Idea but I dont have too many old pics. Im just now figuring out that I should have taken more. Most of them that Ive taken to put on here just get erased so I can find the new ones http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[MikeO]

Ive done alot of paintin the last couple days http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I will have more to show from last night tommorow

This is becomming the Thursaday art show. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[hillbillydeluxe]

Exactly my point on the OTHER topic. WTF? What about a just-post-when-the-fuck-you-want-and-label-it-"Friday" artpage.

I don't mind posting art at all, but unless I'm in an alcohol-fueled coma, it's Thursday in my world right now.

how bout the "posted on thursday not intended to read until Friday art show" would that make you feel better http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I just like friday http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif it dont hurt to pretend its friday on thursday kinda like two fridays a week http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

As mentioned on the other post, the purpose was to have a single post instead of several posts. As long as we have a single post called "The Friday Art Show", it serves its purpose even if it startes on Tuesday.

Look at the "life" of the typical Friday Art Show post - at least 'til Tue/Wed of the following week & running into several pages (all great stuff).

So relax if you can't comprehend the purpose behind the name. It's evolving while serving the same purpose.

Kidding. I like to see art threads whenever. I wish I had 1/2 the talent as some of you guys on the board.

[hillbillydeluxe]

I know, I know (with tail 'tween the legs). Got all fired up and confused when I saw the word "Friday", and now I'm despondent that I have to wait 24 hrs til the weekend.

Mass Butcher, I'll take your advice and post my "I'm PMS-ing and don't have any Midol" thread.

But I do feel a little bloated. . . . . . http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I second that....

Can't we just enjoy the art? It got it's name and the name stuck. We all know what's going on when someone posts the topic. That's good enough for me. I suppose you won't watch re-runs of Saturday Night Live on Comedy Central 'cause it's not Saturday and it's not "live".....it's against the rules.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Now that I got that out of my system. Fine work on the ...what was it? - bog - seat.....Aussies are so weird. They talk different and have Fridays too early...rebels, all of 'em....lol.

I won't play favorites, I am going to watch both FRIDAY art shows. I gotta see if I have my first pinstriping attempt in my digi pics for the other post. I don't have any new art to post here...sorry.

[BARNETT]

I usually just call it the "Weekend Art Show", I think....still won't solve the "Thursday" hang-up though. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

ON another note...Mike0 - LOVE the bowling pins...all of the ones you've done have been awesome http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif And that toilet seat...if it's possible to be in love with a toilet seat, that is the one Id love. It's my colors http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I always thought the bug needed a toilet seat..... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Just so I'm fair and balenced I figured I'd put a couple pics on this so aswell...

Couple of dumb questions...

...are you guys finding real bowling pins, turning your own, or is there somewhere to get blanks? Not too many old bowling alleys in my area.

When did painting toilet seats become the thing to do? Great work, but... toilet seat? Cheap and easy to find I guess? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Jester]

I was wondering about the bowling pins myself as for the toilet seat I'm in process on one but I figured since my lines are so shitty anyway it just makes good sense http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The one bowling alley here will give the old pins away. They change them out fairly often and will give the old ones to you if you ask. Or dumpster dive for them....

[/ QUOTE ] Yes thats it when marbilizer first came to my area I had a guy that wanted his bike done in kandied marbilizer and I try everything first I was goin through walmart and seen toilet seats for 4 dollars easy to prep easy to paint and cheap so I did it then pinstriped it for fun. well right away someone wanted on for there house then his friend wanted one and so on.Ive sold about 50 or more since.The bowlin pins I was just lucky a friend of mine (also into kustom paintin)knew a gut that made the wood pins and then sent them out to be covered in plastic and finished. When the guy died about a year ago my friend bought cases of them we split the bill and the pins. now were almost out so were looking for more

[whodaky]

To rant or not to rant? Well I brought up Caffiene's Friday Art post for the week after scanning a bunch of stuff to post. Then I read a few of the posts decrying the'early start'. I decided not to post any images and wrote out a piece saying so, then I had it up on my screen for about a hour hour thinking about whether I should post it. Well after much thought I decided to delete it and just send the images I had planned on sending.
Then this morning I get get back on and check out Caffiene's post again and then come onto Skippy's post. Even more comment on early posting. I don't believe the people who are posting these oppostions to early starts really understand how much the people who post their art in here look forward to the art post.
These art posts are very important.As I have stated before it is one big thank tank a place for people to show their work and see others work. A place for those who don't contribute art to see what others are doing.
The time of day the hour the what ever is relative. To much in this world is driven by time. I believe in doing stuff for enjoyment and that doesn't mean it has to be Friday or whenever to do that. You make time for the things you enjoy doing! More people should think out side the square.
I see this opposition to the early starts as having the effect of stifling creativity. For the beginners amongst us, who are often a bit wherey of posting. They may become intimidated by the opposing posts. One should remember that the creative mind can be very fragile. Fragile to the degree that the slightest thing can hinder the creative progress.
As I said earlier I nearly didn't post any images this week and if I hadn't, would have seriously considered not posting any images in the future. And really in the greater scheme of things that would not have really mattered. Because the art posts here would just go on. I do enjoy showing my work here but it wouldn't matter to me if any one never saw any of my work ever. I love my striping and what I produce and what other peole think of it matters not to me.
Yup it turned into a rant! But sometimes things need to be put done in words,as well as in art. Geoff aka Whodaky

PS I am not a rebel, not weird and not cracked, but an Aussie yes. I am me when it is all said and done!

Way to go Geoff!I couldn't agree more.Who cares what day it is?And for you to consider never posting again would do a great disservice to this board.I personally look forward to seeing your work(thanks for the GREAT panel BTW)especially your scale vehicles(they aren't models).
So until the powers that be decree that Friday Art Posts have to be actually posted on Friday(I think you stand a better chance of winning the lottery than hearing that)please continue as you were.And if you even THINK of quitting posting,I might have to fly down there and lay a little whoopass on ya! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Are the Intro Police wannabees transferring to Friday Art Show duty ? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

SO FUCKING WHAT if someone DARES to post something they are proud of on a Thurday.

Nobody complains if someone adds to the Friday art show thread on Saturday,Sunday,Monday...
Maybe he's late for last weeks show.

If it bothers you that Fucking much,
the next time you see a post called "Art Show",do us a favor,don't look!

[alteredpilot]

hey jester, it looks like your work is taking on a new life. looking good!! -or- maybe its just the clear photos! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

anyway here's an update on the panel i'm working on for a HAMB auction. just wanted to get a buzz going before its done. anyway, its the first thing i've ever lettered and i'm pretty proud of it. its far from done. hope to have it done by next friday. whaddya think?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v364/alteredpilot/Mvc-008f.jpg

[slammed]

Art! Is One of the few thing's (topic's) that are positive and exspressive of inspiring creativty. Sour Grape's and 'intro police' can hit the brick's. Friday's U.S. and Down Under can not arrive soon enough.

[safariknut]

Here's some "Anytime Art"(it's gotta be,"sometime"somewhere)that I just did for a guy tonight to complemment the bike I did for him last week.The eagle head was on the tank(along with the rest of the eagle)but he just wanted the head on the helmets.
The next piece is something I found at a friend's yard sale today for $5.He found it in the apartment he rented after the people moved out.It's about 2 feet high and flame-cut out of 1/4" steel with brackets on the back that look as if it were mounted on a wall originally.We were speculating that it might have come from the old Tiger Stadium or possibly the Detroit Free Press newspaper building.Anyhow it's a "wall-hanger" now.
The next is a pic of the tailgate on my Syclone that I lettered about 6 years ago.It's in my garage now for new vacuum lines and a new fuel pressure regulator.
And the last is a pic of my garage with toys.

Yeah, I'm the bum that started the second Art post.No offence intended,just thought I'd be the first even though I don't post on them on a regular basis.I missed Caffeine's post and was going to delete this but after the negative replies,some positives happened. I guess the shit hit the fan with this,but I just wanted to see some neat artwork and contribute what I could.It's now Saturday night and I would like to add some more.............

I can tell you one thing if Geoff didn't post here anymore I'd be very dissapointed its because of him and several others here that I've continued to stay so motivated.....Geoff you better not leave cause if you do there is a whole lot of us newbe, wantabe, artist that will miss out on a very talented and different style that is Whodaky........

Now with that said how about a seperate forum here on the hamb just for the art show?
