[BLAKE]

I'll put my neck on the chopping block... Barnett gave me some old brushes, and about 30 minutes after the 1Shot arrived from Eastwood yesterday I slapped this down. I know it sucks, but it was the first time I ever put paint on the brushes. I see lotsa practice in my future... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

... and CAFFEINE rocks!

[Sport N Woode]

That's some cool ass work! I especially like the fender with the maltese cross. I just gotta know....did you catch any grief over using PINK.... on a bike? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif That is a killer looking bike though.

[caffeine]

actually its a females bike...she wanted it pink so her husband wouldnt ride the bike anymore.

functional....thats where its at!!!

http://s98005534.onlinehome.us/albums/grease_ball_09_25_2004/IMG_5593.sized.jpg

[Sport N Woode]

Hahahaa! Well she's one lucky girl!!! That's a wicked looking bike. Great job.

[safariknut]

Yeah I know;it ain't Friday yet,but I gotta get some sleep.Got a long day tomorrow.
First is a couple pics of a trash can I just did tonight.Then a couple of a mag wheel I did at Dayton last weekend for the auction(they were donated as being non-returnable warrnaty pieces).And finally another "Lady" I did there that Mike Mayabb bought.

[SinisterCustom]

Great pics caffine! I hate pink but that bike looks good with it and your striping is so simple and CLEAN so it works. I'm a little bummed that I've been soooo busy working haven't had time to stripe http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif.

And safari, those wheels looked like a pain in the ass to do. Look awesome!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Von Scott]

How do you guys get your pics up? I haven't been able to post some pics cause it says they are to big. Any ideas?

[Von Scott]

I'd like to put some of my work up so you guys can rag on me about it.

[Kojack]

Shrink it. Either make it smaller, or up the compression. It can't be any bigger then 70k.

[00 MACK]

Hey Caffeine,I know Ive said it before but yuor line consistancy rules!

[bradberry00]

here is a graphite illo i am working on....

bad scan, but it is a part of my version of a "Deco" city of the future....

[whodaky]

Great stuff as usual by all you arty goof offs.
Actually have done a few new pieces this last couple of weeks. As I have 8 striping images, I won't post any model stuff this week.
The first 3 are my favorites I these recent works. I photographed them last night in the garage. I think they really need to be photographed outside to do them any justice. Geoff aka Whodaky
Whoops, meant to say these are 2 el cheapo tool boxes I am doing as give aways for the model display at John's Rod and Custom Picnic. Each tool box will have all exterior surfaces striped and also a 'Whodaky' on the inside of the lid. One will be for the model I like the most and the other for the youngest modeler

Couple new T's.
One for Richard Patatoe, or Dick Tater as we call him http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

[k-member]

And how's about an oily Krank.

[Aushotrods]

Recently finished these. The 41 willys is the shitty billet Street Rod kit which i turned into a gasser.

[Aushotrods]

Tubbed the stude, raised the fornt crossmember to get it to sit lower, differant wheels and tyres and turned the twin blown hemi into a single, with the blower from the 55 chevy street machine kit. Whodaky i hope you like em, cause i like those toolboxes! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[rich^vic]

Hey folks, Just dropped by for the art show.. this one's still wet http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

-Richard

[whodaky]

Here we go again, couldn't get the images to load on my second post. Had to go out so here I am a couple of hours later.
The first 2 are one and the same, except with a little color added. Again these are on one of the tool boxes I mentioned in my earlier post. The other 2 are on the welding helmet I am working on for my nephew.
Hey Austhotrods that Stude could be a contender, although who knows what will turn up on the day. I don't necessarily go for the best built, but the one on the tables that catches my eye! Geoff aka Whodaky PS sorry for the blurry images!

The dragon fly pciture!!!! that kick's ass -

[zman]

Yeah Brush are you gonna make shirts with that on it?...

[G V Gordon]

Man what a great show so far!

Not sure if this qualifies as art but it did involve cuttin',weldin',grindin' and paintin'. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It it an antique floor lamp that I picked up at a garage sale. The top part had two arms broken off, so..., since my wife is a candle freak I decided it would make a good candle stick. I sawed the remaining bulb stalk off and did some file work to open the little horns around the top to hold pewter beads, then sectioned about 30" out of the center, The beads are strung on an old serpentine pewter necklace cut in thirds. I thought it turned out pretty good.

[lostparts]

damn BRUSH!!! that things killer.
here's a concept drawling of the truck we started this week.

[Steel Phoenix]

Love the lamp, G V!

I've been doing a little bit of pinstriping... here's my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th attempts, ever, at pulling lines...

2nd: This was my 2nd attempt at pulling lines and my first attempt at design.
http://www.pinheadlounge.com/portfolios/bbs_attempt2.jpg

3rd: Not your traditional pinstriping... but I do strange doodles like this all the time, and wanted to see what it would look like painted.
http://www.pinheadlounge.com/portfolios/bbs_attempt3a.jpg

4th: Fresh paint, just pulled this last night

http://www.pinheadlounge.com/portfolios/bbs_attempt4.jpg

I'll probably look back at these someday and cringe, but I know we all have to start somewhere. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You guys that do all that pinstripping amaze me. I can't even draw a straight ling with a marker, put a brush in my hand and you better want a wall painted! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I do my art work in steel. Here is my latest "desk Top Artwork." Hand formed all steel, measures about 7" long, 3" wide, and stands about 3" high. I think little stuff is much harder to do This one may be a HAMB auction. Gene

Bradberry your work ALWAYS blows me away. Wish I could afford to get you to do a doodle of my truck

[jford13]

Here are two panels out of four that I did. For some reason the other two not shown came out terrible in the pictures, all fuzzy, who knows. Anyway, here are the two, and the red on the black panel came out weird also???????

Great show as usually kats and kittens...steel pheonix you get better everytime you pull a line....

As for me still got a bit of a upper respiritory problem so I stayed clear of the paint and thiner again this week but as I can't stay away from the art show I thought I'd throw up a sketch I did waiting on an e-test to finish....what do you think Ray I know you like spiders.hee hee hee.....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v349/Jester2469/spider.jpg

[Steel Phoenix]

Thanks Jester!

You are going to paint up that sketch when you get a chance, aren't you? It would be too cool! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Holy Shiiiiiite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's freakin awesome.

Dude, I had to hear about this second hand!!!!!!Barnett told me. You freaking rule.

[Kojack]

Awesome work as usual... wow. Some great pinstriping work here. I've just got one more, a quick t-shirt design...

[safariknut]

I don't know exactly how to classify this piece:it is DEFINITELY art but not aoutomotive related unless you count the fact that I found it coming home from a car show! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I don't even know what it is or where it came from so I figured to post it on the art show in the hope that someone from somewhere in the world can identify it and/or tell me what it says on it.
The dimensions are approx.19" long by 12" wide(at the widest point).It is made of wood and covered with an incredible amount of inlaid veneers in various colors and grains(also some other material but I don't think plastic)in an extremely complex geometric design.At either end is an inlay with some letters(cyphers)in what could be either Arabic or Cyrillic.I don't think it's Hebrew but I could be wrong.It's hard to see but the border designs appear to be INDIVIDUAL pieces of TINY wood alternating in natural and black coloring approx.1/32nd by 1/4 inch!There are literally hundreds of them!
There is a signature on the back in ink but I cannot make out the name.
The reason I think it might be Cyrillic is the person I bought it from purchased it from a man I know only as Mikhail.I am going to ask him tomorrow but I thought I'd post a pic or two and see if anyone knew what it was or what it says.Whatever it is,it's an incredible piece of artwork and I only paid $9.56 for it!Don't ask about the price!

[safariknut]

WHOOPS! this is the center.

Awesome work man.. PM'ED YA

[RileyRacing]

That looks more Arabic than Cyrillic, Ray... I don't know for sure though.

I looked at all my Russian Guns, and they all had more "english" looking letters than that. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Either way, cool score!

And, the work is phenomenal. I need to start practicing... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Yeah I kind of thought that myself Jay.I have a Russian-English dictionary around in one of my book cases somewhere(I'm a voracious reader;I'm reading 3 books simultaneously now).I tried comparing the cyphers to some on a 17th century Persian jambiya I have but didn't see any real similarities.Hopefully Mike will be able to provide some background on it tomorrow.
To GV:That panel is WILD! I love the way you got the 4 suits to look like a face.
