[lockwoodkustoms]

Well I guess I will start it off this week. Here is something I am working on.

This is something I did tonight just after dinner. I call it "Hey Maud"

Here is a bike I picked up earlier this fall and did not know too much about. It is a bike that was originally built in the early 30's for Sam Schwartz of FAO Schwartz fame. It was designed by the DP Snyder company, built by the DP Harris company (Rollfast and Peerless badges). The original bike was rough. Cleaned it up best I could and added a set of Felt Quick Brick White Walls.

[GaryC.]

Smooth Sledding
You'll see lots of '49 Mercs, some Fords, and a few Chevys
but nothing makes a low-riding sled like a '49 Buick.
I think that Candy Purple and Lime Green are of
sufficient impact for this toothy custom!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

[Dutch Courage]

LockwoodKustoms - Nice!
GaryC - Bitchin'!

CONGRATULATIONS Janne!!! Great custom

[blackbaron]

Some drawings on this week and my friend´s bass. That isn´t ready yet. I will do some pinstriping on the other side.

[Mr Diablo]

Looks Good Mr Lockwood...

[Spoggie]

Janne- Kongrats on the R & C gig. That's a crafty piece to start with.
Here's a few day's worth of visual diarrohea courtesy your's truly. Top left is Australia's favourite gasser- the first Holden.
Don't forget to click on these thumbnails for a decent squizz..
Oh, and hey Joe- what a neat old push- bike- I keep going back to look at it- it's so trick, from the tyres to the head stem. Best thing for me is despite the details being so neat it's the overall beauty of the form which still shines through.

I've always dug the skid- kid ( bobber ) style- no bling, just a neat style you can ride. Cheap to run & get fit too..
Hello Gary- Purple & green go together well- as would we all as owners of '49 Buicks such as you have kindly herewith shown. Hesitate not good fellow to sail forth once again into the natural world of the insect- that green machine of a few weeks ago was groovy..

[Jeff Norwell]

Congrats Janne.....Killer...........

[ynottayblock]

Janne congrats, killer work as usual!

Ive been working on putting this sketch in colour but couldnt get it done for this weeks show so look for it next week

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=103&pictureid=6434

and something I posted up in the FAST group it is OT, but I figured what the hell I'll post it up here too. 12x24 acrylic on canvas

[Jeff Norwell]

I posted this on another site... bit I thought I would share........

I collect this stuff.... originals and original print material.
I look at this type of work and it makes me sad,... sad for the fact that most or nearly all of the artistic mastery has been long lost.
There was an actual time when this type of visual would gather crowds and garner true excitement in the Auto industry.
Maybe if the big three would get there heads out of there asses.... they could see.
I highly doubt that and I think corporate gluttony and union obesity have killed that.

At any rate...... look at the elegance of how the public was shown a new upcoming vehicle.I belong to a blog where I receive important Illustration art from days gone by.
About 10 years ago I had the true extreme chance to work down the hall from to gentlemen who were giants in this field.It was a chance of a lifetime.No school could have given me what I learned from these 2 gentleman.There names were Will Davies and Tom McNeeley.

More on them later...

Imagine looking at illustrated images today..... say like a Sanford in a Ford,Chev or Mopar brochure...... instead of that glossed over dead crap they are still trying to hawk........
They might ACTUALLY garner some interest....... I know,I know..... there problems run way deeper than fine crafted imagery.... BUT........

[Still Runnin]

I love the vintage illustrations.

[robschwager]

Great stuff, thanks for sharing jeff. We have a bunch of original old auto ads that used to hang on our walls. I love the golden age of illustration. That was REAL craftsmanship.

Here's mine for the week. Not new art, just a new application of my art... on pillowcases.

Company called Hell's Blankets (http://www.hellsblankets.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=256) out of Australia licensed the design from me.

.

[Dutch Courage]

Great stuff Jeff - First car manufacturer that would hark back to that style of advertising now would surely draw a lot of attention...

Janne - Very well done; congratulations!

Rikster - Nice job on the kolorizing of some of the Fremont drag strip photographs in Coby's Church Magazine issue #5!

Rob - I would sleep on that!

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Great show today, you guys! So much illustration talent here.

Jeff, about your comments on automotive illustration of yesteryear: So true, so true...

Very nice Carnutz... sketch makes more sense now with the paint cans added in the final rendering ;)

[MindsEye]

Great work so far by everyone. Jeff, thanks for posting all of those, true masters of illustration. Janne, congrats on the R&C coverage!
Here's my first post. The work is older because I realized my more recent work isn't HAMB friendly.

[JEPPA]

Congratulations Janne. I can't wait to pick up that issue.


That is a great piece Phred! Very animated.


Jeff, I've got some old architectural illustrations in that very flavour. I would also like to see more done today.

[PurplePearl50]

I was pretty busy this week getting the garage ready for winter but I had some time to do this. I bought Painter 10 about a month ago and got my tablet last weekend.

Its O/T but what the hell...

My Grandpa was in WWII in Japan and the Philippines from 1944-1946.He was with MacArthur's 41st Butchers. I have about 50 pictures from when he was in training camp to the atomic bomb going off.

I took two pictures and used Painter and water colored them to make my Grandpa in color and left evry thing else in black and white.

[PACHECO]

Great Show so far from everybody -Gabe

[jonnyrocknroll]

Cool stuff.
Been busy with other stuff this week, but here is one I posted in another thread elsewhere a while back, so some of you may have already seen it.

[ToddJ]

Hey Everybody! Wicked start to the show this week. Must've been all the turkey we devoured yesterday.

Gary C- That Buick is bitchin' man!
Dutch- Love both pics! Your stuff is mind boggling!
Janne- Congrats again on your R&C feature my friend. Excellent work!
A32flathead- Beautiful shots as always man. I'll get to that Merc yet, I promise!
Lockwood- Lookin good man. Way to add in those darker shades.
Blackbaron, Yblock, Britt8m, mindseye, all very cool

JEFF! Thanks for posting all of those beautiful ads. I have been a fan of those types of illustrations all of my life. It is truly sad that we will likely never see such amazing automotive advertising ever again. (love the 62 Impala ads). My mother in law's dad owned a small Chevy dealership and all the dealer ads, promo models, signage and such were all auctioned off and the old building torn down. Damned shame- of course this all happened years before I met my wife.

Anyways, here's a few from me. Hoping you all dig 'em.

Phred---have you ever worked for Pixar????????
You should!

[safari-wagon]

Nice adverts Jeff! You reminded me that I had these in my files, waiting to get re-framed.

In the old days, GM Photographic used to post this kind of stuff all around the Tech Ctr to showcase Eng achievements over the years. They did a lot these for Styliing & Marketing too. Sadly, I think most got binned over the years.

I got 4 of these as they were demo'ing part of the Tech Ctr to build the new tower some years back. A guy was taking them to the dumpster, when I rescued them & hung them in my cube.

Ger- THX for the poster, it came yesterday.

[pitpull]

cool stuff everybody, especially Phred, Toddj and Janne

[Jeff Norwell]

Yea,,,, the real crime was when all of that stuff went to a landfill site in the early 80's..... Guarded no less!!:(

seem warmer. I think it's the 'dad' connection.
Everyone, your stuff is great, thanks for sharing it.
Happy Thanksgiving

I posted this on F.A.S.T. and was told to post it here. It falls in the category of 10
minute sketches tho it took 12-15...and was produced on my Cintiq in Photoshop.

So a guy turns to the owned and says," What's that thing stuffed with? Looks good."

Another guy says,"'Suppose that things got a 'wish-bone' suspension, huh?"

Wow, Jeff, those guys were an inspiration to many of us I'm sure, my first car was the 4 door Vauxhall Victor, a 1/2 scale 57 chevy, now that bought back some memories.

Del, those drawings are first class, you can pick the people with the real talent by their sketch work, pencil lines cover no sleight of hand.

Blackie, that's one nice illustration.

[carnutz]

GOOSEBUMPS!!! (and the decorations are nice also!) :eek:

[Factory 1969]

Great show everybody - I love the diversity of everyone's work on this thread.

Dutch Courage - great CAR-toons - amazing drawing
Janne - congratulations on the R&C spread - nice illustrations
ynottayblock - great sketch - I'm looking forward to seeing the color version
Norwell - thanks for posting the car ads - it's great to see that stuff
ToddJ - great style on those illustrations
Blackie - wow - I love that car. Amazing job!
delswanson - those sketches are fantastic - what a talent

Here are a couple recent t-shirt designs for our Torque Brothers Speed Shop line.

Cheers everyone - have a great weekend.

[Stone]

Nice works guys.

[pwschuh]

Del- you have GOT to colors those out. They're incredible.

Jen - Love those ornaments. I'd buy one.

The old car ads, especially the ones from GM, are also a particular favorite of mine. Boulevard Photographic by Jim Williams is a great book on the inside story of the switch from drawing to photos in the US automotive ad biz. Cruise O Matic by Yasutoshi Ikuta is a great collection of 50's auto ad art. Ads That Put America On Wheels by Dregni and Miller covers a bunch of years, both drawing and photo. Still looking for a book that really covers all of the sixties in depth, particularly the drawings.

Another great show everyone.

[Jigger]

Wow, guess mines a real turkey. No comments.

Here's last years. Wish I had something new to post...

Still looking for a book that really covers all of the sixties in depth, particularly the drawings.

Another great show everyone.

thank you :) there for sale lol

Coffee Break Drawing
'32 Chevy in Bic & Photoshop

[ToddJ]

Great work so far!

Lockwood: great show car in action - I dig the sketchy nature, and 'Maud' is too damn funny, haha!
GaryC - awesome sled
Dutch - sweet Chopper's 'Toons
Janne - I was thrilled to see your work in R&C! About time...
Phred - cool excercise.
A32 - killer photos, the red in the Ford Panel is DEEP!
Norwell - nice collection thanks for sharing. Some of those have a Hugh Ferris influence, yes?
PitPull - that's just killer...
Van Horton - nice road scene!
I know I missed some but it's all BITCHIN!

All I have is an oldie - partial from an R&C spread.

[ToddJ]

Del! I love each and every one of those line drawings man. Now or old, those are great man. I'd love to see those all done up in color! The Club de Mer is so cool! Hell, they are all cool!

No way jigger, it's way cool, I sent it to my kids, and sent this one last year.

[ToddJ]

Jigger, Both of your Turkey day pieces are great. My whole family got a kick out of this years drawing (father in law is a big turkey hunter!!!!) Excellent detail on last year's post too. I love the roadster, but the scared shitless expression on that old tom's face is priceless!

[Janne]

Thanks for everyone for the kind words!

Gary C, I gotta say, LOVE that 32 Chebby! I love how you mix the Bic pens and the photoshop. Two killer posts this week!

Dutch and Coupe de Cab!!! Thanks for the kind words! Coming from artists of your caliber, that means a lot. I look to haveprints available as soon as my site is up and running!

[eye bone]

This painting I received from eye bone in exchange for some work I did for him. I think he may have posted this awhile back but, oh well.This is my families first original painting and it is really COOL! I have some of his cups,too. The man is a true artist! Thanks eye bone!

Hey Thanks bustedlifter!
I'm glad it's found a good home… you're good people!

Enjoy!

Again another good show folks!

Stay Cool!

[Danimal]

My very firstest Photoshop. Thanks to Zumo for doing a '53 for Dan a while back. I borrowed the quarter panel and the tires from two of them he did. I'm going to have to work to get better but I'm fairly happy with this one. Chopped, sectioned, lowered, pancaked, and treated to 54 Lee lenses and 54 headlight rings and fender line.

http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z198/Danimal_9395/Courts%2054%20Chevy%20Truck/5431002-1.gif

My second one. Court wants his truck to be a green and stock fender openings. Still sitting at 'stock' height from the picture I found on the web. Wheels and tires to change and ride height to drop.

I posted this on another site... bit I thought I would share........

I collect this stuff.... originals and original print material.
I look at this type of work and it makes me sad,... sad for the fact that most or nearly all of the artistic mastery has been long lost.
There was an actual time when this type of visual would gather crowds and garner true excitement in the Auto industry.
Maybe if the big three would get there heads out of there asses.... they could see.
I highly doubt that and I think corporate gluttony and union obesity have killed that.

At any rate...... look at the elegance of how the public was shown a new upcoming vehicle.I belong to a blog where I receive important Illustration art from days gone by.
About 10 years ago I had the true extreme chance to work down the hall from to gentlemen who were giants in this field.It was a chance of a lifetime.No school could have given me what I learned from these 2 gentleman.There names were Will Davies and Tom McNeeley.

More on them later...

Imagine looking at illustrated images today..... say like a Sanford in a Ford,Chev or Mopar brochure...... instead of that glossed over dead crap they are still trying to hawk........
They might ACTUALLY garner some interest....... I know,I know..... there problems run way deeper than fine crafted imagery.... BUT........

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q7/JEFFNORWELL/A2.jpgG'day Jeff,
Bittersweet post. I don't even know what a new car brochure must look like. I guess I get enough through the press releases in the dailies.
You've posted some choice stuff here- the '62 G.P. & others similair are Fitzpatrick & Van Kaufman pieces. One of 'em did the backgrounds- the other did the car. Tag team !
I bet i can find plenty of detractors but I like a lot of modern car exterior design. It's pushin' out in various directions.Generally of the rest of the modern car I couldn't care less- too complex !

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q7/JEFFNORWELL/9-4.jpg

I'm wit'cha here, Jeff. I have a friend, Mike DiFazio, who used to do those for Chrysler. But I think that was back when illustrators weren't considered artists.

Like N.C. Wyeth and his contemporaries, the hoity-toity asswipes of the "so-called" art world spoke of all these fabulously talented people as though they were tainted, or just weren't 'good enough' to be called artists. They were "just" illustrators.

I had many of these brochures when they were new. I remember well and with great fondness, when the new cars had their debuts each September. There was great secrecy at the showrooms, with paper all over the windows so you couldn't see the new cars before their unveiling. It was an event much like a holiday season, with searchlights ablaze in the night skies lauding the arrivals!

Hell, each Fall, all through the '50s and much of the '60s, people used to get dressed up in their Sunday Best and take their families to the dealerships to see the new glitzy offerings. It was an amazing time. And these great renderings are all we have left to show for it.

It's way long overdue that these immensely gifted people get the recognition they're due. I'm proud of the fact that you've taken the initiative here, as well as other sites. It has to start somewhere. Good on ya!

Bill
