Weekend Art Debacle!!!

[BARNETT]

It's 3a.m., Texas time...and no art show thread yet?! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here's a metal panel I did the other day. It's actually kind of a fade of 2 shades of red, but it's hard to tell in the pic.

[BARNETT]

I'm currently doing (on a trunk lid!) a revised version of this piece that was in the Frenchy's Art Show, last weekend...

[Skate Fink]

.........I hope everything is OK down under?? Awful quite out there........ Dan......you 'da MAN!!

[Psychoarts]

Your stuff is sweet Barnett. Here are a couple of things I practiced on this week. Two random plastic jugs. Weird shapes are fun to stripe

[The Harpoon]

here is, well, a tank I have been working on now and then since last year.

[The Harpoon]

and the start of Chopperdaves monumental new paintjob-next week you will see the finish. Gary, your sheetmetal is finally on the way, as I type.

[The Harpoon]

one more, just for Dan

[whodaky]

Everything is OK here in Australia. Been a long week for me though and have been having comp problems. Have done a bit of new stuff this week. But haven't got a real lot of time at the moment so I will only post one image for now. Maybe more later in the week end! Geoff aka Whodaky http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/whodaky/FA149.jpg

BEAUTIFUL STUFF FELLAS! I should be out in the garage but it's been so long since I jumped in at the art show....this is a tank I did a "cover up" on....you can see the before and after. Bass did a sweet piece on the back fender and I didn't take a pic like an idiot! It's all about me, y'know? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

let's see more!

[Fat Hack]

I call this rendering "Ode To DirtyT"...oh wait, that sounds more like a POEM...

Aw, shit! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice stuff. Barnett, you're an art god. Here's a sporty tanka nd fender from last week. Gloss black, white and silver leaf on flat black.

[Daddy-O]

Here's my pocket fatty with a custom paint job from the Mirage rattle cans. The flip flop is really something and came out great for $20. Striped the tank and fenders in gold and purple.

I was waiting until Saturday, since I didn't want to be seen to be jumpin the gun.

One of our club members knocked this thing up. It's a stand for our hot dog boiler. Gas bottle sits at bottom, burner insside the box and the pot of water on top of the burner.

I figured it looked pretty ordinary just painted red, so took it home and added some lines. Kind of a rush job, but was good practice.

[Carps]

The other side......

[Jester]

Carps that thing looks kind of like a conjourers table. It would look good in my magic act. Damn fine work everyone.

1shot and a brush, and numerous fuckups on the lettering, cuz man, i suck at lettering.

GREAT work Rob!!!

[luketrash]

Since I ain't got a talented bone in my body as far as hand created art goes, I took some pics of the wheels out in the city cemetary.. Why? I was looking for some park to take pics of the leaves, but there are kids and stuff at parks, and I didn't want some dad opening up on me thinking I was some sort of perv... Plus, I didn't want any pics of modern cars in the shots, and you can't exactly drive right ONTO the park to get a decent shot around here.

http://www.whiteboard.net/~luke/54autumn/1.jpg


As for my 'art' shot:

3D photo of my car (http://www.whiteboard.net/~luke/54autumn/car_cemetary.jpg)


You gotta stare at the image crosseyed and make a 3rd image converge between the two. The middle image will be in 3D.

I take a lot of shots like this, because I can see them easily. Most people can't see them worth a damn though. Think 'ViewMaster' though.. I think it's kinda cool.

[Carps]

Hey Caffeine, if you think your lettering sucks, then I gotta figure mine swallows! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif 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

Picked up this multi drawer tool box to help me tidy up all my model car tools and stuff. Did the flames using cheap pressure packs. Next time I'll crank up the air brushes etc and do it properly.

[Carps]

Just when I though I was doin OK Draglink posts another of his awesome toolboxes. Damn!

Here's the back of mine anyhow.

Those resin shifter knobs look like fun to make so I thought I'd take a stab at sculpting one. It's kind of crude since I've never done this before but I'm happy with it. I tried to make a 3-D version of the Honest Charley cartoon face. My wife thinks it looks like Rodney Dangerfield and it sorta does! This is the master and I don't know if I can cast from it or not but I'll try....
Honest Charley first.

[cougardan]

[KCsledz]

Here are a few things that I have been working on.

A little bit of lettering on a form holder for my business.





A toy microscope holder from the 50's.



A new box for all of my pinstriping brushs and stabillo pencils. I am still working on the IGNITE design on the side of the box.

Thanks everyone, for the nice words! Looks like ya'll have been BUSY...lots of cool stuff! Harpoon, that blue/black combo is cooool. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Why does 'flake make me so happy? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Where's Ray and Ian and Joel and K-Member and Baron Von Gasser? Damn, there's alot of talent here. Guess I better go get busy. mmmmmm, iced coffee...

[lostparts]

cool, for any one how wants to know. i laid down a coat of rus http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.giftolem plastic paint to give my creatix air brush paint something to stick to. then cleared with a satin krylon to give the look of plastic and seal it from skeratching off.then laid down the stipping. FOR ANY ONE WHO HAS NOT STRIPPED PLASTIC....... stipping plastic is a major pain in the ****... the electric static pulls and pushs at the brush hairs. my suggestion if to pee on your feet, this way you are grounded. there is allot off stipping on the hamb, so i whipped this up to chang things up. i think its way cool, or maybe its just my morning cocktail. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[rich^vic]

Got a whole 2 switchplates done this week (what a crazy month this has been)

Lostparts, I dig the drawing!...you might wanna blur the nipples, though. I'm not sure if the "no nipples" rule applies only to real ones or drawings, as well. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Personally, when it comes to cartoons, I'm a fan of "gumdrop nips". http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[KCsledz]

Here are a few shots of my portfolio that I am reworking on the inside. I rescreened the outside to say what I wanted it to. I also screened the inside panels because they were white and needed something. The inside was gutted and custom fir with new sectioning in red. I kept some of the old bottles that contained the harmless chemicals and got rid of the acids and the radioactive particle. Yes I said radioactive! You could play with that kind of stuff in the 50's and it wouldn't hurt ya! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif Anyway I am reworking sone of the inserts that will go inside of the pockets so I can use this for a work portfolio instead of my graduating portfolio. Hope ya all like it.

This is my payment for striping Slags sqishtail. He sculpted this can opener out of 5/16 bar stock because Iguess he got tired of me using his 30 dollar screw drivers http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I hope the stamping of my HAMB title shows up. It took him 7 min to make.I think were gonna be rich. Next week Ill post the lightning and the Hummer I did over the last two days.

If I ever get the straight 8 in my buick running, I don't want stupid folks to think it's a chevy six, so I broke out the one-shot and painted a sign on some old masonite I had in the garage.

[tredboy]

lostparts' posts and coop-esque drawing motivated me to post this. i got bored one day and started painting this piece, it measures almost six feet tall by four feet wide, had to make the frame and stretch the canvas myself. used bisquit joints in the corners and all. it now resides in my living room.
i know, i know, it's not an original piece, but man it's such a cool image!

don't like it?
too bad!


me.

[BARNETT]

Here's something kinda fun....I guy sent me this diecast and wanted it striped with a tiki face on the roof and some sort tiki influenced name on the trunk, with striping anywhere else I wanted to stripe. Pretty challenging job, but I think it came out alright. Ignore the dubs. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[cougardan]

Since this is the "Weekend Debacle" and not the Friday art show, I wanted to add one more shifter knob master I whipped out. The sketch shows the idea and I will probably cast two versions, one with the lettering and one without.
It fits my hand real well. The lighting makes it look yellow but it's really off white.

[G V Gordon]

Did this last night, not finished but it is the first attempt to outline with a striping brush. The tight curves were a bit tricky but it was easier than I thaought it was gonna be. This blank came out of the discard bin at my local plastics house. I needed a design to cover the scratches. Not sure what I am going to put in the center.

[cougardan]

I need to spend more time in the garage. Here's the last one for now- based on one of those T-shirt designs out of a 1962 Pop. Hot rodding.

[cougardan]

Thanks Johnny, I had forgotten about Weird-Oh's, maybe they were from the same artist. Here's a scan of the drawing I got the idea from. As far as the medium, it's Sculpey straight from the box I got at Hobby Lobby. I've never done this stuff before so as far as technique goes- any smoothing (like to get rid of fingerprints) has been done rolling a toothpick across the surface.... This last one, I rolled up a ball of aluminum foil as a core so the clay wouldn't be so thick. I think it baked better. That's kind of like Tech! As close as I'll get this time anyways.
Dan

[Johnny Ace]

CougarDan.....here are a couple of things you might want to try if interested...btw, al.foil is a good old tried & true method for keeping a piece light and still building up a core mass without adding top heavy weight...also,that Sculpey ain't cheap!
If you are using the white sculpey, instead try Super Sculpey( the flesh colored stuff)....avoid Sculpey III as it will be too brittle for reworking or lasting strength....I have great luck with Super Sculpey and Premo.
The Premo will add color to the otherwise translucent features of the Super Sculpey, making it easier for you to see fingerprints and will allow light to hit your details better, making it easier for you to gauge proportions.
I blend 1 lb of SS to 2oz of Premo.....
I use Turpenoid for smoothing out all fingerprints and uneven textures....keep several acrylic brushes around just for this, this will refine a sculpt greatly and cut down on sanding time later....alcohol and brush works well too...
Turpenoid will also melt sculpey and makes a great flux that will adjoin the clay to itself better for strength and bond the clay to metal armatures and cores....
Hope this is of interest to you, I really enjoy your work...

I'm sure if you looked around Ed himself drew ol' Finkie with a board waaaay back.

[Johnny Ace]

James...that's not my point.
The art in question was lifted from work made by me and paid for by SkateFink....very generously,I might add.....
So you have two board members who worked together on this and here comes a STRANGER who seems all too happy to SHOW IT OFF on here.
As far as "tribute", who knows? I've never spoken to this guy, have you Pat?
I'm aware of Ed's body of work. I have to be.
Maybe I should be flattered by the rip-off artist who I just found out is selling switch plate covers with our art on them on ebay?

is this the one??

every time I do anything roth I usually put his name somehwere to mine, i do it mainly out of respect.

[Johnny Ace]

The one I found out about is a direct scan of our Rat Fink in Dragula poster artwork.....the guy took the image, got rid of our names and copyright, and dropped in the word DRAGULA....
I did have permission from Brett to make a limited run utilizing the car in the design.

[caffeine]

ok taking your name out is just plain ignorant....

Johnny,

As far as "tribute", who knows? I've never spoken to this guy, have you Pat?

.....naw, but if he's doing it for his own use, it doesn't bother me. You would think he would give the original artist props though.
The scumbag on eGay??? Now that's another story all together. He needs to be hung by his balls!!!! I will contact eGay as soon as I get home and every artist on the HAMB should do the same!!!! Enough bitching may just shut the bastard down.........

So you have two board members who worked together on this and here comes a STRANGER who seems all too happy to SHOW IT OFF on here.

If you haven't talked to Neo, you don't know what his intentions for the board are. If the board is for his own use, I don't think it's that big of a deal...maybe not the most creative approach to something, though.

This guy sucks. There's no 2 ways about it...he's just out right stealing from you guys. Have you contacted him about discontinuing his image theft?

[james]

Yeah, sorry. I agree on his own use, I've seen lots of pinstripe designs on here that I love and might even copy on my car, (just learning to stripe) but selling on ebay or taking credit is different. Believe me, I know what it's like. I did a large mural in a restaurant and later my parents went and kinda asked about it (the manager had some cards and said he'd hand them out) the damn waiter told my parents he did it and even handed them his own bussiness card!! I guess he had bid on it, too and figured since he didn't get the job at least maybe he could get some follow up work.

[Johnny Ace]

Okay, now that I've had my hydro & coffee, I can see that MAYBE I'm really angry at the egay situation,not the RF board deal....
I support board artists, and so I now send healing vibes and hippy shit to you Neo....

My bad. Original Rat Fink board design by Johnny Ace and Skate Fink.
Idea to do skate board came from this pic. Painter unknown.

[Brootal]

Here's a couple of pics I took of that very board at Greazefest...

[Brootal]

Detail..

Hi Neo Dutch...

[Johnny Ace]

Too funny,Neo....that art is from - irony of ironies- SkateFink himself after my rendering, of his concept....

[rich^vic]

hmm and that logo has to go.. that's just too over the top.. love the art, but originality really helps..

-Richard

[Johnny Ace]

Oh yeah, Neo...you can DONATE my royalties from that sell to the HAMB......I'm starting a donation to buy RYAN an embroidered Mexican blanket.....and Barnett some genuine huarache-beatnik sandals from Matamoros to paint in.....

[Neo Dutch]

I'm cool with that. The cheques is in the mail.

.........another "As The HAMB Turns" story.....:

Once upon a time, a fat, balding 53 year old Skate Rat wants to try to recapture his fleeting youth. He thinks????What can I do? To fat for an affair....too poor for a Corvette to have an affair....too lazy to beg for an affair....EUREKA!!! I'll get a tattoo!! Now, he has been into skateboards since their inception. He has been into Rat Fink since HIS inception. He has been fortunate to get connected to THE Johnny Ace (otherwise known as the "Manic Hispanic") who worked his ass of at Roth Studios for 20 years. Johnny knows Finky personally. Who better to bring "Skate Fink" to life than Johnny?? A few e-mails and a couple bucks exchange hands and VOILA!! Not only the flash to do the tat, but an awesome color rendering to hang on the wall.
Well............flash art in hand, the fat Skate Rat heads to Mouse & Poncho's Peircing and Tattoos and talks Nate into slapping the art onto his arm. http://www.weirdtrip.com/DuBois/sk8rat.JPG
"SKATE FINK" comes to life!! Now that old, fat, balding Skate Rat has an alter-ego of his very own!! "Skate Fink!" Everywhere he goes, people stop him and want to talk about his new tat. Girls, guys (a few of them maybe gay, but who cares??), one young guy in a Chinese buffet tried to peel the rat off!
So from the humble collaboration of a couple burn-outs...one from MD and one from TX....the shot heard around the world. "Skate Fink" (desperately in need of a creative outlet) decided to see if he could paint his rendition of the design. About as soon as the paint dried, he posted a shot on the HAMB and then mailed it off to famous artist/tattoo artist/ hot rod builder from Deleware....DE George in an art exchange. George sent "Skate Fink" an awesome flaked, pinstriped, personalized skateboard that is a treasured addition to the "Pat Maphis Collection" TM JohnnyAceStudios 2004
While all of this was happening, who would have thought that half way around the world (and even in a different hemisphere!!) Neo Dutch would see said art and be so moved as to try his own rendition of this magical piece.
I sit here writing this with tears in my eyes. Who would have ever thought that the lagging ego of a old, fat, balding, burned out ex-skate rat could start such a world wide movement?
God Bless the HAMB!!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif (and thanks again Johnny!)

It took the HAMB for you to figure that out??!?!??

Man... you DID need help! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Nice tat by the way. Dig the cutouts on the board for the wheels. So what kind of wheels are on that bad boy? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

.........here's the actual board. Pinstriped by "Unkl Ian," Joe Sulpy Sr. & Jr., Alan Johnson and a couple other guys at a panel jam at Sulpy's. The wheels are "Krypto-Hawaii" that I picked up at Town & Country surf shop in Honalulu. Without going out and checking, I think they are 70mm. The board is a limited production piece called a "60's Skate" Right around 48" The trucks are called "Megatron" They were an east coast rip-off of Trackers. The people putting them out gave me a pair to "test" just before they went into production. They turned out to be quite nice actually.....that was around 1976.
