[paulatxntric]

I may have put this on a few weeks ago but what ever!!

[Janne]

I may have put this on a few weeks ago but what ever!!

Looks great!:)

What media? watercolor? colored pencils?

[hillbillydeluxe]

You guys know how to read a clock?

[paulatxntric]

I work mainly in pastels (on paper anyway!!) . The first one is the Spalding bros 25 T (it ran a stovebolt 6) in Pheonix in 1950, the 2nd is Ed Iskenderan in his T (that's a 25 as well I think). May also have some prints done if the feedback is positive enough...

it's almost Friday in the UK

[hillbillydeluxe]

It's not quite 5PM here, add 6 and I still get 11PM on the late side. Which Timezone are you in?

[Janne]

It´s 18 minutes till midnight here in Finland.

[hillbillydeluxe]

I better reset my watches, then. Let it be said, I is wrong. But then again, it'll probably happen again, too. Sorry fellas.

[paulatxntric]

we're on GMT so it's a couple of hours to friday.....but what do ya think to my pics?
anyway Janne says it's even closer in Finland.

[Janne]

hillbillydeluxe: I saw your site first time, amazing stuff!

Done by computer with Vacoom? Or? I would be very pleased to see more!

You guys know how to read a clock?

Hell I do, its almost lunchtime Friday, what took you guys so long.......

Nice work Janne

[cleatus]

'41 Lincoln Zephyr

I'm thinking that has to be your best one yet (of what I've seen anyway) and that's saying alot, 'cause you sir are the master!

p.s. who cares what time it is - the Friday Art Show should be all week long.

[G V Gordon]

Been trying my hand at lettering. Gettin' better but got a long way to go. Beautiful work Janne and paulatxntric.

[wlspdshop]

Nice work. I love early Friday Art shows.:)

[hillbillydeluxe]

Man, my head is spinning now that I have a guy eating a sandwich in New Zealand, and some folks in the UK with their bedcaps on. Ha ha. I guess that makes it O'Beer thirty here in the MidWest.

Janne, I like the car. the indication on the background makes it look like it's near trees. Not sure about the car leaning back. I like that style car more level, but that's me. I like the rest of the drawing quite a bit. Very Nice. It has some similarity to the Mantranga Merc.

Thanks also for the compliment on the website. I do have about four other pages to post. It's been a steep learning curve getting all of the images organized and online. Most of them are pen sketches, but the main image for the Art page was just published in the April Rod and Custom, page 12. Check it out, it's my friend's dad's car. The image was all done in Photoshop.

[paulatxntric]

HBD
cool site!

[tikEK]

You guys know how to read a clock? It's 9.30am, Friday here bozo... you aint the centre of the universe you know:D

[hillbillydeluxe]

Here's a pic of the Mantranga Merc. Nice side shot for reference

Thanks all from your compliments and comments, negative feedback is welcomed too with good arguments.

I also noticed that my sketch of the '41 should be little bit lower from front.

[Fast Elvis]

Sweet!! :)

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Hmmm, Thursday nights in Cary, IL. mean "Friday Art Show"!!!!!:D :eek:

Here's a little 1Shot action! 2ftx4ft metal shelf painted black basecoat/clear coat. It's a 'lil "not so secret" tribute panel to some local Detroit toughs.

The pic quality sucks a little but you guys get the idea.:D

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c152/peterpanstriper2/Deadbeats.jpg

Next is a scrap piece of 1/2 inch tinted lexan. It's 3 ft long. Just a little excercise to keep the chops up.

[dart165]

danm, friday comes extra early round here!


soooo... i know this isnt "car/hotrod related" butttttt i figure given the context of lowbrow art, plus the fact that i'm geeked to have just finished this, i think its alright to post it in here...

i just finished this this little guy, he stands about 6" tall and he's got a white led wired into his head(and a switch hidden under his foot) so his mouth/eyes can glow at night. enjoy!:D

it started life as a blank vinyl monkey.

by the way, some really nice stuff in here.

[hillbillydeluxe]

Digging around the steam-driven computer, I found a bunch of stuff. I must have been in a an analog-type mood this week. Here goes:

[hillbillydeluxe]

Completely my oversight. That last group had a leftover sandwich of a sketch. It just got added by mistake. Oops. Here are a few more random images. It's frickin FREEZING in here Mr. Bigglesworth.

[McKee]

I did this yesterday.

http://www.users.bigpond.com/designjp/donwaite27.jpg
Excellent....How did you do this?

[Doc.]

Is my shit worth gettin prints....

No sir, those are not fit to print. You just need to sell me the originals and be done with it.

:D

Doc.

[zealot9802]

Hey Dart165!!!! That kicks ass. Is that one off, or do you do an assembly line of those. If so I'm interested

[1- shot slinger]

Awesome work guys....Gordon I love that Triumph panel! Here is a sketch I did in class monday....nothin that great....

http://www.users.bigpond.com/designjp/sketchdw27.jpg
I drew the outlines in felt-tip pen then I scanned the drawing and used the scan as a template for drawing the vectors in Illustrator. This was an experiment to try something different to what I do normally (below).

I think they are damn good, very nastallgic looking. I would even say that it would look great on a T-shirt. we're on GMT so it's a couple of hours to friday.....but what do ya think to my pics?
anyway Janne says it's even closer in Finland.

[Hard Luck]

Here's a couple of panels I recently did. I did both of these for people that wanted them for Christmas gifts.

I am working on another, with a little dancing tiki dude, but I left it at the shop this afternoon when I left, so I didn't get to finish it up tonight.

The last two pictures are of my dad's '47 Hudson pickup. He's a crazy old hippie, and wanted the wizard with "Magic Bus" on the tailgate. Magic pertaining to the wizard, and Bus pertaining to the school bus yellow color of the truck. LOL, damn crazy old hippie's !! :D

EDIT: I don't know why, but the color of the wizard doesn't come out near as well in the pictures as it does in person. It may be the program I used to donwsize the pictures....:confused: Ah well, you get the point. ;)

[PEDDRO]

I'll see if I can get this to work....

My first "monster" drawing....albeit my cat in my T! Gotta learn how to use Illustrator better.

[shadowmtkustomz]

Wow. Friday is here already, well, almost. The art posts have got to be some of my favorite threads. Here's just a few photoshops I did to pass the time. I'm still a little rusty, but their somethin' to look at:

A 1950 chevy. Was a family friends, who, comin back from town a little buzzed back in the late fifties, rolled it a couple times.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y150/shadowmtkustomz/Photoshop/1.jpg (http://photobucket.com/albums/y150/shadowmtkustomz/Photoshop/?)

And photoshopped to bring it back to life, sort of:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y150/shadowmtkustomz/Photoshop/2.jpg (http://photobucket.com/albums/y150/shadowmtkustomz/Photoshop/?)

This here is my great-great gandma's International ranch truck:

And as my shop truck someday?:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y150/shadowmtkustomz/Photoshop/9993.jpg (http://photobucket.com/albums/y150/shadowmtkustomz/Photoshop/?)

Okay, almost done, just a couple more:

No live motorcycles were harmed in this consruction. Gregg What is the optimal pixal size to use for uploading? As far as pic resizing goes?

[BLAKE]

Here's a tank I painted last weekend - not yet cleared/polished in this pic, but you get the idea. Posted on the Jockey Journal for grins and sold it 10 mins later (not my intention)... looks like it'll be run on a cool little chopper!

[a!rbrush]

The photoshopping work is killer guys!!

[Conder]

An artist on the Jockey Journal named "MCOTIE" took my rough sketch of S.O.G. and painted it in photoshop. I can't stop looking at it....if you've been to my ATF site http://www.armageddontopfuel.com you know that one of the main goals is to collaborate with other artists, and this time it went GREAT. Thanks again Mitch! - http://www.condercustom.com

[BigBlockMopar]

MCOTIE seems to know his stuff allright. That's freaking good what he did.

[paulatxntric]

Air brushing is so difficult when you have an audience!!!
as with most things ever tried fixing your rod in the street in the middle of town......you always miss the obvious and end up looking like a jerk!!

Anyway belly pan for a BMW with a Union Jack on....the pics are not
complementary!! I did what the guy wanted and it looked like a few lines and block colours so I re did it to (try) to look like 2 bits of cloth (red and blue) flapping on a white background.....well he liked it!!
I really must do more coz I like the effects you can get and want a go at monstershirts..

[punkrodder tm]

Hi

Here is result of my photoshop play.

A little Hot Rod pickemup I did this week.

[Bumpstick]

I've always wanted to learn 3d. So I downloaded a free copy of Maya from their website this week (hence the watermark) and have been trying to figure it out. I figured if I start with a car it would make it easier. Rudimentary T-bucket. Anyone have a Full version of this software for the mac? Hell, I don't have 2 grand to spend on real cars!:eek: -stick
P.S. This has been one of the best art post ever!

Hey Bumpstick...

Keep your eyes peeled for a Program called Bryce. It's only a couple hundred bucks (which is alot - but is much cheaper than the 2 to 4 thousand you'll spend on Maya or 3D Studio Max).

It is easy to play with and if you network (make some internet buddies) you can get a lot of free models to tweek on.

I have AutoCAD at home - so I make all my models in there and export them as a .3ds file to Bryce5 and render them in there.

That's how I get images like this....(it was my first ever attempt at rendering - years before I got my CAD degree - just playing with shapes and texture/light).

[Carshowlvr]

Just a drawing, excuse the glare. Scanner down, had to use camera. Drawing of my dog when I was a kid. I just wish I could draw Monster drawings like you doods. :(

[MikeO]

I know Im late but I couldnt get pics to load yesterday. This is some of waht Ive been working on , Ive also got 8 panels Im working on but they wont be done till next week

[Muttley]

A little Hot Rod pickemup I did this week.

Way cool. When are you coming down this way?

[eye bone]

Nothin that great he says… Man!
Looks Good to Me!!!
