The It's got be to Friday somewhere Art Post

[cougardan]

Added another knob design to the collection. Name's Junior. I got the idea for him out of some old car magazines. Think he advertised one of those old trade schools for mechanics.

I made his cap separate so you could fit it either way.

Neat stuff this week.

I posted this on Sunday night last week, but I am betting not many saw it after that.

Done as a door prize for a show in September.

Great stuff, as usual, yall!

This is my first Friday Art post, so take it easy on me.

First one is a 100% digital painting (no scans, no digital photos) I did for my dad for Father's Day. If you have the latest Rodder's Digest, you can see an earlier version of the same file. I printed it out on Arches 90# cold press watercolor paper using my large inkjet printer. Can you tell I struggle with wheels in perspective?



Next one is my 4-year-old son's version of the same.

[Wet Paint]

Like I always say...."Its never finished until its striped".....I striped this for a good friend of mine. See it soon at Goodguys in Des Moines!!!

I got lucky last Sunday at HRR and by accident found out that HAMBer 'Brandon' stripes and letters....

Here's what he did to my bike

[cougardan]

Got a painted "Buddy Holapeno" finished this afternoon. More Duplicolor bombs.

heres some stuff from me for this week

#1 is the design i started sketching out for a t-shirt...its actually going to be a stencil so the lines wont connect...which im learning wasnt a good idea as its a real pain to think about that while drawing

the other 2 are a pannel i did to cover the hole in the floor of the roadster...i tried to make it look like it was the corner of an old sign from my shop or something that i trimmed down to fit in the car...its engine turned..then painted black to leave the logo turned...then all rubbed through and whatnot with sandpaper/brake cleaner

not too productive this week aside from wireing!

My favorites so far are the Slide stuff both grown up and 4 year old, and the Wet Paint striping, especially the first shot. It has sort of a perfect circle in it which looks impossible.

I'm using the Friday Art Show to motivate myself to make something every week. While I was up north last weekend, I had some time to just sit and paint. (It was cold out anyway.) I did this toolbox with my name on it. Still practicing. It was all freehand though. No guidelines or nothin'.

[Slide]

earl scheib-- I am really diggin Brandon's stripes. They have an unusual feel to them with the (almost) right angles combined with the curves. It makes for a nice contrast.

The other side of my Pinstriping Tool Kit.

[kritz]

decided i wanted a fancy new striping box...couldn't find anything worth using, so i decided to make my own...just finished it up tonight with the actual painting of it...
if i had to do it again, i would probably do some things different...but oh well..
it's 2ft long, 1 ft. high, and 8 inches deep with a drawer for brushes and goodies.

[kustomkoupe]

heres a plate i did

Looks nice Kritz I dig it and like the brass. I've been thinking about doing one for me out of extra oak I got for hardwood floors. I't would probably weigh a ton though what did you use and how the weight with it full.

[spent]

As usual, lots of nice work here. Psychoarts, that RF cleaver rules. Kritz, I'm envious of that box, both the box itself and the striping on it. I've been looking for a good wooden box for a while now. The lettering on there kicks ass.

Just a couple from me this week. First up is a metal toolbox I bought because I was thinking of trying my hand at striping at shows. It's way too damn small, but what the hell, it was cheap and I can always keep my extra crap in an old ammo can 'till I score a wood box. This was my first real attempt at lettering- it turned out okay [I did it with my striping sword. I need some lettering quills].




Next is a wooden toilet seat I did tonight:

[cougardan]

Would you like some HAMB with those Holapenos? Maybe it's still Friday somewhere.

[Janne]

I did this for guy who is building one from fordoor into chopped tudor.
