Art & Inspiration *.*.*early FRIDAY ART SHOW*.*.*

Hey guys I haven't seen a thread for the art show yet, so I thought I would start it up.

Here is what I've done the past couple of weeks...

First is my biggest 1-shot painting yet...its about 3'x2'..I did it on my friends fridge at his shop.





I also did this awesome project for Cole, which I'm told will be put on t-shirts that will be for sale at Sturgis...


....Now lets see some more art!

 

1 Shot - That beatnik Frank kicks ass! Love the "Evel" spin on the Cole Foster logo. Too cool!! Nice work man!

 

I'll jump in early too. Old lunch box that a buddy brought over for some detailin'....

 

Nice work, 1-Shot and Daddy-O!
Dug out a piece from a few months back that I almost forgot about...

 

VERY COOL lines and lettering daddy-o! I love the color combo too!

...and Thanks Spaulding! You were the first one to point out the "evel" theme that Cole wanted! By the way...the fridge is located in Wellington, KS...so if you ever go down to the Black Widow Garage, you'll get to see it in person!

...and polock...'36 Fords are my weakness!!! great rendering!

 

Meeting Notes:

 

I dug this one way out of the digital camera archives . . . back from 1998. I *wish* I had this shot in a more modern many megapixel size. Enjoy:

 

And one more . . . just for grins. You can almost see the wheels turning.

 

Flames & Stripes....

 

Daddy-o lookin good! you going to the 42 thang?

Heres what i got
one of these days i will lear how to make shit smaller

 

Here's a poster I did for a friend of his '32

 

got a ton of new pics this week.....a roadster pickup I did last summer, a 17" ceramic coke bottle vase, and a shop trailer back door

 

Here is a scoot that I painted a little while back... Just got one of my photographer friends to take some nice snaps of it... HOK Sunset Pearl base with real fire inside of traditional flames with a a top coat of red candy over the top set of flames...

Just realized that it is very hard to see what I was trying to describe in the photo of the full bike... Here is a detail so you can get a closer look...

Great start so far!

Here's my contribution for the week. The world debut of the '06 Pileup art...

 

Great stuff as usual everyone.

Not much new, did another wine bottle the other night, and a clock.

 

here's a HAMB type ride that I lettered and striped for Steve the airbrush guy in Toronto north....

 

and Dag , here's one with a licence plate for Lynn !!

 

nice work rollie, and nice ride too. hey if you ever need an apprentice let me know

 

No talent on my part, just good timing.

 

Since I won't be here for the real Friday Art Show... LOL.... Here are two signs that I'll be bringing to sell at the Asphalt Invitational, this weekend. And a sneak preview, pen and ink of one of my new Poster Pop stickers,for you gasser guys.

Hope to see some of you guys there,

my contribution for the week
complete with two new panels
(see thread about the great hot rod wreck for more details) "traditional is cool execpet safety areas"

this version illustrates how the car slid sideways, essentially doing a curb grind. maybe not that bad, but it seemed like it.

 

Busch, is that what you mean by a "hopped up Model A?"

 

literally!!!!

 

heres a little bit i did on my glove box door. also a better pic of the striping i did a while back.

also while i was at the machine shop pickin up a block and crank for my buddy, a guy walks in the shop and asks who the pinhead is. i guess he had seen my truck by the door. i ended up talking to the guy for a while and he gave me a can of fire red 1 shot to try out. ive been usin just some cheapy derusto oil based paint for all my other stuff. so im excited to see how well the 1 shot works.

 

Von Franco RULES.

Stoned hoods and crooks.

I love it.

 

great work everyone...slinger that fridge is badass...

here's couple of s10 tailgates I did recently...

 

Haven't painted a tiki in awhile.
