Art & Inspiration ***FRIDAY ARRRRT SHOW*** Aug. 4/06

Hey all,
I don't think I see an art show yet.

I'll start.....

Monster T-shirts.

 

Love that Tiki's tongue!

 

Cool shirts Tingler!

Here are some stickers and t-shirts that I have been working on. Check out www.vintage-strippers.com when you get a chance. Forgot to mention earlier, FREE SHIPPING ON SHIRTS.

A gig poster...

 

Tingler, as always, killer! Sean, cool designs! And stickylifter, I dig your work, and man, do you have a ton of cool stuff on your site...
All I got this week is a lakes-style roadster...

 

WOW! I dig this!

Here is something I finished up this week. I posted it before without color, so here it is with color.

 

flyingpolock, nice roadster. Really dug your "were moving dragster" from last week. I am working on another dragster at the moment, hopefully have something up in a week or two.

Sean

 

That's all you got...man, that ain't bad!!!

 

Inspired by Dirty31's new project, I had to scrawl out this A coupe that's been running thru my head for a few months. Oh, and Brush, you convinced me to try Painter on this one. It's a pretty cool app!



And my 5-year-old son did this one of a FourDoor A sedan doing a burnout... complet with fire from the zoomies.


Flyingpolock-- wow. That's awesome!

 

Amazing work guys!

Here is an illustration of speedaddict's '39 chevy.

Went to Sears Point last weekend for the NHRA round....sunburnt as hell, and only took a few pictures....I was rather taken with this 'Vette tho...

 

Just wanted to say Love you guys work...I look forward to Friday Art Show pics everyweek!!! Personally I have NO drawing skill whatsoever so I won't embarrass myself by posting something I have done. Rather I will save face and post a couple of pics of some recent WHODAKY striping done on my sisters 60 chev.

 

Jigger,

Thanks for the kind words. I am working on a new shirt right now for Vintage-Strippers, I am soooooooooo stoked to be doing it! I should have something in a week or so.

Sean

I can't thank Hatman enough for turning me on to this place. You all truly
inspire me. Seriously, I shoulda been here years ago. It's not just the art either, I told my wife I found a place where they don't even care how bad I spell!

Here's 3 more for this week;
First is a scan of finished Apache
Second is a color option I did of
said Apache on Photoshop
(I promise no more Apache)
Third is the skecth responsible for the name `Jigger'

 

I just LOVE this Art thing on Fridays! Thanks for the cool posts!


Slight name change; same Avatar;...same ole dude!

 

Went to NHRA race last weekend...This jem was parked, had to get a shot (or two, maybe three)...Is the owner A HAMBER?

 

damn jigger your art rocks someday i ll be up there with ya but im more of a tattoo art guy and i also do grafitti but i dont think you guys want to see any of my grafitti wall stuff so ill keep it to my self lol

That could be what `The KING' looks like today.
(No disrespect intended, Memphis.)
My advise to all young artists is, observe your surroundings, carry a sketchbook and favorite art tools with you everywhere and Draw, draw
draw! Even in your sleep. The Hamb is a great place to get inspiration.
If that sketch is from the mind and hand of an 8th grader the talent is there so find a good art school and learn to draw `right' . It's like any other vocational choice,you really have to keep at it and always stive to do the
next piece better than the last. Most of all, allow and accept criticism. this is one of an artists greatest tools so long as it's constructive and not either overly mean or overly adorning. Keep at it. There's promise in them thar brain-o-yours.

 

I say this every week, but damn, Zombie! Wow. I got a headache from taking in all the detail!
Sean, Slide, Fordy6, Jigger, thanks!
Slide, that coupe is killer! Great job by your son, too! And Toyghoul, I love that box! My wife saw me scrollin', and yelled "go back!" from across the room...
Machobuck, show us some more! Diggin' on the piece you posted, and if that's from about 3 years ago, I can only imagine where you're at now. And like Jigger pointed out, carry a sketchbook everywhere and draw EVERYTHING. you'd be amazed at what you can pick up drawing a shopping cart or pile of trash (aside from tetanus, etc)... seriously. (and it'll give you a huge advantage if you pursue it in school, and take life-drawing classes)

 

Yeah, I agree about the stuff zombie's putting out lately.

And thanks for the props Brush and flyingpolock. That's huge coming from yall.

There have been some really good inspiring art shows the last few weeks... and this week's already turning out to be another one!

flyingpolock-- I don't want to expose your secret recipe, but it looks like you are combining vector and "brushstrokes"... what software/media are you using (If I may ask!)?

 

Yep,
Life drawing! Don't think of it as drudgery. What really helped my drafting skills was when I quit thinking about how I was just drawing stuff and actually drawing 3-D objects. Your pencil is like a sculptors chisel and the paper's the stone. This is where learning animation paid of in my approach to evrything I draw, especially cars. Allow your eyes to wrap around what you're looking at as you draw then ours will too as we view it. And work loose.
