Art & Inspiration ***FRIDAY ART SHOW*** Sept. 22nd, '06

Hey all,
I don't see one yet, so I'll start the Thurs/Friday art show!


I've got several new things right now.

fun fun.


First up is a tiki I recently painted. I'm using a new technique. I'm going for that SHAG/60's illustrationish look. Maybe I'm doing o.k. maybe not.

 

Some of the ones from last week.

 

I haven't posted anything in the art thread for awhile so here goes...

This is #3 in a series of 4 Propaganda style Hot Rod posters I designed for the shop.

 

Been painting up a bunch of plates this week in addition to my regular stuff.Most of this is destined for Massachusetts(local thing)but a couple are for a good friend and the ididit show on October 7th.This is their twentieth open house.The MASSHOL plate might be an auction piece.

 

A couple more

 

Great tiki's TINGLER, I love the clean look you pull off with acrylics!

Django I'm really diggin' the poster man, very cool use of text!

This isn't a car, so I hope this falls into the "culture" Brush...

This ones dedicated to all the cool guys down in Texas! It's on a 20x30 canvas and was painted all with 1-shot.

 

......and automotive culture is defined as stuff like skulls, tikis, monsters, cartoon characters, etc etc.....correct?

In other words, lowbrow type stuff.....

Here's some of that "KULTURE" stuff comin on right now....
haha.

 

Thanks for the compliments.

....and that monster KICKS ASS.
Very nice.

 

Brush......loving the history lessons man.
In twenty years, my nephew will be posting tributes to you and your contemporaries.
Just wait and see.

 

Thanks for posting the "auto art history" Brush, THAT rules.

 

Thats an excellent idea.
I'm looking forward to future installments.

-------------------------------------------------


Here's some more of my work.
Here's a mad bomber dog.

Title: "Mad Dog Parsons".

I knew a guy back home with that name. He was about as round....and about as good looking.

Maybe slightly less menacing.

 

Im diggin the new stuff Tingy!

 

Come on everyone........

Lets see some more art!!

This needs to go at least 10 pages.


Here is a painting I recently did for my niece, Bethany.

Yeah....its automotive related.

 

tingler that cat one with the butcher knife is AWESOME...

if it ever comes up for sale let me know!

 

Whoop! been waiting for this...had a little trouble with posting but after a quick kick to the brain by brush i'm now on track! haha

ok first is two versions of my buick roadmaster custom! blue/black suede paint, slammed, moon discs, shoebox-buick custom grille using parts from both, bonnet(hood) reshaped to match grille and buick bonnet(hood) lines reworked to suit..lower bumper valance has been smoothed and now has a neat rolled bead to mirror the bonnet and surround the licence plate! pinstriping, tuck and roll, and shaved trim finish it off!





next up...got my finger out and actually painted a small canvas using acrylics and a not so small brush! was inspired by all the real painting going on here so thought i'd join in..crap photo but still....sled!!!



last, two versions of my latest rod rendering!, this is my kind of rod, and my kind of rendering. for my work most people ask me to produce really neat polished renderings like the buick above but they feel a little soul-less to me...these two are based on some fairly scruffy ink work and neaten'd up just enough using the airbrush tools and my tablet/lightpen in photoshop!





hope you like em!

 

Tingler, that stuff is fantastic! I love the way those new Tiki things look.
Django, your work looks great.
Brush, thanks for keeping us in line.

Here's one I posted on "pictures of you and your car." followed by an older Photoshop illust. of my car in it's current Red and "what would it look like in yellow." It's based on a thumbnail sketch I did on a post-it.






And finally, A buddy of mine (the guy I bought the Ponch from) bought a '53 Crestline HT a few years back and this was one of my suggestions on what to do with it. He didn't.

 

something i did for fun

 

tingler!, i just spent a while looking at your site...awesome awesome work!!...

i produced this plus two thers for a hot rod clothing co, they wanted simple designs for t-shirts. its not in the same league as your stuff but thought you might like it, its just ink on paper!

 

evil1: thats funny as!!

 

another 18x24 colored pencil.......

 

seriously good..where can i see more?, do you have a website?, i've seen a few others on here but it'd be great to see more, i love that technique on dark paper!!

 

Jeff....great idea about the history lessons of past great's in automotive art!!!

Joe .....nice work!!!

 

alright, Brush, Tinglee, let's rock!!

a print featuring some goodies completed over the years....
