Art & Inspiration Early Friday Art Show...

OK I'll go first. My feeble attempt at "bomber nose art" Found this "Union Box" at a garage sale and the olive drab paint just screamed for this kind of decor.

In case you wondered, the "serial number" is in code. A=1 B=2 etc.

H.A.M.B.'07

 

cool, its Friday am here what you all waiting for )

 

Okay, looks like I'll start this one....Let's see what you've done this week?!?

Here's a concept rendering of the 1950 Pontiac Business Coupe I'm currently building.
Started with and old dealer promo advertisement scan this morning and went from there....putting the finishing touches on it after lunch.

 

hot rod valentine

 

I did this kustom car last summer. It has no brand. Colored pencils and guache on dark blue Canson paper.

 

kinda OT but i'm starting to work with some day of the dead hot rod stuff next.

 

Some old stuff to bump this thread to the top

 

How 'bout this??

 

or maybe this by Steve Cox.

 

ok here's the deal; there's a modern day two art show thread jones going on around here so I guess I'll put up both on the backside. F.T.E. I also want to mark out to all of the artists that post on here! This is the most talent in one place one da intranet.
let me know what you think of the taildragger and the alexander bros. grasshopper they are both done with two sharpie markers
I haven't decided if the style is worth pursing further.

What???two art shows going at once...hot dog now I get twice the fun...

 

We need to decide which of the two art shows currently going is it going to be.

 

OK I am going to break out my "A" list material
maybe the admins could merge the two art shows?

 

First stab at an odd rod sytle piece, done on vellum with No. 2
pencils and a Sharpie...thats what I had laying around the house..colored
in Photo Deluxe. Good, Bad, just ok what do you think or should I
just stick to what I know?

 

2 Art Shows, eh?
Ok, so here are some new ones from me.

This is a quickie Photoshop paint job rough for a painting I may do.


Here is another '56 for a customer, still just a sketch for a final painting.


Here is an acrylic sketch I did for another painting I want to do of a front engine digger.

Those sharpie drawings are the shit. Are you going to make any prints of them?

 

What???two art show threads this week...super stuff on both as usual

Here is my first try at an odd rod style thing, on vellum with No.2
pencil, sharpie, cause that is what I had to work with, and colored
in Photo Deluxe...good, bad, so-so what do you think or should
I stick to my usual stuff that I know..

 

'53 DeeeeeSoto

 

What happens when you land your VW on top of a '54 Chrysler

 

Nice!

 

Some new art this week. The first is a CD binder of mine, which I used as a warmup before tackling my friend's laptop. He applied the Arctic Cat decal, then gave me free reign on the rest of it. The paint was still wet when I took the photos, so the Stabilo is still visible. Minor detail....

 

Funny, for me that IS finished! Looks cool.

 

A couple new ones:a $1.00 vinyl travel bag picked up at a local second hand store and a $0.00 bevelled glass lamp shade a friend of mine scored on trash day somewhere(along with about 10 sets of fan blades.These are future projects).

 

im dig'n this a lot.

 

Ok. Here's one that I started earlier this week and just got it done today.
Lots of you lookers usually do not get to see a progression of the work
from start to finish so I thought I would try and do a sequence of shots as
the painting progresses. This is the start of the painting. I did not show
the sketch part as the sketch was so light that it did not show well.
Should I skip this and get to the final product? You may not like how it ends up,
or maybe you will. Interested?
Here is the first installment.


At this point I'm just trying to get my bearings with color direction.

Hey gang, another Desk Top Art Work. This one is #90 and is a rendition of a 29 Ford pickup.
