Art & Inspiration *****Friday Art Time 4/1*****

Well I've been trapped in the studio for the last few months but I FINALLY have some new stuff to show off! I'm offline tomorrow but wanted to toss up some stuff tonight! Lets do this!

Here is the first thing...just got these new shirts in-stock and ready to roll!




I also just finished up these cafe racer/dragster shift knobs....


They are both available on my site.....but here is something exclusive to hotrodshiftknob.com and just released- A new sugar skull shifter!

 

Box....

 

Capt. McNutt and sidekick McBolt...
debut their new transcontinental racer!

 

Happy Friday ....... for those who like bikes.
　

 

just wrapped this up an hour ago, have to meet up with Gene tomorrow... maybe then it can be shown completely... hehe

 

Did a rework on this, and it got printed today... ass, ass or ass, nobody rides for free!

 

another new one hot off the press... the best Cams money can buy

 

Cool Clysdale!
Nice work Bob!
Great stuff Gary! Love the Erl Dude!
Allison...whats the secret? Nice work Man!

 

Jeff you are my second favorite hero.

 

Hey kids!
Here's the way to modernise that tired old Corvette, and get hip so you can hang with the kool kids.. add a Stingray 'shield!

 

Hot Rods and animals, always a great combo!!!

 

30 Sedan

 

and finally, did this for my buddies truck... the truck looks awesome Josh!

 

Great ideas Clysdale. Man I think you'll do well with these sculptures. I'm starting to think like a vendor as I'm at the Goodguys Del Mar Show today showing my stuff for the first time this weekend. Internet service costs $12.95 at the Marriott so that's price of admission for me to post here on the FAS. It's worth it but here's I now think: Gotta sell one more shirt to pay for internet. Three days of parking at the hotel @ $18 per day means I need to sell three shirts and a silkscreen print. It's a well-moneyed crowd here in Del Mar so maybe I'll make enough to get home.

Here's how I got here: Graphics applied by John Mearns from ACME Speed Shop.



Here's a couple of my silkcreen prints on chip board...

 

great work guys!! here are a few new ones i just finished.

 

I don't know how you guys post so any pictures going back and forth to Photobucket without losing something along the way like I do. I'm here to get my $12.95 internet access hotel fee so here's another one..

 

Some photography from around Vegas:



and:

 

And another one...

 

Nice work BO! Burn up that $12.95!

 

Selling one of these I should be able to afford an $8 beer...

 

Outstanding work gary....You're always at the top of your game, but this one is so much more than I'm used to seeing....MagicX2! Thank you....Centurion9

 

lookin good already everyone. mines a little bit off topic but i hope you can still appreciate the effort i put in (my first proper lettering job. been practicing a while). its a gift for my pop's 80th birthday

 

I totally dig this Gary!

 

One last post plugging my shirts and stuff: - Now available from my own Zazzle web store - about a dozen new fully customizable hot-rod/kustom kulture T-shirts, mouse pads and other Dutch Courage Graffix swag:

 

One last thing.. already posted this once but just so its out there, you can get this from Austin speed shop.. they will have it available this week end at the round up.

 

allot of great are guys....

 

I know everyone is at the Lonestar Round Up (and believe me I wish I was there too!) but I gotta ask the community for contributions to Torque Fest art show. We are about 27 days away from the show and we are issuing one last public statement/appeal.

If you are an artist that would like to contribute to the cause - please email
[email protected]


Artists that are contributing to the art show this year include Doug Dorr, Big Toe, Ian Monroe aka Van Gor, 3 Sheets, Joey Finz, Relic, One Armed Bandit, One Shot Kustoms, Psychotic Air, Flying Weasal Garage, Arlo DIllman, and many more that I cant think of right now.

Here is what we do - we send you the "canvas"
This year we have a 15" x 15" iron cross that is an exact aluminum reproduction of the surfers cross that Ed Big Daddy Roth used to produce in the mid 60s.

Here is the blank cross:




here is what Dorr came up with:


Check out the article that was published about the surfers cross/ Ed Roth in Time Magazine back in 1966




We will have an expanded art show in 2011. Not only will we have special one off
contributions made by some great artists from around the world. We will also have some
pieces of their original art for sale! Prices will be determined by the artist. This part of the
show is being handled by Keven Carter of http://car-n-art.com/

Original pieces of art will need to be delivered to John Wells or Keven Carter by April 20, 2011.
If you wish to have your art displayed properly - it should arrive already framed and matted.
We will NOT have the time to be able to do this for the artists. Please include your name,
location, and price with each piece that you send. If you wish to contribute other pieces like
bowling pins, lamp shades, quarter panels, etc. this will not be a problem. They will be put on
display along with the more conventional art as well.


Thanks
