  2. Keith is also a very personable fellow, I met him while buying some prints at the Roundup.

    I too enjoy talking to Keith. I love his ideas. That pic of that truck looks like a cross between the Deora and Roth's Zepplin repair truck or whatever he called it that day.

    I wish I had enough walls in my house for his stuff.
     
  4. Hope that female in the artwork is just a" imaginary friend" .

    neat stuff ....
    ifn the walls are full do the ceiling next..
    then move to bigger digs.

    Keith's work is a big inspiration to me. And his art draws you 'in' to his WORLD.....it's a cool place!
    The artists of today are really blowing me away, guys like Keith, Jimmy Smith, Norwell, Chris Froggett, Zombie, Forbz, etc....just SO MANY that "get it".....
    I've started drawing again and will be trying my hand at painting and airbrush illustration as well...it's been awhile since I drew anything worth a shit....these guys will keep me motivated......

    I had the honor of visiting Coby' (road apple) pad to see how he was coming along and to witness his sickness for collecting lowbrow pieces from many artists. I noticed that he had quite a # of originals from Weezner amongst many other' too ( Von Franco, McPhail, Roth, Williams, Coop, etc). Mind you, it is a good sickness! KNUX!

    Weesner's a good cat, the fact he's an amazing artist is almost irrelevant.

    I have most of his prints, two Kandy Krate's, one is right in front of me on my works' office wall.
    People are always commenting on it.

    Talented guy, bitchin' artwork, nice cars too.

    My name is Coby and I am an art whore. It is my heroin.

    Let me tell you though, when you are sick and must spend several long weeks in your home, it sure is nice to have something to stare at other than white walls.

    Yes Coby but, that is a good sickness that I wish I had that you have. I am jealous. My pieces are of your stuff that I started with. Let the sickness begin.........KNUX!

    I've commented before that when I forst met Weez (about 4 years ago) was the only time I have ever been star struck... and it's even cooler that he is a great guy...

    I have gone to his studio, and was amazed at all the little sketches lying around... great stuff!

    I haven't met Keith but "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I met his Dad, Jerry, at the Detroit Autorama a couple years ago. "Dad" is verry laid back and kool also. Guess it runs in the family?

    Keith Weesner's paintings make sense, well, to me anyway. It's funny how you can see Hot Rods and Customs today infused in his paintings and visa versa. A very humble guy too. Also, read the articles they scaned. http://www.keithweesner.com/press.html

    Just click on the image/magazine cover.

    Keith is a great guy. I don't own any of his stuff, but I can relate to Ryan's wall:

    Keiths work is awesome..I too have met him...alittle quiet at first, but a hell of a nice guy...I too have started "collecting" his prints, and I look at them as inspiration..I grew up with a pop whos intyo 60's era drag stuff, so its fitting to have them hanging in my "eating area"...his work seems to speak to me, no matter which one it is...Always dig it...
     
  23. Weez and his wife Penny are two of the nicest folks you'll ever meet - we look forward to having them here in Austin every year. His stuff is amazing - I got an original painting last year - they are small and crazy-detailed up close in person.

    I think there are still a couple of nicely framed limited edition Giclee prints available in the Continental Gallery from the Roundup show - if you act quick you might fill up some blank space on your wall. I know I did.

    Elixir, Mulholland, and Femme are available

    I agree! his work is the best!~ I have 6 of his paintings. I just recieved the Mullholland Giclee and hung it over the fireplace in my livingroom. Chix dig his art too.... any babe thats ever been at my house has made positive remark of the prints! I met his wife at the GNRS but missed him. My favorite artists: Weesner, Robt Williams, Trosley.....I studied art too, had a comic strip once, but man, those guys are the tops, especially Keith....just check out my avatar....nuff said.....

    The timing of this post is uncanny.

    I just bought another Weesner print late last night.

    Cindy bought a Femme print last year from the Roundup gallery, hangs by her dressing table.
    I have to pee in the other bathroom.
