I see one a couple pages back. The art looks good, but it's displayed so small it's hard to really say much. When I click the image, it just goes to imageshack's main page, not a bigger image of your art.

You guys are simply magical---so much energy! I love it!!



One day I sat back to see how much I could remember of our old garage:

PDQ...

THIS is cool. I greatly appreciate the elevation/floorplan. (I took a lot of drafting courses long before the advent of digital age) The piece you posted invites the viewer to explore your art and thus your shop... Your style is honest and original... old school... I dig it. Looks to me as if you had a cool place to work...

Thanks RTrimmer!
I never thought of this as my place of work --I was 9 nine when the place looked like this -from my memory, about 1972--it is the family business shop but yes I did work there--I washed the toilets and cleaned the rubber carpets--hahaha. I also pumped gas for one day, I charged $1000 for 10 bucks of gas and that was it-still not good with math hahaha!

Thanks for the compliments on the ol' '57 Chevy, guys. Here's the whole piece. It was on the back of my Woodward T-shirt back in '97.

Great stuff, Todd, Del, and everyone!!!

I started out with a 40 Ford 2-door sedan.
Front fenders and running boards have been removed.
The rear fenders are two pairs of 40 Ford rear fenders welded together
to give an enclosed, pontoon look. The area behind the doors has been
shortened and pie cut down the middle to produce a boat tail look.
A Zephyr grill might add a bit more style to the front end.
A two tone paint job finished this one off.

Also some work-up sketches I used to make the final rendering.

Man, your stuff rocks! I always enjoy your posts.

Thanks Animal. I really appreciate that!

Anyone up for the 20 minute sketch show?

fortypickup, nice entry this week. Thanks for the kind words. This one's for you.
Here are a couple study sketches similar to those I use for inspiration when designing posed girls to work with the cars. I don't use 'live' models any more ( I don't use dead ones either.) I find making them up as I go is more challenging and the wife is a bit more understanding. (Not a real problem as she's most supportive of my art.)
(I don't give them names either.)
