[jdustu]

That's cool Gary. Saw it on FB when some mutual friends "liked" it...didn't realize it was you. Dig it.

Some stuff from this week.


Schwinn Sting-Ray


Trike



Smokin' Sedan

[57 Corvette ~ Bob]

Outstanding work Gary ........

[GaryC.]

Thanks Josh and Bob. Those bikes are AWESOME! ... and Bob; I'm diggin' Bowser!

[BOMONSTER]

We drove all the way to the Lone Star Roundup with ACME and Grundy, covered the booth walls with lots of hot rod art for sale and this scratchboard original sold first. I had fun talking with real artists Squindo, McPhail, Shawn Warcott, Weesner, Timebomb Jasin, Crash, Low Cab, Norwell, Ben Mitchell, and so many cool HAMB stars and fans. Next time I'll bring more bike art. Big thanks to Lone Star Mopar for retrieving my banner which "blew off" the fence and saved me having to pay a big fine for littering the fine state of TX.

[JeffreyJames]

Just finished a new T Shirt Design for the online site I'm launching....

[thebigkg]

Gary, I dunno how I missed yours but I did. Very cool image that one, is it just me or is that slightly 'softer' than your normal work?

...No big new piece here this week, just this little reminisce on olden days 'round here. Something bigger next week..

[Dutch Courage]

Nice work again guys!

Doug over at Cowtown Speed Shop, Independence, MO had me do a T-shirt of his dad's '29 Model A PickUp:

thanks ger im as proud as a new papa this is my truck and i love it .you truely are an artist thanks very much ron (hotrodlane)

[Jigger]

You fellers are all rockin' the joint. Here's a little doodle I did earlier in the week...

[fory]

Wow there's already so much kool stuff and Friday's only 30 minutes old!!

Bomonster- your work always amazes me!!

jdustu- really bitchin sculptures!! I love metal work like that. There's a kid in my shop class that made a "metal" band you'd probably dig. I'll try to take a pic of it.

Dutch Courage- very kool work, man!

Jigger- Van's rule!!! There's a guy that lives under the overpass (yes, down by the river) going into Fortuna in a freakin sweet early 60s Dodge van.... Every time I drive by him I have visions of almost exactly your sketch...

Tonight (geez, It's past my bed time) I'm the featured artist at my high school for McKinleyville Art Night. I'm super pumped for it! Anyways, here's some last minute pieces I literally just finished. I'm gonna be doing some live work on a couple cars there too, I'll post those next week.

My mom uses to be into photography, and I credit her for both the photos and the idea.




I've really been diggin on asymmetrical pieces lately. Just gives it a little more work for the eye to do I think.


If anyone local is interested the show starts at 6pm and is at McKinleyville High School right in the front parking lot. Free hot dogs and root beer floats, too!!!

[Fool Injection]

Never mind Christmas, I wish every day was Friday!

[cixpack]

Salut les hambers !

A 61 bubble chevy for me this week!



Made on my Ipad, while travelling in a train. I used a awesome software called "artrage" ...

[Wild Willy]

"Woodie" day!

[Joey Anchors]

Great work everyone! here are a couple photos I took with my 1953 Argus C3 using Tmax100 film

[dustdevil]

Here is a new scratchboard piece I finished I call "BarHopper" I wanted to try a fishscale paint job on something so I decided to do this. I had fun. The actual tank is only about a 1 1/2" wide. Original is 9"x12". Lots of fun. Hope you dig it! Nate Grice

[MikePA]

Good morning.....a couple monochrome shots today...

[BigNick1959]

BUICK 59: WOW what a photo. That picture screams speed and horsepower, you can almost hear the whine from that blower!!

EVERYONE ELSE: Fantastic work also! It's going to be a very good show!!!

Gary, that is one fine piece!,
Josh and Bomonster are becoming a given that anything they post will be better than the previous weeks offering!!
Corvette Bob, your skills always amaze me.
Dutch Courage, you are just an outright Pro.
Jigger, I always look forward to yours, you draw what is in all our heads!
Forey, Wish I could be there.
Spoggie, Very cool, I really like the style.
If I missed anyone, it's because I'm old.

One right on the edge of 63, the Chrysler Turbine, burning the weeds.

[Kustom Linez]

Great work guys. Here is a bit of this weeks work.

Danny Thompson is bring back Challenger 2. It was built by his Dad, Mickey Thompson back in the late 60's. He's making a few changes, (Safety and parachute configuration, Top Fuel motors, Foose paint scheme, etc) Here's his website with more info about the new vision for Challenger 2.
www.thompsonlsr.com
The Challenger 2 was Mickey Thompson’s blueprint for fulfilling his dream of building the fastest piston powered car in the world. The revitalization of this project in the form of the Challenger 2.5 represents Danny’s quest to fulfill his father’s legacy and reclaim motorsports history.
This is a drawing I just finished of Challenger 2.5.... Danny's going to have prints available soon. Please stand by! 420 here we come!

"Challenger 2.5" pencil on board 20x30

[zeke1270]

Everything is so good on here, so much talent. Couple from the basement, 1 Shot on canvas. Both 16 x20.

[TMooreGraphics]

Great stuff so far this week! I've got nothing new that I can share...but here's an older one. Hoping to print some of these on T's soon...

[ToddJ]

Ed- What a beautiful tribute to Mickey and Danny! Fantastic motion and the portraits look stellar! Excellent sir!

[h2omonkey]

Not my work obviously, just a little something I picked up at Viva from Bomonster, thanks man!

[coolstuff]

sorry - I dont know how to resize images....
the Rat Finks are coming in pretty steady now!
If you have not finished yours - PLEASE do so!!!
All Rat Finks are gonna be sold at the art auction on Saturday at the Vintage Torque Fest - all proceeds go to the Hannah Wells Medical Trust

Excellent work Gary....always a treat, this one is outstanding! Thank you.....

[smarjoram]

Love all the photography this week, Bomonster - crazy, the repair shop graphic is terrific and I love the simplicity of Jimmy's streamliner.

I've been busy on a commission lately and have been neglecting the HAMB - but I have got a few sketches to share. First up an old landy...

This one was commissioned by a chap in Canada - he built the car himself using a huge truck chassis...

I did a few more postcard-sized made up cars...


a quick sketch of the big Fiat LSR car...

this one I did on the iPad, painting over one of the Audi press launch images...

and lastly there's this. It's the test rig for the rocket that will go in our LSR car. 1000L of HTP and a pump driven by an 800hp F1 engine - it'll empty it in 20secs! I sketched it on paper, took a photo of it and added the colour on the iPad - nice to be able to leave out the scanner...

Thanks Ron! Great truck - had a lot of fun drawing that!

[travisfromkansas]

I have a love/hate relationship with Fridays. You folks put up some incredible work, but you set the bar so high! I dig it, I would tell each of you what I dig but I literally don't have time, lunch hour is almost up. Thank you all for posting!

Here's a couple of my night shots while goofing off on Congress on Thursday night.









That's probably too many but I really dig going out with a fixed lens with a big aperture and just seeing what I can find by the city lights. Hope you guys and gals have a fantastic Friday and weekend.

See you at a show,

Travis

KILLER!

These cars are from the Deluxe Speed Shop in Denver, Colorado. I don't know the owners personally, but I'm pretty sure that's the fathers car on the right and the sons on the left. They're going to LOVE this!

[N.Ozols]

amazing show! some really inspirational stuff, keeps reminding me to get myself to do some more proper stuff.

I'll contribute with a few sketches, again


(dont look at the messed up leaf spring, it was a late late nite heheh)

[G V Gordon]

Que Stick Canes

One with an antique glass door knob and one with a 1 Ball mounted on top.

Not really auto related but think of them as wooden shift levers. lol

[hotrodrendering]

Thanks Corvette bob!!

[Joey Anchors]

Thanks fur biscuit. I have shot with this Argus C3 for 7 years and it keeps amazing me with just what it can produce. Now it can't get the detail like the Graflex can, but I am just loving the tones it gets!

[Joey Anchors]

Wow, these are awesome works of art. So photography is OK to post, even if the Photoshop is only mild?
