Art & Inspiration ~~~**friday art show 6/29/12**~~~

LOWCAB aka Bernie Ramirez did this way cool Rat Fink for the Vintage Torque Fest art auction. This stands about 2 feet tall and is made of metal. We had so many pieces of art at the show that the auctioneer was unable to get through all of the submitted pieces.
This contribution is being auctioned off on the Vintage Torque Fest FB page and my personal page. Just go under the comments section and place a bid - if you are not on there just send me a PM.
All proceeds from this auction go directly to our daughters Medical Trust. Last year we had to pay out $18K in medical for her....this was a healthy year. Artists like Bernie have taken the time to help out and make sure that we continue to pay down these bills.
Thanks so much for helping out Bernie - you are the coolest.

Cory says, "Thanks but I dont deserve it. I dont have time to do something nice.". He says he likes everything on here. Anyway, heres some more floor scraps.

 

Love the Caddy Cory, I'd love to see that one to completion, there's a lot of great thought going into that concept and it all looks doable.

CoolStuff knows why Bernie is a HERO!

 

Back at ya Jigger, Thank you sir.

I can only contribute a O/T drawing of a motor/trans mount I did for a O/T message board. Great Show Everyone. Andy.

 

Sick work everyone, very inspirational. I wish I could draw.

As ever, some phenominal stuff. The best art show around. Here's my humble contribution.

Super capture ........




Nice find and treatment Dan ........



Killer work ........

 

Jeff this is outstanding even better in the JJ

And Damn Girl your brush work is outstanding!!!


And another altogether killer week!!!

 

Gary, this truck is ultra cool. It would be cool to see someone give you a call on it, someone with an old truck, a torch and some skills with vinyl and sparkly paint... and a wrench...

Fun comic panel. It reminds me of one I posted a few weeks back. Still I'm progress until I'm fully up and running again...

(sorry about all the re-posts folks...)

 

Every Friday art show I tell myself to sit down and start airbrushing again!
Not much here but I thought it came out cool.
Calander we did for the shop for giveaways. Not the type of art I normally do (not very good at photoshop) but didn't have time to paint it.
Wanted my motor (pic in my avatar) but it was in the car when I had the model. Just mock up a grungy block set like the good motor was and had her pose (she thought I was nuts) then photoshopped the 2 pics together.

 

Great show this week. Not much new from me, been busy with commissioned work but squeezed in a little time to stripe and paint this panel.

 

I'm jealous...some pretty creative stuff here!!

 

Very nice stuff!! I'm not sure if i'm allowed to post here but let me try.

 

Great stuff Everyone!!!!! Hand carved Aluminum Piston shift knob..... and some hand-made brass rings.

 

You guys & gals are rocking today----great lines Jen (wish I had some tallent)

 

Mines from this week

 

Great pic....one of my all-time favorite cars.

Zombie, I actually had you in mind when I drew this van. I was thinking what a custom van would look like in the early 60's?
