Art & Inspiration >>> Friday Art Show - April 25, 2008 <<<

Traditional rod, traditional medium.
Occasionally I turn the computer off and pick up the pencils.
Actually the computer is still on, but not for this drawing.
An old garage scene with an old drag car.

 

nice gary! I love me some pencils.

 

Go Gary! Nice stuff.
hey- did I see that correctly-- the phone # for the body shop has a prefix that has letters in it?

 

That's right Fridge. That's the way I remember them from when I was a kid. All the phone numbers, where I lived in Southwestern PA, were done that way. The phone companies went to all numerals in the late 50's.

 

Ok, after missing a few Fridays I'm back....this is a work in progress for the California Screamin art show at the Gasoline Gallery in El Segundo in May....Under the wire as it has to be finished in the next 5 days....

Enamel on an 8' board....WIP "Make Mine a Zombie"

I got some Cool reflections after I washed my engine.

 

Hey guys, I saw the black and white stuff that Ger was doing, was digg'n it and tried my hand. It's about 4"x6"

 

This is an old one. It's kind-of tranportation related. It's called "Bob's night out".

 

This is another old one. Markers and colored pencils.

 

I know I just showed these pics of j-bird's work on my thread.
But I just had to show them again in the Friday art show.

 

Great work Del......jp

 

This is cool.

 

This one was a tribute to Tramp Warner. He was our honoree this year at the Pinstripe legends auction at theMilwaukee World of Wheels show. It wasn't done, but it was the end of the show and there was a buyer who liked it how it was. I was only able to get this quick snapshot.
