Art & Inspiration >>>>>> Early FRIDAY ART SHOW 05/09/08 <<<<<<

A few weeks ago
fellow HAMB'r, Brent Haines "Choppa Hanne", contacted me
about doing a 2-view rendering of his first rod project.
Brent is building a '46 Ford bobber truck with a Model A pickup box.
It's his first rod and I have seen photos of what he is doing.
First rate work and a lively imagination add up to an amazing first effort.
This piece is going to hang in his shop and should provide some
inspiration during the building process.

What you see on the doors and the box cover is Brent's
avatar, which is also a tattoo that he has.

The image with the orange background is the final rendering.
The two others are the cars separated from the rendering
for easier viewing.

Keep us posted Brent.
I can't wait to see it finished.

 

Looks great Gary.

 

Nice work Gary.

Here's one I've been working on for a while. It's called 'Birth of a Hotrod'.

 

Meteor, that is kick-ass! Always look forward to these art shows. When my car is back together, perhaps I'll have to 'invest' in some art for my walls!

 

meteor.. that's really nice, I love the lighting.

 

Meteor
Kick Ass -- absoutely fantastic art work -- one of the best I have seen

"All Go, No Slow" 2008

 

Here's the one from the "Damn Dirty Ape" show in Atlanta.

"Kill Monkey" 2008

 

Damn Tingler.........that monkey.....

 

Meteor...SWEET!

 

this is awesome, the driver looks like Dean Martin.

 

Meteor-- what medium are you using? How big is the original? The subject matter is actually real similar to an idea I've been sketching in my head for a while.

Gary, General, Ting -- Awesome as usual!

 

Man, I love early thursday/friday art shows!

After finishing up my surfboard zombie I've been trying to clear the fumes out of my studio! Did get some ink work done, here is a new tattoo design for a chest piece for a client....

 

hey meteor, fat over lean, right?

i'm having trouble with my human images in my paintings...

 

Meteor I love the lighting on the painting.


Here a a few shots of Loudpedal in action.

 

Haven't posted in a few weeks 'cause I've been busy.

Here is something I finished up the other night for Volksrods.com



This is the second t-shirt I've designed for them. The print is actually going to be on the back side of the shirt instead of the front in the picture.

I'm also about to go to print with my 8BA Flathead shirts. I should have them in about a week or so. They'll be $18 each incase anyone is interested.



Much more coming in the next couple o weeks!

 

Very nice meteor!

 

Gary the truck looks great.

TINGLE, it's nice to see some stuff. COOL stuffs! What zoo are those monkey's in?

Meteor... Fine, fine piece!
Tingler... "Kill Monkey 2008"... Crazy Fun! Love it!
And Everyone Else... Nice stuff guys!!

 

1. just one for the authorities. this week its time for the hot rodders to take a BACK SEAT

 

my son found this at one of the swap meets at a car show. I'm new to airbrushing and have been using some old badgers. I love using old equipment and am not familiar with this type. I looked it up on the web and found that this brand (Binks) is still being produced. I love the old styling and bakelite looking handle. I imagine this type is better for heavier enamel sprays since it does not rely on a needle.
I know this is not a forum for airbrushers, but i was wondering what airbrushes everyone out there is using and if anyone has some kool old
equipment. I know this type of brush was around back in the 60s, but I don't know if they are older than that

 

Some random stuff from my trip to LA & VLV...Oh, and a small part of Rt 66

 

meteor that is brilliant! When I look at I can almost feel the sensation of driving a Hot Rod out of the garage for the 1st time. Love it.

Here is a new logo for a TOP SECRET project I am working on.

 

I'm way overdue for making any contribution here....

Some pics of my chopper build and a few artsy shots of my hot rod.

 

1965 Ford Econoline
30" X 40"
Acrylics, spray paint and Indian Ink on canvas.
2008

 

Something I doodled on an airplane back from Vegas...

 

I have owned and used mine for about 20 years. It does a great job spraying model cars with enamels or laquers. Does a real nice job with acrylics to. Not so great for ultra fine work. Nice find. You can still get bottles for it.

Lotsa luck.

 

I have a rotring, and 2 Badger airbrushes..one of the Badgers is a reet pile of crap and only good for filling large areas. the rotring I have had for 20 years and is really good and precise but getting spares is getting a bit difficult so I bought the 2nd badger a couple of years ago...it's not bad at all but as i just haven't really used it too much I haven't got too used to it.....
