Where bubble tops come from...
I'm working on a special project and didn't have a lot of time
for one of my full-blown renderings this week so here's a fun
sketch I did on a coffee break.

From the land of all things round... The BubbleRod!
Not just a bubble top... but a whole bubble body!

 

Smooth!
Here's another coffee break sketch
colorized in Photoshop.

 

Great start to the show!!! Cool stuff!!!

 

O.K. close enough now to friday. The other day I thought I have not done pencil to paper in awhile so...
This is black and white prisma pencil on tan illustration board.

Love your "coffee break" series Gary.
Bernie

 

This is what I have to offer this week! It is acrylic on canvas

 

Gary, the bubble is nice but that is one hell of a quick sketch.
Lowcab you are one of the people i enjoy watching for on this and your piece is why. Nice work
Spoggie I like anything with stars in the background that is sweet.

 

Thank God/ Goddess/ All that is that it's Friday !

Gary- I like that 3 window a lot
'Models on Sunday'. Be good to visit there & have some of those cats visit here.

Time to lift the lid on my shoe- box..

 

Thanks Bernie... Bigolds... Spoogie... Most appreciated!

 

Thanks Lockwood-
Wow- we're off to a good start.
If you haven't already done so I can recommend checking out Saturn through the biggest telescope you can find. Find a dark area ( no moon or street lights ).

 

Why did I mess this version of it up.......lol.................

 

some awesome artwork already nicely done everyone! here are a few new panels the first one is for a fellow HAMB artists most of us know and its ToddJ's panel i did for him, the second one is going to a pinstriper friend of mine in the Netherlands...tiki style hope all and enjoy

 

Cool Stuff guys! Here's my contribution: '40 Ford for Scott New.

 

I'm putting my toe in the water with Photoshop. Just starting to dabble with the colour box. I'm Still feelin' like Bambi in the big bad woods with Photoshop.

So as a humble beginner I hereby submit a couple of Model T's.

 

Lockwood- Only the colour !- L.O.L.
Seriously I think that would be a misunderstanding as that's not what I meant. I was thinking more about the experience of wonder to be had seeing Saturn so closely. I'm not sure you can see it too good with the naked eye. I saw it through a 5' 'scope. I's a long way away & it looked very cold to me- a very strange pale blue. And it's bloody huge ! So if you get a chance do yourself a favour & check it out.
P.S. Not quite as bad as the big ugly 'T' shell I've drawn on this black altered !

 

Great start! Thanks lockwoodkustoms. I'm a fan of anything alien.

I've created a monster!! I haven't been drawing for a while and I always wanted to try something like this. I hope you likes folks.

 

Impressive start once again! The talent just keeps growing!

Just a simple pencil sketch for a future painting from me this week. The composition was inspired by Robert Bechtle's work.

Cheers, everyone.


'49 Merc

 

Suicide stretch ?

 

Bernie,
This one rocks, keep the pencil stuff coming, it's awesome!
cheers,
CAB

 

I've got these three to post then i'll stop hoggin'.
Ubermustang-
I dig the sketch and I enjoy your pictures too. Look forward to more sightings of those good paintings. The roads- eye red fenderless roadster in suburban street is the thing I liked- this Merc sketch you show reminds me of Butch & Honey- Pie's motel room 'split the scene' scene in Pulp Fiction ( -"it's a chopper baby" / "Zed's dead baby.. Zed's dead " ). I think it's the perspective angle. Cool.

Dutch Courage- thanks for so artfully drawing one of my top 5 Fords. Dig Shultz' tuck'n'roll fingers !

Lowcab- that's a sweet drawing- One of those would be in my top five too but I don't fit in 'em.

luckystrike- I'm diggin' the multi- faceted featurism of these panels. The candy over engine turn reminds me of being a little kid when I inched up to the new '67 Holden grille badges which had blue & red translucent plastic over chrome & I'd stare into them. So i've been diggin' candy red & blue since at least 5 years old.



GaryC- I 've got to say it again- that 3W is very good. Speed dosen't kill you..

 

Looks like that is going to be a sweet painting again Ruben!

 

wow, great start so far fellers. already too much good stuff to list. heres one i finished up a couple weeks ago. oz is building this for brian everette. 24x36 double my usual size.

Zombie.....wow....just amazing work....

Everyone else....great start....



I'm off to bed.....

 

Wow Gary love the work as always I need to get a piece for the house......maybe even the corvair rod you posted a couple of weeks ago

 

O.K its almost 5a.m and I am loading the van to head to the tattoo show in Austin I will check back when I can.





.....and this one if you look closely at the car in the background it was Street Rodders cover car from a couple of months ago

 

Nice Trumpet John, have fun in Austin.

 

I've almost got this one finished, but wanted to share it anyway.

 

I've got this thing for oprn doors and cuttoff edges, just reminds me of my old polaroids.

Dave
