Art & Inspiration Too early for a Friday Art Show?

I know it's just barely Friday, but I'm awake and bored. Anyhoooooo.....

Here's some stuff I've been working on. The first one, I like, but the lighting on the car doesn't match the background. The second one matches, but it's not as dynamic. Oh well. I'll get it figured out. The car is the main focus anyway. The third one is in progress. Should have it finished some time in the next 12 hours or so. Let's get this ball rollin'!!

 

looks good man!!!

 

Worked on Rat Rods this week.... Photos were taken by my friend Kid Deuce and artwork by me. Hope you enjoy them.

 

Giddy-Up!!!
Here's my latest pencil job...

"Drag'n 40" pencil rendering

 

Twisted tradition.
Start with a very traditional rod body.
In this case a 32 Ford roadster. Slice, dice and mince it.
Add a transverse, mid-engine V8, a bubble top and
a crazy paint job.

Somewhere between Roth and a formula car;
I give you the Transverse Rod!

 

been a long time since Ive posted here.....some of my latest

 

Here's one from my "Old Masters" series.....

 

Ed...wow....once again...amazing work....

Gary C...as always, your work is amazing....

57 Bob, really nice work, despite you using the word R*T ROD

Nothing from me this week, I've had a shitty couple of days, and ended up having to put my kitty Jesse James down this afternoon.

 

Nit really car related but I got a new shirt design I drew up
Back will be

front over the ribs maybe

 

I'll post up some of my crap I did last weekend:





The backseat of my '57 Ford got a workout:





As did sko_ford's car:











I haven't even gotten through all the photos from the L Hell shoot, so more next week if you guys like these.

 

Man, it's been forever since i've posted anything. Here's a few new things...

Shirt art for the Canadian Hot Rod Tour...


More shirt art...


Something I'm working on this very minute...


Background for an older piece...


Can't remember if I ever posted this one...

 

Suit from over at HAMBKU writes bitchin' poems. I asked to chuck one on this week's show with an appropriate visual support. Here goes-


It's a universal chowder
of metal and skin
it all gets absorbed
And spit out again

Poor old Chevy
Left in a marsh
Your road was weathered
Your road was harsh

Poor Mister Porter
left in a home
they all moved away
and now he's alone

The two of you will pass
and be covered in dirt
then you'll break down
Mister Porter will finish first

Then someone will plant a garden
Or drinking water will flow
You've been long gone
so they'll never know

that they're eating a dashboard
or drinking a foot
Mister Porter is delicious
He's much better cooked..

Hubcaps become tomatoes
tomatoes become cars
Cars become pickles
and are kept in some jars

Suit

Been so bust with work I hardly get to draw my own stuff, let alone post any. So, throwing caution to the wind, I decided to do a quicky...
I took this:



And give it some color. This may end up being a concept sketch for a truck I hope
to 'pick up' (sorry) in the near future. Hopefully the real one wont be all bent and distorted tho...
