Art & Inspiration >>>> Friday Art Show 02/04/11 <<<<

Great stuff as usual, guys.
I wait for Friday all week.

Here are a couple of my Chop and Drop treatments using just PhotoShop.
The cars are usually pretty much stock when I photograph them, but I have my way with them when I get home.
Lotsa fun!

Good show this week, everybody!

 

A bowling Pin I painted and concept drawings for my buddy troy's 51 Plymouth Custom

 

Amazing work....

Nothing new from me this time.....however, I am currently part way through a coverup of a crappy tattoo I had done a few years back...

Fellow HAMB'er cadillac nut is doing the work for me, and so far I'm impressed...and apologies for the crappy cellphone pics...

1st one was the outline work...2nd one was this weeks mammoth shading session...

 

You guys are rockin' it today!
Here's mine. 16X20 - pencil on illustration board of a friends 52 Chevy.

 

Like Lowcab , I'm done.. Jolly good show..

 

Wow, what a lot of work this week - some wonderful photography - particularly the Bonneville shots. I'm still drawing the monster Fiat. Here are the gearbox components laid out on the workbench - these poor cogs are going to have to deal with 2200ft/lbs of torque...



... the rear axle and oak frame to support the floor, seats and bodywork...



A more technical piece of the front axle done in biro and then coloured in photoshop...



... and a test fitting of the former for the rear bodywork...



I know it's not a hot rod but I thought you might appreciate the crazy engineering. If you're really keen , I've also started a flickr photo gallery of the build.

 

Good job all. Can't wait to get back to making art. Finally getting my "area" set up.

 

I checked out your gallery. Very nice display of how shop work can turn into artwork. That helped me justify the $600 Nikon I just bought this week .

Very nice job as usual from everyone else as well. Keep it up guys! You inspire me.

 

alot of kool stuff this week good work guys

here's one i did a couple years ago. its a aluminum panel kandy paint then i engraved the bike i actually built the bike for a friend then thought it would be kool to draw it ...what you think?

 

I like the sports car man. Neat stuff. This shows been gettin good lately.

 

I really like these water color renderings!

 

looks like art to me.

 

Have fun with the camera. If you haven't got one already it's worth investing in the cheap and cheerful 50mm 1.8 lens (canon and nikon both do one). Fantastic in low light, for portraits and detail shots.
