WOW!, Great show today by EVERYONE!!!

Now I'll drop the quality level down a notch by posting my feeble offerings!

Very cool work ........

Lowcab, Really like the texture and color of this .......

this 18 x 24 pencil rendering is up for sale $150 dollars plus shipping. it is double matted and framed in a nice glass frame, all of the money is going to first baptist church of Sapulpa you can email me at [email protected]

 

Jigger, Jigger, Jigger, Jigger.......I gotsta' axe yaz, why is the Pontiac losing to Mopar? That aint right!

Its a beautiful illustration....but I wish the Pontiac were in front.

 

It's accurate...

 

i love seeing progress pics and how it forms from start to finish. kinda like a build thread.

 

The Mopar lost already on a redlight 'cause he knew he couldn't win unless he left before the green...

 

agreed

 

Buick, now, you know I'm kinda a Pontiac guy... and you've captured a lot of launches, right?
Well, I'm also an optimist and a story teller. Every story has an antagonist, sometimes it's the author his or herself... but, in my book, the hero always wins...
Maybe, however, this story is still being written...

Thanks for your concern.
(Also, thanks to the helpful HAMBer who pointed out what a dolt I was along with the errors of my SD ways...problem solved.)


Thanks LowCab, I really like your work too.
Tons of killer work flowing in, too many to single out now.
Great work all!
Thanks to you who have left nice comments...

 

Yes he is!!!!!!!

 

Wow Allison!!! You've been busy!

here is a minature bomber seat i made to hold some business cards(the howies card is for size, i dont work there). i just threw it together out of some scrap aluminum and brass. still needs to be polished

 

BigNick! Love the celtic crosses! Heck, I like ALL your work!

 

Amongst other projects I've been reproducing electronic versions of lots of old Roach stuff, sometimes having to work from old catalogs - taking a 1 and 1/2" design and making a full size piece of art with all the color separations from it. Working from that small size to full size can be 'challenging' to say the least. I guess it helps that back in high school I used to copy Newt's art onto my book covers, etc. Seems ironic that 40 years later I'm kinda doing it again! On occasion Newt and Stan, one of the original owners of Roach, and I get together for lunch. It's very entertaining to listen to those two bring up names and stories from the heydays of Roth and Roach.

I haven't seen them yet but Brian says the proofs on shirts look great. Part of the reason for those prototype shirts having to be done is a bit of the process to get licenses from each of the car manufacturers, something that wasn't particularly necessary back in the day. They used to welcome 'free' advertising back then. I have no idea when the anticipated release dates are going to be.

Your newest post is another great piece as always. Love the technique you have. - Mike

 

Not sure if I'm doing this right(my computer skills suck) any opinions appreciated good or bad.This is my stripe box, done with oneshot,thanks.

 

Impressive art, as always. I can't figure how you get so much accomplished nor how it can always be of such high quality with the volume of pieces you turn out. My hat's off to you. Look forward to more postings in the future.

 

Roller derby helmet - Finkzilla #51
