Art & Inspiration <<<< Friday Art Show 12/9/17 >>>>

Until I post my Christmas work, I'll be posting oldies ...........

 

G'day listeners...Sketched (rapidly) this Polara in pencil last Sunday. Colorized, & added S/S paraphenalia..

 

I mentioned to a guy that I would try to sketch a '51 Ford for the show. Computer crapped out on me so I spent most of the day trying to figure it out... no dice... so, here is what is on my phone for now...

 

My contribution.

 

Oye Steve-O!!!!

 

A quickie from me....

Sketch and painting " new for 57 "

 

A while back another HAMB(LiveActionMotorsports) member asked me if I could do a rendering of a project that he was thinking of doing that involved building a couple of work trucks for his business based on a Model 31 A pickup with a service style bed installed. I liked the look so much it prompted me to depict how it might look in and actual work setting being use as a emergency service vehicle . Got a flat tire or a dead battery on your hot rod or custom...No fear! 24 hour hot rod road service is here.

 

Tall track nose tiger "T".

 

Great start as always ! Here is a flathead powered 32 5/w of a HAMB member from Ct.

 

Nice show!
I´m trying to learn how to draw to get some of my mental images out of my head... So a couple of training-doodles from me...
The Merc is a three wheeled bubbletop, kind of a Messerschmitt. Still need to work on the proportions...

 

Hello,

Growing up reading the old Hot Rod plus Rod & Custom Magazines, scallops started my interest in flames. Scallops were what seemed like the beginning of flames. My trials on painting scallops on bikes and go carts ended in exasperation as the curved piping frames did not go well with the design. On paper, it looked fine, but on real stuff, a technique needed to be learned. The drawings seemed to get smaller and smaller…so I just looked at the 50’s hot rods with scallops in the car mags.

The side panels of model cars and flat surfaces were easier to draw than the curved panels. Kudos to the artists and car painters that get that great look every time. Here is the “Christmas Parade” themed hot rod(s).

A sedan delivery with full sight windows all around, chopped or not. No more blind spots for those long coastal trips.

 

Work in progress.

 

Look's like a kind of Mopar Friday

 

Is that a old lady in the driver's seat? She from Pasadena?

 

Just found this in a tube while looking for other things. Libbys Diner was/is located near Burlington, Vermont and gives out place mats for you to doodle on. This was mine back in '95 when we stopped after looking at a college for my oldest daughter. Felt guilty just commenting, so I will share this. Til next week, Carp

 

I finish truck diff fire place.
