Art & Inspiration ***It´s FRIDAY ART SHOW***

Rocky Jr, I really like the crispness of your lines. Gives me something to shoot for. Very nice.

 

WOOHOO! I'll post the other side of the great art barter in a little while

 

1-shot: if you would sell that, i would buy it. that is effing cool

 

I haven't posted on Friday Art Show for a while, so here goes. This is one I finished just recently, for myself, in between customer jobs. This is how I'm hoping my '38 Deluxe will look when its finished.

 

TBonz, I love your striping style, especially the black T shirt... classic lines! The rest of you guys are great too!

 

all great stuff!! Cory. i was diggin that nightmare truck in teh original post realy lovin what you've done to it. makes me want to start another project i'll never finish .

YnotaYblock. LOVE that thing. i've had the original sketch as my background since you first posted it. i'm AMAZED at what you did to it since then. wish i knew how that photshop stuff worked. might have to learn...if i get time.

 

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would show off a render of a 40 merc I have been working on. Its not done, but here it is in the first stage...

 

A couple from this week:
The finished panel.
A 1915 Overland
A 1908 Buick I did a couple weeks ago.

 

Kookie, Kookie lend me your... car!
Lots of you will remember 77 Sunset Strip.
I think that it was the first TV show that actually
featured a hot rod. What a hot rod it was!
Norm Grabowski built it and it was every guys
idea of cool.

 

my new laptop


some bling for the kitchen

 

How about a side shot of the tank?

 

Wow I love the rocker panel treatment on the yeller coupe.

 

O/T subject matter, I know... but I do hot rod stuff so little, I'd never get to show off.

He was born in the fifties, does that count?
Cell phone pictures, sorry.




Continue with your regularly scheduled fine programming, everything looks great so far... I love the art show!

 

Messing with photoshop, trying to find a believable metalflake look, the simple shape looked like a piece of Zodiac, so I put some stiches in it and cut out one of my stickers from a real pic and stuck it on top.

 

killer stuff from everyone!

Hey gang -

Just a quick note to say thanks to those of you who have contacted me and offered to submit artwork for the HAMB Drags Silent Auction. Looks like we may have to reserve a special section just for artwork this year.

If you haven't done so yet, there's still time to contribute. Some VERY cool stuff has shown up - or been pledged and is on the way - but we can use somemore.

If you can't make it to Joplin/Mokan, all it takes is to choose something you have on hand, package it up securely (don't worry about mounting or framing), and toss it in the mail. This is a great chance to show off your talent and help out the HAMB too.

If possible, it would really help to have your stuff by the 20th, or so, as I have lots of swag to get ready for display.

Once again, my address is:

Stan Weber
P.O. Box 81
Firth, NE 68358

Remember, all donors will get a souvenier pin and their names will go into the exclusive drawing (auction donors and helpers only) for an original "Big Sounds of the Drags" record album.

P.S. If you do send something, its really a nice touch to hand sign your art and maybe add a note saying "HAMB Drags 2007", etc. That helps make your art even more desireable.

Thanks in advance for your generosity to the HAMB. If you have any questions, just PM me.

 

here's rocky's wagon



for bustedlifter (pre-stripe)



greg, that stone is incredible.. the family should be proud.

 

Not sure about this one yet. I am trying to make stuff even looser than previous work. I will probably go back into it a little, but thought I would post anyway.

 

Here's what I've been working on:

First is a sketch of what I might do to the old Falcon this winter



This is one of a set of stools we bought from Target for the home office. This one needed a new lever, and then I decided it needed flames too.



Last is a color study I did while on vacation recently. Kinda flame-like.

 

Had some older stuff on display at a fair, not the greatest shots, but, hey, I'm in the art show !!!

 

Thank you.
