Art & Inspiration ##Hunk O Burning Love Friday Show!##

Great stuff, Joel! Is this a Viking?
How are the Pileup signs coming along?

 

Dave, those are amazing, great Job!

My daughter (9) and I are racing pinewood derby cars on Sat. night for the first time for an event put on by the all girl car club from S.F. named Hells Belles @ the Shooting Gallery this weekend.

Here's our cars, mine's not done yet and she still needs to apply her racing #'s to the car ...gotta get 'er done today!

she named her car..."Road Rage".



There's also an artshow/charity/silent auction @ the Shooting Gallery in S.F. as well that night to benefit the womens and children center and here's my donation to the cause



great show everyone!
Zombie, love the flake on that art piece

 

ok heres some more stuff i have done....

as im new...

 

Thanks for the compliment!

Your cars are comming along nicely, one word of advice though - ditch those axles!!! Those one piece axles with the plastic hub caps are the absolute slowest for Pinewood racing! Go to your local hobby store and get a set of the nail type axles, then polish them up really good and don't forget the graphite! I promise it will be worth the extra effort.

Nice Job on your cars & good luck at the races!!!

WELCOME!! great stuff, thanks for sharing!

 

I sit here with my jaw to the floor looking at this stuff every Friday. Best of the best.

 

whoa

 

Gary, this is killer! Zombie, that's rocks as well, groovy man!

 

holy crap someone get a hose I think the artshow is on fire.. hahahaha

 

I cannot believe the level of work coming out of these art shows. It is nothing short of incredible. Everyone does amazing stuff and has a unique style. It's cool when you can just see somebody piece and say "yeah thats definitely Norwell". The diversity of pieces while working with the same subject blows my mind. No one is stepping on each others toes. Keep this going.

 

Should I make some more stickers? these would be 4.25"

 

good way of putting it... you got my vote jeffreyjames

lots of cool stuff posted here...
beers for everyone!
it seems like its the "norwell art show" - great work

i'm currently drawing a '57 bel-aire - posting soon but here
is my 2cents worth for today - oldies but goodies...

 

welcome to the party "mask" and mezzo
the frost free is hot

the pinewood derby stuff is just too kool
we need to start a pinewood thread, (hint,hint guys)

 

mezzo-- that's some pretty cool stuff... cool website too. Are you using Corel Painter?

 

I can't add anything that hasn't already been said...wow!

 

slide -- thanks man..appreciate it...
its just a hobby but it keeps the "hamster wheel spinning"
if your on the website again, check out my process page to see the "in progress" shots of the cars...
all the art is done on a PC in painter9.5 with a drawing tablet.
i only use photoshop to make the layouts to "present" the art...
hope it helps, anything else - just ask...

 

mezzo-- I did see the in-progress stuff... that's real cool. And welcome to the HAMB!

I can't live without my Wacom tablets.

 

Mezzo

damn.

Glad you joined in.



You talk about using Photoshop as if it's shameful....Dude - art is art, if you had no talent you'd "eff" it up no matter what medium you use.....


I believe you could rock whatever you want to. It's just a matter of getting comfortable with something.

My art teachers all told me I would make a legendary airbrush artist. Oddly I've never done a single airbrush painting. Just couldn't get past the learning curve - so I never tried. Just give me some graphite and a piece of paper thanks....

And now that I am doing CAD stuff - I feel like I could do so much better with a PC than a set of pencils.


No shame!



...

 

Good to see you posting here! ....was it my guilt-ridden email?

Mezzo--- your work is just amazingly clean and well done... Welcome to the party!

FANTASTIC show this week, everyone!!

 

haha, many people have told me about it.....lets face it im kinda lazy.....but i will try to keep posting some work every week...

in 2 weeks ill be in Calgary for the tattoo/hotrod show...should be a good one....the Pizz and Doug DoRr will be there too.

 

I love fridays

Pop's Monte Carlo

 

broman--
i think my gearbox is jammed (no pun intended)
i didnt mean using photoshop is wrong - its a great program & your right - art is art... i dont believe in "labeling" art
i'm a beachbum/newly baptized gearhead and long time listener to classic rock - clapton, zz top, allman brothers, eagles, zeppelin, sorry i'm rambling, and your right...

art is art, no matter what tools you use... bottom line...
its not about the destination, but the ride to get there
i just wanted to give proper credit to "painter" cause thats what i use to do my digital art... see its all good... no offense to the photoshop users out there.

hope that clears it up...
and glad to join the HAMB

and yeah slide, those wacoms are the only thing to live by...
besides beer, cars, music, & women (no particular order)

 

Great show as always! Lots of talent! Heres a pinewood I did when I was younger. I put "Roy" above the drivers door. I dont know why, I never knew a Roy. I think I just thought it sounded cool, lol

 

Hey I will be in Calgary too!! oh wait , thats cause I live here.

Anyone coming to the show look for the tiki carvings and stop by the Plan B booth and say hello.

Good to see ya on here Mask

 

Holy smokes... Did you carve that 32 body?... The detail in the body lines and the window revels are unreal!

Dave Brisco

 

wow killer show everybody her is what i did this week

 

Man, next week I really would like to post something. I just have to get some time to start drawing again. I just bought a new iMac a couple days ago so I hope that gives me a shot is the ass to do something for these threads. "MEZZO" looks like you are getting a bunch of good feedback and it is all well deserved buddie. In fact let me say it again. Everybody's stuff looks really good. As for me I also could not live without my Wacom tablet....well I guess I could if the other end was hooked up to a PC and not a Mac. Just Kidding. Great Job Guys!

 

AWESOME SHOW GUYS!!!

Rocky the gift you striped is great...really lucky kid!

Here is what I did a couple weeks ago and just got pictures back today. Just a little Honda I striped.

 

Mezzo, KILLER STUFFS!!!
Zombie, Flyin'P, Monster, Nate---
Ya know, it's page 6 and there's just way too many people giving us there best to mention. I love when Norwell kicks things off with a bang! The stripe work is all so inspiring, and on, and on... ( Gas can's a real kick!)

So I couldn't let the day pass without a post of my own.

Here's a little brain storm quicky I whooped up as an idea for a future piece,...rough and ready.

I call it "New Ideas for Old Tin."
