Art & Inspiration >>>> Friday Art Show, Jan. 18th, 2008 <<<<

Welcome to Motorama '67!

This is my entry for Art Challenge #5.

There's already some cool customs in that thread...
so check em out!

The original Scorpion was a coooool custom.
But to my eye, it didn't really look like a scorpion.
Soooooo... here's my entry with a stinger and an aircraft
landing light in its tail. With a mid-engine, pincher style fenders,
a tinted bubble and buckets of chrome The Scorpion is ready
for the car show circuit!!!

 

GaryC; You never cease to amaze me; Awesome!

Scott Irwin, "Congested" here on the HAMB, asked me to do a rendering of the Model A coupe he's in the process of building. The style of the drawing had to be reminiscent of the classic hot rod drawings by Gus Maanum (see Thread: "Early Hot Rod Sketches"). The drawing was meant to be part of a logo for the car club that Scott wants to formate around the Santa Cruz Ca. area; S.C.R.U. or Santa Cruz Rods Unlimited.

 

Likewise Dutch!
You nailed the Maanum style!!!

 

4 shades of 1-shot over a rippled pearl blue background.
Prism flake in the clear.



Auction piece in Grand Rapids.
Aqua,background is pearl blue over black.

 

Wow, I didn't realize it was Thursday already.

Here's a couple new ones from me.

"Hillbilly Rod" 8x10 Acrylic



"Monkey Rod" 8x10 Acrylic..

 

This is my earliest surviving car art.
I found it this week in my art storage files.
There were many many more but none earlier.

It's a '63 Split window Vette as a gasser.
I was obsessed with the 63 split window that I owned at the time.

By the way... I have it on good authority, that the Seattle grunge
band pirated my name... er, well might have,
actually could have but... OK.. DIDN'T!!!

Drawn in 1968. Pencil on yellow card stock.
Appx. 18" wide

 

Gary C and Dutch those look fantastic.
...Unkl Ian, as you're the first striper to post today and it was a famous striper that inspired my sketch, may I just say, I love your work. You, and so many talented brushes on this H.A.M.B. board would sure make 'em proud to be associated with you.

Here's one of my favorite cars, Dean Jeffries' '33 ('34?) Sedan. The car just sets so right. Not sure i did it justice as it's a quick sketch.
(P.S. What wheels would work better on it? Superiors maybe?)

 

I never post here but, I've been doing some stuff I think/hope you guys like. I'm currently working on a BA degree and applying for a BFA this spring in printmaking.

If you see something that looks familiar you might just be right. These prints were based off of photographs I took @ Street Rod Natls in Louisvill circa 2006.
I did a few different versions of this car, playing around with the color and using multiple plates/colors printed on top of eachother. The reason for the random abstract lines is due to the fact that I used a USED plate. New plate this size= $12, used plate = free








Self Portrait..


My 2nd oil painting:


Another painting:

The pictures don't due the pieces justice. My camera is crappy..

GREAT SHOW AS ALWAYS!! GaryC, you still rock. Sinclair,Tingler, Ubermustang and everyone else, superb as always. This is always my favorite part of Thursday! Just a short reminder and request for art contributions for our charity auction. (Last time) Here's a link to the flier. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p27/animaldaddy/flier2.jpg If anyone is interested, or has questions, shoot me an email at [email protected] or pm me here. All proceeds go to families with really sick or catastrophically injured kids to help with living expenses.

 

There's a crappy photo of a panel I just finished for the Scarlett Fever 2 charity auction...hopefully it'll bring in more than 20 bucks, it's for a damned good cause...

 

Another rush job. T shirt design for a nostalgia funny car. Front of shirt will just have the type. Main graphic (Shown) goes on the back.

Haven't posted in awhile as I don't usually take pictures of work anymore.Here's a bike I did last night.The clear still has to be applied.I just did the striping and the graphics;not the layout.The color combo actually works well.
Also two fenders from a bike Ed is working on for himself.The reason one is black and one is silver is because of the way the bike is two-toned.
Also a tank for a friend of mine in Massachusetts.

 

Also a work in progress for the Chicago show.

 

Love it, very Norman Rockwell, but in a good way...
