Art & Inspiration >>>>>Friday Art Show<<<<<<Lets get this party started!

Didnt see a Friday Art Show post yet...SO...Lets get this party started!

My first start to the Big show!

I am doing drawings of all my Dads cars. Heres his 60' Starliner.

 

That's because it's Wednesday.

 

That's what I was thinkin'

 

Ya, my trigger finger hit it a second to soon! I wanted it to be 12:00 straight up! Unfortunately my computer clock is 1 minute ahead!

 

You do know we start these on Thursday now...don't you?

 

No. The Friday art show is on Friday. The early Friday art show is Thursday....

 

Nice work fortypickup!

Early or not here is what I did this week. It's a storyboard style piece of a Hot Rod race gone bad...

definitely a Robt. Williams influence on this one...I had planned to add another panel but I ran out of time as it was an assignment for a class...

 

It's those fellas down under that start it on Thursday here 'cause to them it's Friday.

 

i tagged this one on the end of last weeks as it was disappearing into obscurity

prismacolor sketch of the Duke of Wellington and his new steed....poster size

 

I just got done with the clear coat on these and just in time for billetproof guys.
Brother Rat Fink knob.....



Rat Fink Knob.....



Dum Dum Tiki Knob......

 

great as always so far... I always forget to snap photos before I ship them out. Maybe if Flat-top Bob or Detoxdts reads this they will snap a shot of what they got from me.

I'm a bum.

 

...here's a panel from the Brush Rush North ..and the only pic I got of the "gang stripe " car, I did the tire cover, Herb Martinez did the trunk. .and my clock, ..it's 2 layers of glass about an inch apart and for the pendulum I used an old stripin' brush

 

We had some cars at Scarlett Fever too....

 

Here's something from a photo I took earlier this week (posted in the Wednesday photo show). I wanted to do a "say it, don't spray it" style Flathead t-shirt design for those in the know. This is in the design stage right now, but I could go to print soon on it.



lemme know what you think.

 

awesome, I want it.

 

I love this. Don't know that the "8BA" is even needed though. I'd buy one if it was offered on something other than a black or white shirt.

"Agua Bomba"

 

Yep. Just giving you a hard time.

 

Great start for the art show fortypickup, always like your work.!1-shot slinger, I like that stuff , nice display. Jigger, the 58 is getting nice.Surfmonkey, always like what you do, prismicolors are FUN!
Well, I just got finished with this at 3 o'clock this morning so I could feel good about myself this week. The Trendero was always a favorite of mine since I was a kid. I use to trace it right out of the Car Craft it was in in the 60's when I would get bored at granny's house when she use to babysit me! It was a challenge , and I.m sure some details are off, but I did my best. When you draw it , you start to appreciate what the original builder's intention was no matter how wacky. Hey Moriarity, I decided to do it yellow and I hope you like it. I wish the pic was a little better.
The other pic is of a car I saw in one of my little east coast mags of a combo of a 53 Studebaker front clip joined with a 59 ElCamino quarters and rear end. The one in the article, can't find it right now, is kinda ugly , but what a concept. Would make a neat model car if nothing else. I can smell the glue now!
Well , thats all I got this week, next week is Ranchero week for me, got something crazy lined up.

Mr. Norwell, looks like you're getting the hang of this whole drawing thing! (I want to be you when I grow up)
customcory, I've always dug the Trendero... so much cool stuff going on with that car... I recall they found it some years back... never heard much since...
himjively, cool to see your stuff again!! I love these!

Here's my other Art Challenge piece (had next to no time, so a rear view's all I got...) Lotsa 'flake and whatnot...


...and not sure if this is a re-post (sorry if it is...), but here's a Starliner... got all swept up in the excitement seeing Kirks amazing ride...

 

As a reply to CustomCory: The Trendero that I drew for my Colouringbook. As far as I can see you got all the details spot on. Im looking forward to seeing more Rancheros from your hand!

Whidewhitewalls - I like it!
Timebombcustoms - Really cool, particularly the Tiki!
Surf Monkey - Fantastic!
Fortypickup - Nice use of the colour!
Himjivey - My 5-year old is working with a print of your lowrider right now!
Flying pollock - Suddenly I seem to like lowriders…
Nice job all of you!

 

"T" is served.
Kandy Marigold Orange on a '25 T is a tasty brew.

This one was inspired by a car that was featured
in "Rodding and Restyling" in July of 1960. The original
was owned and built by a fellow named Richard Andre
of Santa Cruz, CA. Mr. Andre did the build which started
out as a coupe and Gene Winfield did the paint!

Richard Andre, if you're still out there,
this one is dedicated to you.

 

ok heres what i got!!!

the "aluminum leaf" skull panel and GMC is what i did at performance world..

the other two panels are some of my dashboard plaques i do...neat way to tell people not to touch your car..

 

99% done, new t-shirt art from my old pal,ALLISON !

 

Here's a drawing for a new piece I'm working on...I suck at drawing people.



Also, I posted this one last week (it's called 'Sunday Afternoon') and there was some interest in prints...well I've got some and will post a classified soon - size is 10x20".



Great show this week everyone!
