Art & Inspiration ///// Early Friday Artshow 7-31-08 \\\\\\

Love the way you have tackled those, Cheater Casey!

 

there is no better art than hotrod art

 

Great start to the show everyone. I feel like a real slacker lately. I've had nothing to contribute. the three panels I painted for Arties Party at the Syracuse Nationals came out great. Everyday I forgot the camera. I do have pics but they are from the guy who took them then made an album on photobucket. They are really small.

Ubermustang, fantastic as usual.

Some of you may have seen this before, but this oil portrait was just published in Communication Arts 2008 Illustration Annual, which I'm pretty happy about. It's a 24"X36" Oil painting of my junk man, Carlton Bate. He's been a HUGE help to me over the years collecting parts for my current hot rod project as well as a few more for the future. He's one of the few left of a dying breed that REALLY cares about old cars and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to identifying oddball loose parts and how to make things that weren't intended to fit together fit together... His yard is a treasure and so is he. He deserved to be immortalized in paint.

The other one is a little teaser detail of a work in progress of one of my favorite roadster... don't wanna give too much away on this one yet. The painting is already sold, but prints will be available when I finish it. It's got a ways to go yet; but will come together quickly once my coupe is on the road and I get back to work.

Clark,

Thanks, that is one sweet ride you have. I'd say that is about as elegant as a rod can get! It inspired me.

This is all original work that I have done. Rough Stock is a term used to describe cattle, bred for rodeo use. It's a bit wilder, and rougher. Like my work.
I use highend materials. Everything is American hand made.
Rough Stock is garaunteed to last, even after you've passed.

THE THUMBNAILS ARE CLIKABLE

 

I didn't do anything "motor" related this week so I thought I'd go back in the vault and pull a couple out from 1974. Note the fish scales and fogging, what was old is new again!. Sorry for the crappie photos but they were taken on one of Kodaks new pocket cameras with 110 film and the neg's were the size of an ants ass!!.

 

Sorry it's been a long week and i screwed up the picture post. Here is the 2nd picture of that "classic".

 

Killer work and a Killer truck...not sure if I like you anymore...no seriously that is some cool stuff and of course that truck is unreal...congrats on both

coming soon: rodtees.com

 

Franco, I'd love to do something of yours on a wallet or a jacket. I could never get the detail of lighting, but at least a Franco inspired piece.

 

Thanks Pat.

 

nice stuff as usual

 

great stuff guys
