Art & Inspiration Early Friday Art Show!!!!

Another great show!! Thanks to everyone for sharing their work. I really like the black and white images that Pacheco and Hidden produce. Here is one of my own in that style that I completed this week.

 

Hey Sonny Welcome!

I've seen a few of your peices here and there but this is the most I've ever seen in one place… Man you've got that "Rat Fink" stuff down!!! Great job!!!

I'm working on a Roth peice now… Maybe my last!?… ("never say never"…) I'm trying to get all that "Roth Clone" stuff out of my system… it's so much fun it's very addicting! (Not suggesting anyone else should, just what's right for me!) But I had my own style before I worked for him, so I want to get back to that! Besides with guy's like you out there keeping the torch lit in such a skilled way Ol' Rat Fink live's in good hands.

I had an Iwata once, cost me an arm and a leg to get, and then some dude dropped it and broke the tip off after I'd only used it a few times… and he wasn't good for it and the store I'd bought it from had gone belly up! So I went back to my trusty Paasshe's… me thinks I'll give Iwatta another try… What model do you use?

Again thanks for posting I realy enjoyed your stuff!

 

Heres an American Graffiti Merc toy that I did with a MACK 00.

 

Thanks eyebone I enjoy doing the Rat Fink stuff along with all my other art and models and sculpting, It's all a rush! I use an Iwata HP-BC and Iwata Eclipse and I too still have a couple of Passache VLs. Old school rules!

 

Your work looks great bro! I also love the old CARtoons and have been collecting the Trosley era issues (73ish til the end). I've also tried to scan all the covers of all my issues and the more interesting work inside them. The only problem I've got with CARtoons coming back out again is that all of my iron ons from the mags won't look quite so retro anymore!

So......yes I'd love to see them come out again!

 

Yo Sonny welcome aboard you`ll fit right in with some of us old fucks lol..........
As B.D.R. would say if the shoe don`t fit FINK IT.........................

 

The earlier tiki post made me want to do some tiki.

I did not want to be left out of the artshow for this week since I have been busy with cleanup after the hurricane.
So I had this little antique frame thing I picked up a while back for 50 cents and painted up this ditty this afternoon.



Great artwork as usual posted this week.

LOWCAB - Awesome you could show something this week! Dig those tikis.

 

OK, it's not a car but I hope it works anyway. I used a Canon Dial half-format camera, shot it on Tri-X film, wet-mount scanned it and printed it on some heavy cardboard. It's about 28" wide.

 

This is an old piece, I have to get off my ass.....

 

Isn't today the anniversary of Von Dutches death back in '92? Love him or hate him you can't deny the influence he had on car culture art.

 

Great!

 

We owe alot to Von Dutch.

 

that's awsome!!

 

Flying Eyeball / Homage to Von Dutch
Here's something I did back in about 1992.
My homage to Von Dutch.

The founding father of hot rod art.

 

If Von Dutch were alive today would he be on the hamb and what would his hambname be? Ken Howard? Metalsmith? What would his avatar be? the eyeball? The exterminator with the big hammer?

 

I'm guessing it would have been.... VonDutch

 

Salt!...
I luvs that salt!

Great show all.

 

That shits kick ass!

 

You guys are killin' me! Dang! What a fabulous show! Something old this week from me.

Hi again. I just finished this, which I'm hopefully going to put on a T-shirt



It's an Morris Minor Pickup

 

YES!
The very definition of cool!

 

Killer as usual guys!

Here are a few shirts I embroidered this week in prep for Goodguys & Duck Tails, see if I can push a few. Same designs, different colors.

Sweet work man!

Hey, you ever make any headway on that pinstriped skull digi-file I sent ya before ya got all flooded out...?

 

Great looking script.. Not as easy as it looks.

first post
sprayed a quick shirt for effect at a show.

 

VERY cool!!! Love to see the real thing. If there isn't one, there should be!

 

I doubt he'd even know about the HAMB and, after reading most of the books about him, I doubt he'd even care. I think curmudgeon would be one of the nicer titles he'd answer to. But, as far as I'm concerned, there's no denying his role as father of what we all kindly refer to as Kustom Kulture.

I owe him a great debt. He was a great talent and tops my list of the great characters of Hot Rodding.
