Art & Inspiration >>>> Friday Art Show 7/24/09 <<<<

Please don't kill me...

First off, I have never posted in one of the art threads as I lack the talent of most of the amazing artists on this board.

A little backstory for you. Over the last three weeks my trash cans have been removed by my trash company. Seems that my neighbor across the street has decided to no longer pay his bill. Instead of taking his cans, they take mine. The first time, okay, I understand a technical error on there side. Two weeks later and it happens again. I call and complain that this is verging on harassment, "oh no sir, we would never do that"... I ask if it is OK to paint my house numbers on the cans so this does not happen again.?

The customer agent said "Yes, sir. Spray paint, markers, what ever you want!"

I think that was the wrong thing to say to a hot rodder and customizer.

So here is the start of what I have done.



When I get some more time I think I will mask them up and add some heavily flaked scallops and flames.

What do you think so far? PS, I haven't picked up a Mack brush in a couple of years and half of my one shot looks like clay pucks.

 

THREE large garbarge cans??? I guess 'ol California isn'tkidding when they want folks to recycle huh?

Numbers look good, I've just got huge black spraybombed X's on mine

 

Way too early... Norwell will shut it down....

 

Still too early???

I've been busy.......
Tuesday striped the helmets for a guy who buys old ones and resprays 'em and relines 'em...way cool!

Yesterday was an all nighter striping the fresh flames on a '33 3W.....getting the car ready for this weekends Goodguys show.

 

Well, it's friday and I thought I'd start the Friday art show. I hope that's OK ....Let's see a lot of your amazing work ....

This is what I have for this week .... Hope you enjoy them.

 

Here are a couple new small paintings I did for the King of Clubs show at the Barona Drag strip in San Diego this Saturday.

Hey,

All I got is a freebee I did for my Wife's Relay for Life Cancer Walk team.

Not Sure if it's HAMB appropriate, but it's shiney and I got distracted.

Eat your heart out Mary Kay!

This is a "PENCIL RENDERING" of a 53' Chevy Grille that I took at World of Wheels in Indy this spring. This was challenging for how close up I made it. Hope all enjoy. Tell me what you think.

This car is nicknamed "Lil Darlin"
