Art & Inspiration ===== Friday Art Show 6/24/2011 =====

LAST one.. Just new print

 

First off i want to say that I look forward to every friday because of this thread! I have been lurking for sometime now and you all have truly inspired me to try new things. I'm a Graphic Artist for a sports store screen printing division so none of my day-to-day stuff applies here but as I said you guys made me try something I never would have thought to try.....

So here goes....

I tried pin striping for the first time ever!!! And man I need a lot more work!!

Here is the first tries.




Nick

 

WOW!! Very Cool!! Love it!!

 

Awesome work in here as usual!!

Ya gotta start somewhere man! Looks like you're off to a good start. Keep practicing and have fun with it.

 

Once again you all have out done yourselves...amazing artwork as usual.
The h.a.m.b. RULES!

 

I don't have anything new to share, but here's my holiday card for this past year...



I print a bunch to send to clients and friends/family.

I used to go to Kinko's, get b/w copies made on heavy cardstock and hand color each card. That was back when I had around 45-55 to send out. Not enough time to do that anymore...hehe.

 

The fact that you want to try says alot! Most would not get as far as you did!

All I can say is practice is the best thing you can do....that, and pick up a good pinstriping how-to- book....I like Alan Johnson's, but there's several really good books to learn from.

Oh...and then practice some more!

 

Thanks guys it means a lot coming from people on here. I was really scared to try this but I completely understand it's gonna take time and practice! I've been watching a ton of youtube videos and reading a bunch of how-to's to educate my self on this but in the end it's all about practice!

Make absollutely sure you are using 1 Shot or other striping paint and a good striping sword (Mack, Excallibur, etc). Anything else will just aggrevate you beyond belief.

Oh, and practice!

 

A bit OT this week, hope you guys don't mind

 

57 Corvette ~ Bob - too cool for words!!!

Gary - Killer car & illustration!!!

BOMONSTER - awesome as always!!!

Jimmy B, hotrd32, hotrodpodo, chaddilac, TINGLER, Jigger, Hot Rod Dirty's, notrod13. and others - excellent stuff!!!

 

Yes I have One Shot paint and I picked up a couple of Mack brushes. I do want to try one of Steve Kafka's brushes ( I think it's the #3) but I can't find them locally so I'll have to order it.

THAT IS AWESOME !!!!!

 

That's far out! pardon me, I was just having a flashback into the 70's. Your art reminds me of the 70's "mod" style artwork found in Mopar ads. Maybe you found your niche, run with it.

 

Amazing talent. Around the world. Always inspirational, Always. Thanks, Slim

I like Boobs....Who doesn't like boobs?

 

Cheap clocks from Ikea, good practice.

 

Amazing. I have never been that good at found object sculpture. You are inspiring me to try harder.
