allison awesome work ! not every day you see someone use a nash in there work

 

Gary, you are one imaginative sob. And I mean that in the BEST way possible.

 

heres some pinstriping from me

my 2nd time doin the ancor

something girlie

and a comissioned pit bull silver leaf in it

 

Great FAS already.....every one of you gets a gold star! I especially like the '57 mid-engined pickup, Gary. And, of course, BoMonster is my hero.

 

That is a car that needs to be built.. that blue 351 shoe.

 

Hope to get involved before the day is done but in the mean time:

Greta show so far...

Bo, love it. That's a lot of scratching but the pay off is worth it.
Bob, very nice imagery. Reminds me of watching Griffith Park burn from my office years back.
Gary C. that blue truck is insane, what a cool concept. The red one is deftly handled and deadly cool!
Zombie, HEY, this aint no muscle car forum boy! Speaking of deadly cool... I must repeat...
"Klunk!" had a 'Cuda V-8!
Jimmy B., that's a beaute!
Lemorris, can't get enough of this one.
Buick59, amazing work.
Spoggie, i like it. I like it a lot. (That was a great finish. glad they walked away form it.)
N.Ozols, really like this, too.
aceuh, nice snaps.
Jeff A.; great great work, ALL, bud, that shoe box is too cool.
JohnnyJ., the color work looks good, I like the change up in your palette on this one.
Chad, What can I say, the Chevy looks great but the ink on that second one is truly fantastic.
Jen, I don't know how ya do it but I sure am glad you do what you do. Great stuff.
anyone I missed, so far, thanks for contributing your talent to the coolest art show on the web.

....I'll be back...

 

rad!

 

Allison, chad, zombie, Jen your stuff is a total favorite of mine this week!

Here are the 6 poster I finished last week. They will be available at the HAMB DRAGS for purchase tomorrow. 18 x 28 inches. See you at the track!!!

 

i couldnt afford to buy one..so i painted my own sign....

tried to make it look like i pulled it off the side of an old service station..

 

I like it. Very cool. Just made myself a chalkboard for a "to do" list in garage with chalkboard paint. Am thinking of doing same thing you did for a sign also.

 

Sorry to be the big bad HAMBster CapnHooks- It's slaps on the back for '64 & earlier HOT rodding, a slap on the wrist for post '64 1/2 stuff..
..Guess that makes me hypocrite of the week for mentioning Marcus Ambrose kickin' butt at Watkins Glen..
Thanks Jigger; That's unforgettable race footage - a brutal last lap. A great example of how to win, with superior car control via masterful braking.

 

another fink rack,..and some tins...nice sign Mask !!

 

Killer art show so far.
Buick59, your photos are unbelievable man....WOW!!
Here are a couple I shot at Bonneville.

 

My daughter's chicken coop, painted on wafer board, ugh hard to paint on

 

This pinup I did for Greaserama 2011 has been changed around a bit in photoshop. Moved the calendar to the left side and changed a couple lines in the poem to refer to the space theme. The Day The Earth Stood Still was released on September 28, 1951 so the 28 is circled on the calendar.

The gasser is drawn in pencil on an old Roco Oil daily sales sheet that measures about 17 x 9.

 

WOW! You guys get up early, Beautiful work as always.

Well what I lack in talent I make up for in weird. Here is my donation for the silent auction at the drags this w/e. "Hot Rod" Roller Disco Baby!"

 

Terrific work everyone. Can't tell you how jealous I am seeing all the Bonneville photos lately. I've had a busy few weekends - and one of them was spent at the Hotrod Hayride. Really enjoyed myself - very friendly crowd and loads of fun stuff to draw. Here's a one off special built out of the most unlikely collection of parts...



The car at the bottom of this page is one of my favourites - turns out it lives not far from me and I have an invitation to do some more sketches of it...


Loved the stance of the pickup...


... and the proportions of this...


Some interesting midget racers there too...


Last of all here's a page of thumbnails which I've made into a print...


I also attended a Vintage event and saw this Model T based car - put together by the designer of the McLaren F1...


This one's not really a hotrod but it is fantastic - cyclecar chassis and a nice chunky aero engine, brilliant...


There are a few more sketches from both events on the blog&flickr and I'm hoping to get the photos up soon too. Hope you like them.

 

1320 Paul, your stuff is 100% HAMB. The first one's kinda scary- the 2nd. one (554) is some of the very best tone & line drawing I've seen here. Perfect, awesome skill..
Stefan, everyone loves the spiritual rightness of your work..

 

Great stuff! Here's a photo I worked and posted today at my site.

WOW......Great artwork here already, 7:08 am.....THANKS!

 

Stefan : this is so inspiring.
allison : Great style, I love your work.

 

Allison, and Stefan... Bookends of awesome this week.

here's a "what if" that i sketches after seeing a found "custom bodied" rod that a HAMBer unearthed. I wasn't crazy about the car, but the general proportions of it had a very early euro look... so i played with it.

The original car:


My idea:

(*full explanation of my logic on my blog)

 

All you guys (and gals) are phenominal!

Gary...love the concept and would love to have/build one....couldn't show it here if I did tho!

Allison....awesome message on the 1Shot can!

KC....Hope I have a shot on a couple of those posters. Can't make the drags!

Darin....Love...i say...love the "salty" shots. When you coming up my way?

Stefan....Before I got to your post I was wondering if you would post....hadn't seen much lately! Worth the wait!!!!

Dart....THAT'S the ticket!

 

Here is one I made!

 

Incredible array of cool and highly artistic talent on FAS today!

Here are a few from KKOA with both a color and B&W version

That is some awesome work!

 

i am huge fan of ambient light night work, and yours nails it. great stuff!!

 

Love that Metro. Did you come up with that, or is it based on a real car? It looks like what I often fantasized about doing to my '93 Escort hatchback.

That is a gorgeous photo. It makes me want a ‘58 Mercury.
