Art & Inspiration ---Friday Art Show 11-18-2011---

Here's my '57 Ford custom!

 

And here's my '32 Tudor!

 

Great to see some new techniques and styles - Striper, I hope to see more of your proper paintings - same goes for dankyd. Must visit the Peterson museum one day and I love that Impala photo too. I haven't had much time to sketch lately as I've joined the Bloodhound Land Speed Record Team as their film-maker - there should be some interesting stuff to sketch when they start putting it together next year. Can't tell you how excited I am to be part of one of these historic attempts. Mind boggling numbers too... 47,000lbs thrust, 0-1000mph 41 sec...

Anyway, back to old oily engines. Here's some bike motors waiting to be restored and fitted back into frames...

I'm still enjoying sketching with the iPad. Here's a quick one of a great old steam car...

I also used it to rework one of my pencil sketches from the Hayride...

I was delighted to be asked to do a design for the HAMB Drags. However, once I actually started on it I realised how difficult a good T-shirt design is to do. This was the best I could come up with - sadly it wasn't quite good enough - I think it perhaps came out looking a bit too much like a kids t-shirt. Ah well, I'll try again some time.

Last of all, here's one from today. I took the morning off to do some sketching. This 1927 Harley took me three hours - I enjoyed every minute...

Hope you like them, keep up the good work everyone.

 

Here's a Chevy Gasser for ya!

 

Thanks for the compliments... I emailed about wanting to become a HAMB alliance vendor, hopefully I will hear back soon so I can get you guys Christmas discounts!!!

 

Completely forgot, I took quite a few photos at the Prescott Autumn Classic. Here's a few favourites...










Right that's enough from me. If you'd like to see more there's loads on the flickr site

 

You are a genius! Awesome!

 

Great show this week everyone,I love fridays on the HAMB!...I have not posted in a while so I am about to do a photo dumb









And I did this for Hamber Hank Turd at the pile up,stand up guy and great work!

 

Awesome work, i'd love to know how to spray that metal flake paint - i'd cover everything in it

 

These are some prints I did that started out with white backgrounds and I did candy colors, flakes, and pearls with translucents over them.

 

I really like this a lot!

 

amazing work!

 

Here's something I created for a client about a month ago. Gotta love those vintage Sunoco gas pumps and the early 40's Service station.

The original art is 20"x24".

 

In the late 80's a friend of mine drew these. The 53 was my Wife's car. The Merc was his version of Bud Millard's, Balion built 50.

 

You've done it again Larry..................Stunning!

 

Thanks Centurion9, Scott and Todd!

A perfect world would be one in which I could just 'toon all day!

 

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!

 

Unique style. Come back with more.

 

There's so many amazing pieces here today.

The marker renderings rule, illustrations are tops and the paintings are just wow.

Sorry don't know how to quote everyone's work but wow.

 

First off let me say there are some GREAT Artists (of all formats) on this forum. I have often looked but never posted anything in this section. (and probably shouldent) But I thought I would this time just to see what all of you think.
