WOW!!!!...look forward to seeing you work every week. I don't think I could ever sit on these. I would just hang them up to admire every day!

 

It never ceases to amaze me that all this killer art can be seen so easily, and the inspiration I get from it all. Not enuff room to point out my faves, but you know who you are! Heres an updated oldie, I call it 151

 

Great work everyone!

Myself and fellow striper 'matchstick' started this earlier in the year and I just finished it.

 

Way Sweeeet Stuff start to finish this week!! Gotta say the metal guys drilled it this round though [pun coincidental].

Lockwasher, Ingenious to say the least! Fun stuff! Especially the trailer!

NCJamey, Holy Crap Dude! Friggin' Righteous! ...you're not actually gonna let somebody SIT on that piece of art are you?!

 

This is my first art show contribution. I just got back to this piece after starting it 15 years ago! It's called
"The Camper Special"

 

Lockwasher....I sure dig all the cool stuff you build. You have such killer vision of how to put odds n end and pieces and parts to make up really awesome sculptures.

 

Had a amazing 2011 cant wait to take my photography to another level in 2012. Thanks to people like Norwell,Weesner,Tim Sutton, and all the other great artists on here for all the inspiration

NotStockPhoto- John, what a beautiful piece of work! Damn proud seeing your work in all my fave mags! Hope to see you at Detroit Autorama, man! Happy New Year.

 

Great work guys. i love these posts. I have a quick question. I am really getting the bug to "Paint" lately. I am not really an artist but gave it a shot anyway. I painted a picture for my Wife for Christmas. It was a copy of a Weesner T shirt design.

The Question. Is that Legal??? I know that in my house it is not a big deal and I would never try to sell it or take any credit for it. I didnt trace it just looked at the picture and painted away????

I am mostly asking because A. I would like to show everyone so that I could have some constructive criticism but B. becasue Bomonster just had a bunch of his work ripped off. I dont want to have Weesner angry with me for painting his work. but I loved the piece and it inspired me to put brush on canvas.

Any thoughts?

 

Awesome , man you are good with that bead roller.

I'll Bet You Laminated Back Then

 

I have done a few sculptures of other artist work I always ask permission to post ,and always give them credit via (blog,website and forums you post on) after all it is there idea and also has more people look at there works as well as your's.Great that you posted this it shows you have respect for the artist here. I would email him and ask.Dave hope this helps

 

I think(not very often) that weez gets inspired by some artists in his past,he probably wasnt always great,maybe he was,but that artist got inspired by someone else,but people do come down on you if your work even has a 'Weezish' background.Spoggie got a rash for that and he's a great artist with his own style.I have nothing but respect for these guys,and you might catch hell for it but I'd post it, your new to art,just tryin it out,if you want feedback that be a good way to do it!Maybe you should ask Weez, hes probably checkin the art show anyway.

 

First thing I want to say is thank you to all the artists that post up here. I get so inspired every week looking at the friday art show.

I Finally finished the painting of the 68 ford truck last week! It measures at 48x60 and done in acrylic. I've posted progress of this painting over the last year or so as Ive been working on it. Im glad to say this will be the last post for this work.

Thanks again to all the great artists.

Me and my brother usually make drawings for eachother for christmas (yes, we are older than 8 years), this year he got this photoshop-messaround of an old, rusty Stromberg.

Thank you all for all the inspiraton during 2011. I hope I will have more to post during 2012. Happy new year guys and gals!

 

Slamit. According to swedish law that might be copying, (without having seen the original and the copy), but it may as well be that you were "inspired" by Weezeners original. I'd ask him if he'd mind before posting. After all this is his job.

I did a T-shirt for the norwegian Chrysler Club a couple of years back. The swedish Chrysler Club liked it so much that they had their own made up and even if it was nothing like a copy it was clearly inspired of my work. Of course, me being a car nut I happened to come across it and they quite shamefully asked if I did mind what they had done.
I was flattered.

 

Nice show guys! heres my 2 cents. a imac, a melted helmet, and a canvis peice i started on wed.
Have a killer new year all!

 

wow-beutiful!!!!!!!! I'm sure youll hear that alot
