Photoshopped out the background and tried to emulate salt (Ohio froozen wet snow)... on my list to re-do when I get some real salt flat pics)... meanwhile enjoy the carbs!

 

Some new stuff from me.
Trip to the Rockin Jalopy show in Holland last weekend.















And a shoot for Raydar Magazine. Sue and her lovely roadster and bike. Built by herself and Beanie of Buckland Automotive from a flat packed pile of crap, the A just rules.

 

I've been a lazy lurker for a while, trying to rectify that now. I decided to do a series of pen sketches combining photos I've taken at local car shows with photos I've taken of local architecture to see if I come up with any good ideas for paintings. Here's the first one;



Done quickly, straight to pen less than an hour so the proportions and perspective are far from accurate but if gives me an idea of the composition. Hopefully I'll have a couple of these to share every week, and eventually a painting!

Wow- Lovin' the show, this page's posts are crackin' good. Janne, the gouache suits the worthy subject with a super harmony.

It's early, 06:00 Sat. here, I'm about to go to an old wrecking yard. Oooh yeah!
For the last few hours it was too hot to sleep, so I messed with this Falcon again.
I promise not to post any more improvements!

 

Some stuff I did back in the '90s . Just some ideas for my Chevy C10 panel truck.

 

Great job to all of the artists and photographers this week!

 

...nice stuff guys, here's a few from me...

 

Really like this, they would have outsold the plain jane Ranchero

 

I really like these! I like how you gave the circle burner the feeling of being in the heat of action without fleshing out his competitors. The character in the welding truck is great.

Hood on my "63" Nova wagon.

 

Wow, super nice Mike, what method do you use for this stuff - software, hand drawn, or...? Nice to see you on the forum. Saw your truck in Welland, nicest AD yet.

 

simplely beautiful.

 

Ryzart....Been looking for years for inspiration for final paint on my '57 Ford..never thought I'd find it on a bike. Awesome design.

My humble contribution- My first tank mural circa 1977 for a friend based on a tattoo on his skinny arm. Done with lacquer paint, a little india ink and a badger single action airbrush.

 

Beautiful Del....Icarus?

 

Hey Tom, you have covered the Esky- (Australia) , Cooler -(U.S.A.), Chilly Bin- (New Zealand) any idea what they call one in Zambia?!!

 

Howdy dude. Well, I went to the wrecking yard & yanked some cool stuff.

So, I made this 'painting' in honour of the occasion..

 

Cool. Yeah, the Badger, with the lil' blue handle. My first 'brush.

 

Do they have beer to chill in Zambia?
