Art & Inspiration ---<<<///||| Friday Art Show |||\\\>>>---

I do not post on here much here are a couple helmets i painted for my buddy Primo's helmet design's booth at Born Free 5..... all 1shot and all brush

 

Thanks for the compliment! By the way, you are a MASTER with your pencil compositions! You are a very accomplished artist! The latest stuff that I'm putting on are digitally-enhancement of my photographs. Just taking a break from painting and drawing!

 

Mind blowing, Steve!! I love it..

 

Excellent, Bob! I have actually photographed the 36 in the front a couple of times.

 

Havent posted in a bit.. Heres my meager offering...

 

Thanks for the compliment!! I'm just the opposite. After almost 30 years of hand lettering and striping I've been doing more digital work. I needed to get back into some hands on artsy stuff. This is only my second piece I've done in pencil. Thanks again.

 

Some recent images....

Great stuff, Bill - especially this one. Hope you are doing great.

 

Dig your style...

 

Love the highlights...Looking forward to posts from the KKOA Leadsled Spectacular

 

Good show as usual.

This is a '65 Impala that has been in the same family since new.

 

N.Ozols-that first pic/sketch/whatever is so good. Captures the look and feel of hot rods, I think. Simple and clean, moving while standing still.
Clydsdale- love the burro with the grille shell and dice.
As always, thanks to all of you for sharing your talents.

 

Great photos....

Choptop - I like it, too.

I didn't even know there was such a thing as "traditional tiki." I suspect it's just an empty noise used by a noncreative to provide the illusion of knowledge and importance. "We have rules, you know, bla blah." Well, I don't, I have artistic license. So, go over there with your absinthe and your cholera and argue with your mates about the merits of this exciting new steam technology, and leave me be.

Okay, rant over. Now, here's some art.





"Ah, here comes a good wave. Time for a bit of fun."

 

Hey thanks guys!!! Killer stuff today..... Varin-Maeus, completely agree when it comes to the traditional tiki people!
