Art & Inspiration >>>>Friday Art Show 02/27/09<<<<<

What if...
What if Tucker had actually made it as a viable automobile manufacturer?
I would love to have seen it happen. Imagine a convertible... or a pickup...
or a woodie!

Here's my idea of what the 1949 Tucker Deluxe Sportwagon
might have looked like. I also made up an ad that might have
appeared in magazines of the time.

My Art Challenge 13 entry.

 

hey gary, super sweet. i really like the ad too.

heres a new one. 16x20

I'll go see what I can dig up....

And this one I did as a home page on my website that was just updated this week. Check it out at www.squindo.net
Stain on wood

 

Let 'er go.. twitchy & bitchy !
Just upped the res. on this Very raw copy ( must tweak little figures & details forward of firewall ). Can I say what you see here does not do justice to the original ?
This was drawn ( this week ) on a mouse; in Photoshop.
There's a bunch of folks here already that look like making this week's show another ripper. Very good stuff.
Time to kick back with wine, cheese & music ( some red, some blue & 'Some Kind of Blue'- Miles Davis. )

 

Great start to the show...you guys rule!

Here are some humble offerings from me to the art gods.

Some pinstriping I did on a couple of cars for the Mad Bombers club of Santa Maria.

 

Here we go....Happy Friday!

 

Great start as usual Gary C.!!!
Here's my latest pencil rendering... the "Tiki Star Fighter" It's a sweet 30 5 window from the Chicago area. I've seen this car at tons of local shows. Each time I gravitate to it, and shoot some pix. Finally put pencil to board.

Oh yeah....looks like it's gonna be another great show.

GaryC, Zombie, dragula, Squindo, Spoggie, dirtybird, forty - great work!

My piece for this weeks show is really a "practice" painting, using a B/W photo from the So-Cal Speed Shop book as a reference and giving it a little color. Cheers everyone.

Thanks 40! I dig that little roadster...

 

Early 60's Ross Thunderjet done up with Apes and WWW Goodyear Cordovan 24" tires. Spoked in a Sturmey 5-speed Internal hub for gearing and some NOS Red Stripe wheels with gold pins. Bobbed the rear fender. Frame, tank and guard are original as found.

Much thanks Forty.

Happy Friday everybody. here's some works in progress.

 

GaryC. - excellent, as usual. I dig the effort you put into presenting your work.
zombie - the flake on the bikes paint job is sweet. another incredible piece.
squindo - your stain on wood is crazy distinct and well done.

This one is RAD! It makes me think of Two Lane Blacktop.

 

When it rains on Friday's, it pours!
Zombie, Squindo, ubermustang and ewt2 ...wow!
