Art & Inspiration >>>>>>> Friday Art Show 05/29/09 <<<<<<

Not quite HAMB as usual but here's about the only recent thing I can show, it's a rendering for a guy who's building a 1971 Holden Torana with a huge inch big block

Another incredible Friday. What a way to end the week looking at all this incredible art. There's a lot of awesome work and too many to list.
Here's my offering this week.

 

Heres another pretty cool thing I did a couple days ago

 

Hey! Great work by everyone! Ive been kinda busy doin stuff, but heres a few things Ive recently finished. Look for the full version of the bottom artwork in your favorite car mag soon!
Cheers!

 

Damn....another amazing show! Thanks for the comments. Acrochicken, you look like you been busy!! Norwell, I'm blown away as usual!!

 

Guys! Guys! I almost missed the "Art Show" today. I was in the garage all day under the hood of my '63 Ford with a great mechanic, sorting out the wiring, examining spark plugs and trying to tame a too-big carburetor. So, after last Friday's art show, I started a new drawing, using Adobe Illustrator (only). It's a difficult, vector-based program that I've been trying to master since 1994 with v.1.1. So, enough words from me. Give me some feedback. I still need to "speed" up the background. . .

 

[ewt2,

great start on this rendering, reminds me of some of the things we had to do at Art Center a long time ago; it requires an awful lot of concentration to produce a real clean pencil rendering, and very little room for error,I salute you. Hope it finishes as nice as it has started.
Waldo














QUOTE=ewt2;3968324]Here's a bad photo of what I'm working on today! It's a pencil drawing of a 41 Plymouth Tail-Dragger...
time ago. There really is a high level of concentration necessary to do a real clean pencil rendering like this, I salute you!John 'Waldo'G.

Jeez I kind of feel guilty posting this POS after all the Kick Ass work here!

Norwell...I was saying to myself yesterday...when is the next Norwell flood! Nice work! Love the Buzzard Bomb!

Welcome 57 Corvette...nice to see you on board!

Great work all!

PS...Gary...WOW

 

Thanks fortypickup, appreciate the welcome. Looks like your Mustang is going to win the Hot Rodders contest this month .... great work.

 

Well I have been busy and I hope this is ok for posting

 

It's OK with me....but I'm nobody!

 

great work fellas

 

Nice work Lockwood

 

Juan;
Thanks for the article in Deadend magazine [ a lot of fine stuff in there as always] I feel honored to be included among the people featured in that magazine . Keep up the good work, you and Jesus really amaze me ,bustin' your asses to produce a fine on line magazine just the two of you! waldo

 

it's more than ok, man it's fuckin' great, keep up the good work and keep posting it . It is great to see something different and original to go along with all the traditional hot rod stuff we see here; it compliments the other artwork nicely, in my opinion[ which doesn't count ahell of a lot] ,

Now that I've posted a quickie, let me say:

"Stranger In Town" man, wish I could "hear" this painting too.

"'65 426 Race Hemi" - can't get enough cross-sections. I have tubes full of Dave Kimball's.

"Kustom Kosmic Kowboy" If that's Wacom technique, do I see a hint of metalflake?!? WOW!

Britt8M, Can "hot dog girl" take a few steps this way or that?

Acrochicken, dig the chics, but seeing that bike at speed, storm clouds rollin in... extra WOW!

Palat, question: Is the '53 3D modelling or a Photoshop cut-out?

MindsEye, is your '56 Merc, like markers or Wacom? Impossible to tell anymore! (until I get to know ya'lls' styles)

WhateverWeber, Very believable deep, black, paint!

Clysdale, this art you do is so new to me; the cross with the skeleton couple, I stopped and stared for quite awhile.

ewt2, man, those black&whites are sweet and crisp. Film or digital?

Acrochicken, the slammed Imp is really well done (technically, too)

Buzznut, always enjoy seeing type-setting balanced with a car correctly (Rustmonkey Garage)

Squindo, man your style /technique is satisfying and unique.

57 Corvette ~ Bob, I'm new here too. You've photo'd some cars that'd be tough to not get right. It's the backgrounds that catch my eyes!

Bass! 3 days of block-sanding! I've been away from the spray booth too long. That's beautiful.

jjrodder, I like this technique in Photoshop, where I work backwards from a photo to find art.

Steve V, I had to stop and look up a '71 Holden Torana and your rendering is a killer revision!

fortypickup, tremendous, simple background. I kept waiting for a slide show to start up.

and all the pinstripers on H.A.M.B, men that's tremendous skill. And the sculpting is so far beyond me. Thanks for sharing G.A.N.G. Looks like Friday's over in just 30 minutes. Call it a day!

 

On the one day I don't wear my Vans to work.... very cool

 

Onearmbandit, your striping is amazing!

 

Wish I could explain this

 

i finally stepped into the 21st century - just bought a wacom tablet thisafternoon. sweet!!

 

Yeah I agree... spent way too much time checking it out the other day...

Great stuff this week guys; all of you!

 

Clysdale-that rocks-did you do album art for Mescallero?

 

Saturday morning coffee and the Friday art thread has become one of my favorite traditions. There are just too many compliments to hand out so my hats off to all of you.

 

Hey Sambo, Thanks! ...and I wish I could say yes but that is not my work on the album cover. That would be a sweet gig to land!

 

Damn, What a FAS! I tore up a knee, been pretty much out of it for a couple days, then I come here and............Wow!! You guys all rock, but Gary C., you're killin' me. That is awesome. All of you regular artistic geniuses just kill it, and the newbies are bringin' some heat. Thanks to all of you for putting this huge bright spot in a dreary week.

 

Awesome work Palat, 3D is where I've been heading (but struggling)

 

Don't worry about it… just go with it. Several years from now when you can look back at this time of your life with 20/20 vision it will become clear to you… trust me.
