Art & Inspiration *** Friday Art Show ***

Whats up everyone. First post since Detroit. Pinstripers auction was great. Ben, you're a lucky man and i am glad the painting of Gray went to the right home. Pics comin soon. Anyways, this tank has striping and air brush combined. It's what the guy wanted even tho i think the sides are sort of cheesy. I like the top and it is differentfor me.

 

Heres a hand painted panel that sold in detroit for a lowsy 80 bucks. Sucks bein one of the last ones up on a friday night. Wish i could take a couple thousand dollars next year a make off like a bandit.

 

haha that sedan rules...

 

Realy nice

 

great designs guys, sweeet pinstripping Tuck

 

As some of you might know, I'm a striper too. One of my biggest influences is our own Safariknut. So, I'm gonna take a post to brag on him and post a couple he did.

The red one is one that I bought at an auction. I still feel a little guilty in the fact that I stole it for a mere $35. The second one has a great story behind it. I was bidding on one of Safariknut's flying eyeball designs and ended up getting outbid... BY HIS WIFE! Safariknut being the ulitimate great guy that he is, did this wonderful blue panel, just for me. Talk about being a great guy. He did this without telling me. He saw me at another event and just handed it to me. If I'm embarrassing you Ray, TOO BAD!

You can get even by posting a pic of a certain frying pan...

This is the best I can do on short notice...

man theres some good shit this week, Empire I always dig your stuff... I LOVED those posters from last week. RULERS

 

Right back at ya Jeff;one of the high points of the weekend.You have WAY too much fun you know.BTW if you get down for Billetproof this year,I might be able to ,"find" one of those ,edged devices" we were discussing.

A quick anecdote:When my brother-in-law and I got home Saturday night and we were reviewing the day he asked me if you did anything else but draw those crazy characters you were doing at the show.I showed him the panels you had so graciously sent down to me awhile ago and he was properly impressed.Thanks again for them.

As for you, Mr.Vance: Thank you for the memories of that.Jan and I still laugh about her,"bidding war".As for the certain fry pan,I've posted it before but I guess we can trot it out again.Thank you again for it;people still comment on it when they come in the shop.

hi! new work.........

 

Hey Guys....awesome work this week!!!

I've always admired HIDDEN's work, so I decided to give the "stylized black and white" vector art a go.

Here is what I came up with...its the Salinas Boys 36 being built for Kirk Hammet.....let me know what you think.

 

.......that red panel is awesome but the blue one is priceless!!! I, too, have one of those "Ray Smith stories." I imagine that there are several of them out there? The man is a class act...........
