I striped my mower today. Its my first time striping.

I suck balls at it too...

 

´69 Mustang fastback:

 

Damn Janne, I'm pretty sure if you drew a pile of dog crap, it would look cool and I would want to drive it!

Good stuff!

I'll bet it's the best looking striped mower on the whole art show! Seriously, everyone sucks on their first try, looks good for a first effort. Keep practicing.

Here's my latest pinstriping project. .50 recipe tin...

 

This is the only portrait I've ever done. This is an oil on canvas of my hero Bruce McLaren. McLaren was a fellow Kiwi, and he and I shared the same birthday, August 30, although he was killed before I was born. I would loved to have met him. He established McLaren Motorsport whilst still in his twenties, which is still a dominant force in Formula 1 to this day. He was a multiple Can-Am champion, and all-round nice guy.

This painting is on loan to the Bruce McLaren Trust, set up by Bruce's sister Jan.

Ok, so everyone here ( I think) knows the story about Andy Dunn.
If not, you can get up to speed reading this thread:

Anyways, what this has to do with the friday art show, is that Im not a rich man and cant donate much money, but I always have something to offer.

I use to have a company called Monster Hotrods. Anyway, I sent Andy and his dad a shirt design of their choice, (the two below are the ones they chose) a HUGE bag of decals and company stickers, and this original drawing made and signed just for Andy.

Keeping those spirits high is sometimes priceless, Im sure you all know that, so this is my contribution to Andy as well as for my 'friday'

 

more Big Rig stuff...and some toolboxes....did a mega-dollar deuce roadster today but coudn't get decent pics.

 

Here's this weeks contribution to the cause.

Flying Eyeball done in Adobe Illustrator.

A couple of Photoshop chopped sleds.
Hot Rod Lincoln and who the #@%* would chop a Tucker.....
gimme a saw!

And finally a futuristic truck I did about five years ago, also in Adobe Illustrator.

 

Man, there are some talented folks on this board. I used to do this stuff all the time but the computer has set me back.

Here's a little T I would love to build.

 

Great stuff guys.

Keep it coming!

 

Stencil- vertical steez

 

Very cool Steve

 

Practicing my metal work so i made a sculpture.

 

Didn't think it was the 27th yet? Here's a tool box I did for my brother(a/fxcomet). I borrowed it for a couple years then I finally decided to hand it back to him. All the welds were splitting and it was beat/warped to death. So I took the resistence welder to it and pounded/heat shrinked it back to life. Here you go..

 

I shot it with a black metallic base coat. I then shot over the stripes with the clear. They look real sweet and smooth. My first time doing that and definetly not my last.
Here are some progress shots of it...

i havnt striped in like a year, so im a bit rusty. that and the brush wasnt cooperating that well either.

 

Rollie -- Love your big rig art. Very clean and perfect.
