Art & Inspiration \\\***Friday Art Show - 09/27/07***///

great start to the show, nuthin new from me this week, long story... here's a couple from a few weeks ago. I don't think I posted here.

 

Still on my case making thing.These are a couple recent ones.Next week I hope to have the two vintage tackle boxes I bought Saturday at least close to being finished.

 

Forgot one pic

 

I agree 100% with Coop on this one
By the way, great show everyone.
I like Jim's idea about the spooky/halloween art show come the 26th, that will be interesting!
cheers everyone.

 

These are old, but I'm inspired to post them again after seeing Coop's finished piece...which looks great by the way.

 

Since the debate has been discussed about digital and traditional media I figgured it was as good a time as any to post some new stuff.

 

Don't insult the man, Kevin smith is a hack. The new painting looks great COOP. I love your paint blogging.

 

Where ya been HIDDEN?

 

He's been hidin'.

Here's another hacked out sketch, the honcho of poncho, an HD beast whose
mill would go well in any road worthy lightweight...

 

I'm posting some automotive illustrations
that are a bit off topic but as artists who appreciate
the skilled works of legendary image makers I think you'll
like these. Some of you may know who SYD MEAD is.
Mead has been a huge inspiration to me for over 30 years.
Some of his work will be familiar to you if you ever saw
"Blade Runner" or "Tron". Enjoy!

 

Those are great Gary, thanks. I recently came across a bunch of 'like new' Nat'l Geographics from '66-'73. All the ones from '66- '69 have the wide-track Pontiac adds in them which sent me soaring. My son and I spent a day scanning, cleaning up a saving them. Yeah, baby!

 

a little OT, but i always loved the avanti but put a mustang fastback inspired roof on it. Soon to be coloured.


Great show everyone, by the time i get around to posting there is always too many names to type, i wish i had the time. Keep up the good work everyone

 

My woodcarving of Dragnut for the Finkosel made it into primer tonight. Felt good to be done with the chisel work.

 

Syd Mead is one of my heroes! Too bad they didn't make any of those cars. -stick
P.s. So is Jeff Norwell. Thank you, Sir.

 

Looks great Chaz,

Are those teeth Corian ?
Great start to the art show everyone.

Doc.

 

Ok, here are some worthless photos of some drawings I did. The channeled coupe is part of a set of three. Maybe I will scan them and post them in another art show. Rad stuff guys!

 

The Funnies!

 

Bumpstick... Jigger... glad I posted the Mead pictures.
Actually though, pictures number 2 and 3 were built.
Number 2 was known as the "Innovari", designed for and built by the United States Steel Corp. in Pittsburgh, Pa. I once saw it from the eighth floor of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 1968. One of our classrooms overlooked a parking deck. On the roof of that deck sat the Innovari, a 1959 T-bird and a 1936 Ford Coupe... all manufactured with STAINLESS STEEL skins. Precursors to the Delorean... by 20 years!

The car in picture 3 was commissioned by a gentleman in Cleveland. Whoever built it didn't quite capture Mead's lines... although it looked good. I only recall ever seeing one photo of it.

 

I wasn't gonna say it, but i'm glad you did! Thanks!

 

why is it that every friday just seems to get better than the last...I really appreciate the talent everyone demonstrates each week and want to thank everyone for sharing.

Here's few things I did this week and one older one...these are all going into the Final Friday show here in wichita at Hooligan Hot Rods new shop.

Anyone in the area want to come hang out...just PM me and I'll give you directions.

Thanks again everyone.

 

These are cool...

 

Hey, I actually have something for this week! And for this, I am combigning my pinstriping and my photography. The COE and the F1 with the broken window belong to 38chevy454!











Oh and here are the colors of the stripes...

 

Meteor, I still have my set of those prints.
I dig 'em!

This is art to me.........

 

Incredible show this week so far everyone. Rockyjr , I love that red box. First bike tank that I have ever tried to stripe. Its a half tank from a swap meet that I made into a clock for a friends clothing store.

 

Yeah, ok, so its a bike, my friend's one that he sold recently to a guy in The Netherlands...before it went, he asked me to shoot some crappy pics...so here you go...













And a couple of random other ones of a Chevy I found dumped in a field (Sorry Phil)

 

Thanks! Sure I know Syd Mead, I have seen couple of his books, but I don't own any.

 

Coop666; I'm not putting you down or down or anything. Hey, I've even bought your books .

I use projectors and computers, anything that gets the job done. It's just that I sometimes feel a bit silly when I'm in the process of tracing a large projected design that I've already done on a small scale: Doing the small scale design was all the fun and got the creative juices flowing, you know. That was the real "human touch". Slaving away at the large piece after that isn't much fun anymore. Wouldn't it be nice to do a nice big painting all freehand? I agree with you however that using a projector for paintings this large is the best option for your style of work.

 

ok, is this show getting earlier and earlier????

awesome work everyone........i get excited every friday morning now, for the inspiration......

i started on a new tolied seat with a tribute to kenneth Howard.....lets just say, theres a lot of gold leafing...see that in a few weeks....
anyhow...heres some small panelles i did up last night for fun...

 

Just a quick one before Im off to a party!
: )
Dodge Dart -65 (OK so its a year too young). Lowered, a bit dechromed, tinted windows, 17 inch wheels with reversed full moon caps and Jaguar D-type spinners. A deeper grille and thinner bumpers of your choise. rolled pan. Cheap to build and run. I have actually been thinking of building this myself.

 

coop and meteor
love the images you guys use
solid lines and shapes mixed with the mass printed production look always makes your stuff look bold
they way the words fit in as images look kool
