Art & Inspiration ****Very early Friday Art Show*****

OK it's Wednesday...but I haven't done any new art for nearly a year and today I did some....I had a real shit year last year (it went from real highs to real lows and trying to jump off a 3rd floor balcony didn't really help too much either!!)......but this year it's gona be different and I'm real positive so..
it may be simple...it may be on a base tube... it may have only taken an hour or so but it means a lot to me as it means I still want to paint.
Not a copy but very Tinglerish (OK pretty much a copy but I have to get back some how!!!) Hope you like it.

 

this means a lot to me so keeping it at the top

 

Welcome back! That's cool as hell!

 

I made this from pressed particleboard/chip board . The different sizes and directions that the pieces of wood run gives it a different look.

 

Mate, I can very much understand where your coming from. I haven't put pencil or paint to any medium in about two years now.
Its great to hear that things are looking up for you, one step in the right direction. Pretty soon you will be running!
Doc.

 

Damn kool tiki

 

HEY!!! WHAT THE.....

Just joking. I dig it. I can tell you looked at one of mine to do it, but you've changed it enough that I can tell you haven't "copied" it....or in other words TRACED it.

I'm going to write this real big so everyone can understand.

There is nothing wrong with doing that!

It's an honor to have you reference my artwork...and that's a nice piece too!

Very cool. Thanks for sharing it.

 

Okay, I'll jump in the early art show, this is just a sketch I did a while back that I just scanned into the computer. It's a rendition of how I want my '27 rpu to look (my own sheetmetal from the back of the doors rearward), I had kind of a long wheelbase in mind (118") and wanted to see how it would look in scale (I think I drew it in 1/16th scale). and the engine in the pic is a 4cyl Opel,,, why? cause I have a built 2 liter opel engine under the bench, not to mention they look pretty correct with a finned pan and rocker cover.

 

Not quite done but I was hoping to finish for the friday art show. Also maybe more of a jockey journal type but its what I've done for the week.

 

super cool tiki, and the pick'em up is real cool too.ratster, the bike looks awesome. i look forward to seeing it finished. heres a 63 t bird i just finished.

zombie

 

Zombie,
That's beautiful. (of course).

 

An A/FX T Bird? I can hear the sound of the SOHC in it.

 

That is sick! I have the hardest time imagining paint jobs like that to do up for my vehicles.

 

This is my contribution for the MUntz challenge that ends Friday at noon.

 

Noice! 1920's Indian Scout? Any particular rider?

Thanks,
Kurt

 

A piece i did for Squindo, you saw the pencil sketch a few weeks ago, now here's the painting!

Acrylics on 11" x 14" canvas with a 'lil stenciled lace added for the background



yea Zombie ...another awesome work of art!
cheers,
CAB

 

..a louvered panel I finished up & gave to my brother for Xmas....and a fink panel

 

Neato, super coolio show start

 

I am not actually sure fo the rider or the bike. I got the picture from the jockey and just thought it was a bad ass picture maybe I'll have to research it!

 

Here are a few i have done lately. I have been trying to learn how to you photo shop better. Also been in a Warhol kinda mood.

BTW- If you know my wife, don't tell her i posted this.

 

I've got a question for you guys!

I pm'ed Ryan as well as some of the artists, and some of you said to post this publicly, so here it is.......... I'm the founder and director of a not-for-profit group called FAST FRIENDS in Southern Colorado. We help out families of seriously- and terminally-ill kids in our area, and use car- and bike-related events to do it. We're having a swap meet on March 1, 2008 with lots of cool stuff going on, and an auction at the end of it. We would be honored if any of the HAMB artists would be interested in contributing a piece for our auction. If you care to help, please PM me for an address to send contributions, as I don't want to put anyone on the spot or cause a hassle. Thanks for reading this and Thanks In Advance to those who choose to help.

 

Zombie, that is beautiful

 

...this one was early...

This is the last of 6. 1-shot on a flaked panel...

 

Just a little panel I did to try out the new pearlesant 1Shot I got the other day. Dark Magenta and Lemon Yellow on silver flake.

 

Hey animal I think thats awesome, and I'd like to contribute something to it. Always helps to give where I can.

 

Ive been trying to learn more on photoshop and made this this weekend.

 

Acrylics on canvas painting, original size is 30x43 inches. There is signature in original, but I photographed this before signing. It's over year old but I think it hasn't been in hamb yet. Bike is concept made as graduation project by my friend Pasi Paananen.

paulatxntric, I've been there too, maybe not on a third floor balcony but close enough. Nice to hear that you are getting out of it!

PBR Allstar, Good to see an Opel in the Art show.

I've just finished this -53 Opel for my brother-in-law. He bought my Aunts first car that she have had standing in a barn for the last 30 or so, years. This is a mild version with just wheels and a lowering (And converted to 5-lug).
