Art & Inspiration >>>>>>>friday Art Show!!!<<<<<<<<

I've been laid up recovering from foot surgery, so I have had time to surf the HAMB and paint. I've really gotten into that vintage sprint car thread. Those stories are amazing and the old photos are inspiring. I'll start it off this week with one inspired from there...

IT'S FRIDAY!!!

...somewhere.

Here's a couple different angles on one I posted last week (hope you're not sick of it...)





These next few can also be seen entered into the Art Challenge thread---

This one is the Mako-Meteor's original concept sketches. It is believed this car was never actually vissualized 1:1. ( the "sharks fin" seems a bit much tho does recall some styling cues seen on a couple Pontiac concepts of the late 50's era)



The next is called the Jupitor...




Note the injected 327 routed through a 4x4 transfer case into the '63 Corvette rear end.

 

I know I know, this truck is not what is considered a "traditional Hot rod" I designed this for a select group of guys with this year model truck. I am thinking about converting the stripes to flames.



By the by, what do you call a modified truck of this year or any year? I have always just referred to them as "Hot Rod Trucks". Anyway, just wanted to post it for my "digital lines" I laid down.

 

everyone check out the art challenge before it's over!

 

Nice start to the show......nice painting falconizer62

Here's one I did a while back


Urban 39

 

My Father-in-law worked for his Father-in-law at a gas station in SoCal here in the 50's and 60's. Over the years he has given me some pretty cool tools and stuff. Well last weekend I was over there and he pulls these out of the rafters! They were never mounted! I framed them up, sorry about the glare.

 

Never Neverland...
That's what this one is about.
I never went to Texas, never saw this car in the flesh.
But... when I flipped to page 28 in the August 1962 issue of Car Craft
I knew what my next rendering would be. This car, with its American Bantam
body, GMC 4-71 supercharged flathead and Vertex magneto, exemplifies
the true hot rodding spirit. Build something cool and see how fast it will go!

The Ram Rods Auto Club of Dallas, TX, once ran their exquisite creation
down the strip at Green Valley Raceway. The car still exists but is in sad shape.
Green Valley is now a housing project.

Special thanks to HAMBers, "The Fidgiter" and "Scrape"
who furnished reaserch which allowed me to finish this artwork.
I couldn't have done it accurately without your help.

 

here is my contribution that i wanted to post weeks ago.

A4 paper size, coloured with pencils.



picture was taken by a digital camera, it doesnt do the drawing any justice

 

so much talent
Hey i tried posting my work and I was not allowed.
what is that about? what did i miss reading

 

GaryC.. that's pretty cool

 

Thanks Nate!

 

god damn fellas this is a solid start to the show.
Gary C- very nice man
Janne- your stuff always impresses the hell out of me, this one is my new favorite....bravo!
jigger- i like the jupitor, way cool
ubermustang- wow.......im drooling

 

Excellent peice Gary. Excellent.

 

I must say I look forward to this weekly art show. You are some talented sonsabitches!!!

 

Thanks for saying the stuff guys. Especially the good stuff. Did I mention the Chevilluick
is sporting an Oldsmobile dash and a Pontiac SD under the bonnet? That makes it a Chevilluiponchsmobile-dillac-ick.

Janne, I love the coupe
Gary, niiiiice.
....unt, Uber'stang,... das auto est Voonderbar! (Phonetically speaking.)

 

Nice looking show thus far, keep 'em comin'!

I have a couple ideas rolling around in my head for t-shirt designs. I wanted to see what folks thought here.

First off, a 1932 Roadster:


Second, a 1940 Ford:

(I may drop that 1940 Ford a little more so it looks a little more slammed than this mock up. Ideas?)

I'm still considering placement ideas. front design, or should it be a back?


lemme know what you guys think

 

I like the shirts a lot. If you slam the 40 you may want to keep the as is for sale to other classic car lovers. That look and convertible is a pretty popular car and may sell on other forums or to a different market than here. I'd buy one of each!

and just my .02 but I really like the 40 how appears to be as one with the rest of the artwork. The 32 looks like it would fit better if you put it to the right of it facing into the artwork. Again just my opinion...nice work!

 

I wished I was the one who did this artist drawing, but I'm not.
I saw it on H.A.M.B a while ago and copied it. It is a drawing of
a chopped '57 Buick station wagon with a surfboard on top at a
surfer's dream beach. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it.
As I have a chopped '57 Buick 2-door hardtop, I kept wishing this
was the same model. I decided to convert it into a 2-door hardtop, but the only computer program I have similar to Photoshop is
Photo Impressions (it isn't much.) So I used "clone" and "smudge"
to convert the artist's drawing. I must apologize to the artist that
the quality of his drawing was downgraded when I did my work. I
think of him as an artist and myself as an amateur amateur. I
now use the revised drawing as my computer desktop background.
I promise not to"steal" any other drawings unless someone does another chopped '57 Buick.
