Art challenge 10 this... take a car from the hamb and give it the CARtoon treatment. It can be your car or a car you admire, but it has to have appeared on the hamb at some point.

I love the cartoon style and I know htere are some great artist on the hamb that are very good at this style.. like Dutch Courage, delswanson, and the unmistakable Lance Sorchik .

I'm going to have fun with this one, I hope you guys do too!

We will go from today, the 15th of July, to the 15th of August. If you'd like to offer a prize, let me know.

i dig it

 

Sweet idea...I'm definitely IN!!

 

"Now We're cookin' with Gas!" I'm in!

 

Are you saying mimic their styles in the Rag or use our own styles?
ex:










?


I'll quit now

(These are not my entry.)

 

jigger, all of these would work as far as style is concerned.. the more toon-y the better

 

Okay, I'm in.

 

How to be a success at this challenge.. figure out whay the following examples are kick ass and do that:

 

this is going to be an awesome thread! I can't wait.

Someone alert Sorchick and Froggett!!!!

 

Nate,
Thanks for the compliment, on my birfday no less! I'll see what I can whip up, but it may only be a sketch. Ditto on Sorchik and Froggett!

Sounds cool...I am in.

 

Count me in ...lets do it the old way , by hand "camera ready art black n white or colored ink stuff .

 

Well, you can't dictate that...some guys don't have the know-how or skills. I think as long as it's an original toon (hopefully hand drawn before it's scanned and colorized but it doesn't matter to me) then it's acceptable. Look at Gary C's latest toon-type coupe in Fridays artshow. Not hand drawn but definitely cool nonetheless.

 

Uummm???

 

Heres one .....

 

cool stuff guys, lets not post too much more if it's not an entry in the challenge though!

 

Anyone have a reference photo of the "mosquito"?

I wonder if Mike is still out there...or what his screen name is this time...


~Bro

 

This should be cool!

 

I did this one on my computer for a circle tracker, but I will draw a HAMBer soon.

 

....

 

Here is an in progress CARtoon of my friend Aaron's Hemi-powered roadster dubbed the "Swingin' Neck Breaker" His HAMB screen name is ichoptop...don't tell him about it yet, it's his birthday present!

 

Damn 1-Shot that is sweet!

 

Hahahaha....that's awesome.....

I'm guessing it's Cab

 

Can't we leave somethings scared??

 

If you mean sacred....sure, there are some orriginal issues on the 'bay right now.
I bet you could even find some perfectly restored cars out there too.
I am not an artist, but I would love to see a HAMB Cartoons cover.

 

Here is the final...minus erasing the extra pencil marks.

 

1-Shot that is bad ass!!!!!

 

SUH-weeeeeeeeeeeet!

 

here's my avatar. it is also on my business card.... and my address labels for ebay junk. rough pencil sketch, then a sharpie, then a photo and cleaned up on the computer.



someone I sold parts to wanted to know where I got the picture. so I did him a 55 for his card.
