Art & Inspiration ///// Early Friday Artshow 7-31-08 \\\\\\

Well, as they say, I did not see an artshow started.
Finished this one up yesterday. I think I now have this theme out of my system. Hope you like it. Yeah it looks like alot of my other ones...
12X36 Acrylic.

I was just thinkin' the same thing... looking for an art show. It's been a while. My excuse comes in the form of a 67 bonneville wagon.

"Midnight in L.A." 54x84"


"Smoothie" 26x35"


"56 Hardtop" 40x54"

 

Great to see some hand-brush art, Lowcab and Dankyd!

OK, couldn't let the current Car-Toon Art Challenge pass without contributing!

This car I've long been wanting to do a cartoon of; Verne Hammond's '34 Coupe.

I got a little carried away on the detailing; see close-up below. I guess that's the price you pay when you're doing vector art; you keep zooming in on the screen all the time adding stuff. The tool is Adobe Illustrator.

 

Here's my Dollar minus 98 pennies

 

Been playing with my Wacom again. Thought I would throw this in this week.

Endsville
Von Franco

 

Beautiful stuff everyone.

LowCab- love the blues and greens in that piece. Awsome.
Dankyd- sweet work as usual, esp. Midnight in LA
Dutch & gearhead- great designs. very clean

I did this one for a buddy of mine. It's a painting of his mom on her ol Harley from 1939-1940. Cheers


My Harley Mom
24" X 30"
Oil on Linen

 

Damn you guy's are all amazing painters. Von Franco, I really dig the fact that you can't tell that piece was done on the computer. A really nice traditional aproach to the medium. Very impressive so far.

 

Von Franco....I need to get some tips from you on that Wacom...I hate mine...I cant do anything on it....seems too sensitive:???

 

Great stuff already wow.....here is what I got done this week for the Tiki Oasis show in San Diego...

"Monkey Hunter Cut-Out"
1shot on MDF
10"x22"

 

Something else I did for a buddy of mine a while back. he has since sold it...

 

some silkscreened and painted stuff i did for a show i have in philly this month

 

Wow-- nice work everyone. Dutch-- that's awesome! VonF-- Wacom rocks! (I tell people all the time that using a comuter w/out a Wacom tablet is like someone trying to play piano with oven mitts on!)

I'magearhead-- you can adjust the sensitivity of the tablet in the control panel/system preference screen. If you're using a Graphire, they do seem a little too clunky for me, but I use a 9x12 Intuos.

Couple of shirt designs I've done for some upcoming shows.

Manifolds on Main September 27



and THEM! Invasion on Sept. 6

 

himjively-- that's way cool.

 

Totally. I haven't used a mouse on my computer since '96.

Great showing so far everybody!

My latest prototype: 3" long,Gold plated wings.

Here's some T-shirt art I put together for this years Cheaterama.

August 23rd at the Nite Owl Diner.

WOW! What a start. Incredible; upping the ante from last week. Just amazing stuff guys.

The following is OFF TOPIC

Hope to add car stuff before the week end but, for now, here's the Arylic painting my newly 13 year old daughter Abby did for her Mom's Birthday. It's her first free form painting. I need to get her to do some hot rods...



Here's the card lay-outs I made her ...



And here's the wagon I actually used

 

This Woody is one I'd previously posted...

 

A tiny sketch.
That's how this one started.
A little of this and some of that and the
next thing you know its The Friday Art Show.

It's all looking good as usual!!!!

Here's mine!

 

Great show already! Sweet paintings! Pretty busy this week....gonna post my color version of "frank"

 

rough ball point pen sketches for the Art Challenge 10...don't know if its worth posting over there...hopeful it will come together...

 

Jeff. I like the moody look of the first post.
The shadows and hilights are very alive.

 

I've been checking the Early Friday Artshow out for awhile now. You guys have alot of talent! I'll try to not bring it down. I did this for the cartoon thread. Hand drawn with Photoshop background and title. I really love this car!

 

Hey all!! Been away from this board for a long while. Just wanted to pop by and say hello! Here are a few things from the last few weeks.....


Acrylic on wood...See no, hear no, speak no.


A fresh new tattoo of Herman Munster for ya!

...and a reminder that we are once again accepting submissions for the now infamous "Brushes, Needles and Burnouts" 2008. Please contact the shop manager Katie for all the info.
