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

Clysdale... I really dig your style as well. I am particularly a fan of all the marriachi, bandido stuff.
Great work.

 

Thanks rufstoksilver, with the Day of the Dead Festivals coming up in a few months it's going to be all Marriachis and Banditos pouring out of the studio!

 

Damn Franco - you are doing amazing things on that computer now - really looks like natural media and not digital at all. Killer stuff!

 

BIG COLOR
This is what happens when
you're off work on a Friday
and should actually be
washing dishes!

 

Great show guys, thanks for showing

 

I too am a big fan of that stuff and am trying to get some illustrations going my self. Here is sketch on a post-it of an idea I have very similar to your avatar. I will shoot for getting it done for next weeks art show.

 

one of my favorite subjects zumo...cool idea! I have pages of sketches I need to get slapped down in paint. All the Day of the Dead stuff is great....check out all the works of Posada and you can get inspired!

looking through his stuff you can see just how much his work has been copied and reworked...

 

Some of the edges show up strange, don't know why.
Just something else to post.

Dude - I have never seen Posada's work.
The very first time I ever did a painting was a "dead" painting for my Spanish instructor. She wanted a banner for the Dia de los Muertos party that she was throwing for all of the Spainish students and she wrangled me into doing it.

It was before the internet - so no Googling for images...but it's super cool to see how close I came to straight up stealing this style....


Great show today.

Hey Broman,

His work really defined a whole movement...and gave everyone a starting point. Always a great source of ideas and starting points.

 

Following along with clysdale amd zumo, here are some photos from a recent car show. Skulls on autos...

 

Well here you go last one for this week.Just finished this one last nite.Great show everybody
there are so many people with talent it scares me lol.One thing I would like to say is thanks to a guy who showed me what a wacom was and that is Mike Jang and gave me my first tip.Two is Jeff Norwell for all the phone calls and keeping me from trashing my new wacom and tosing my computer in the trash.Well back to getting my hands dirty in the garage,
and going back to my brushes...............

Endsville Von Franco............

 

Some photos.

 

Some recent striping.......

 

Great stuff this week guys! Von Franco,AWESOME! Ger, love the coupe! Gary, Lowcab cool as usual! This a bit O/T, but I just got finished sculpting(high density foam) and painting the menu board for "Georgie Porgies". It's a custard stand here in Oak Creek WI. with a car show every Saturday. It just needs a clear coat and installation. Sorry about the quality of the pics.

 

Gee, Del, Ya make signs too! What can't you do amazingly well?

Very nice work!!

Joel

 

Great work Del! I love sculpting foam.

Here's some links only (since they're non-automotive, sorry) to my latest foam sculptured goodness.

Thanks!

Man I love HDU.

I haven't built a sign in a few years now - really miss that stuff.

I wish I could still get ahold of some of that stuff. I wanted to use it to make a buck for fiberglass body parts... Never did get that far.

Thanks for those who are plugging the Friday Art Show Talent group! (see my sig. for a link).

 

WOW.....I'm blown away this week...Ubermustang....wow, just incredible work....

Well... dunno if its art, but here's my new Pontiac 'resting' on her way home last night, waiting for a man with a fuel can

Shot with my cell phone camera on 'sepia' setting.

 

Geez! That's a great camera phone!

 

damn... what phone do you have

 

Its an LG Envy 2 so it say's on the box......

2mp camera

Another couple I shot with it at The Asphalt Invitational the other week....on Black n White setting.

 

people taking pictures with a phone. what is this world coming to?

nice Pontiac. I figure when you buy an old car you need to run out of gas once to see where E actually is on the gauge.

 

Cool stuff Rob, thanks Joel. I don't do a lot of signs(only for people I know). I have a lot of friends who are sign painters and they don't need one more shmuck who thinks he knows what he's doing competing for their bread and butter. Again, great show this week!

 

These are from last weekend's Murder City Rumble in Deeeeeetroit, Michigan at The Majestic. I already posted them on a thread specific to that event, but I hope folks don't mind a re-post...
