Art & Inspiration ////Early Friday Show//////

Here is a few pen n inks to start this off.

 

Here’s an old one. A logo I did for a classic racing team a while back. Started with a standard typeface and redrew letters S&t to get a personal expression in the logo.

 

Mid Engine Tudor
Here's a wild one that might be
cool at the track or on the stand
at a custom car show.

 

Heres my contribution, bic pen on copy paper

 

Its been a while since ive striped or lettered anything so i dont really have any recent pics but I have been playing around in photoshop alot. So heres something I made just killing time. Its not hotrod related but some of you may think its cool. I will have some new striping pics up really soon.

Great start this week!
Been some time since I've posted...
Can't recall if I've shared these before, but here goes:

Slightly O/T, but still a hot rod:


....and a little coupe:

 

I did the ornamental striping on this boat for Mike Dwight yesterday. That 'ol fart still has Chops! Take a look at his '70s inspired paint job. Remember the Busy Body Vans? He brought it all back with PPG products and backed it with a lifetime waranty. I was honored to finish up this sweet boat.

 

Pacheco...top notch as usual...my Rivi looks bitchin...can't wait to see the panel

 

Here is some photochop stuff I do for friends. I change the car, color, top, whatever they want. I start with a side pic of the car and cut that out than cut up the car for chopping or whatever than add color and graphics than put in a cool background and blend.

I start with this:


And end up with these:

 

Thanks Ken....coming soon...rodtees.com

 

Nice work as usual! I would love to see that '31 Chevy with some Wide White walls and black wheels with 40's chevy center caps if you get a little time. It's not often that someone does one of those cars.

Not sure if I've posted some of these but here ya go. These practice paintings are a few years old and were originally photos from the "van people book. They were pretty small (5x7 I think). Not entirely on topic , sorry bout that. The other is art for a new ad for one of our fellow HAMB members. It will be in Dice. Also included are a few cars I did for Jada toys last year.Enjoy!
