Art & Inspiration Friday art thread, and yes it is finally friday

Here a a few pics from last week. I had a beautiful model to work with and all had fun.

 

Just got this finished for the Pistons and Pinups show in Atlanta next week.....1shot on an Oil can...mmmmmmmm I smell bacon!

 

Finally got a panel done for Tudor, for getting his '32 a.k.a. Can-O-Worms on the road.

He sent me this...



And though it was hard to improve on it, I gave it to ol' college try...







All 1Shot on wood, about 18x24.

 

Also got some painting done on a 1953 Sears Spaceliner, dubbed The Red Rocket, for dvanecek's wife Melissa. Hobby store flake and some stripes...





It seemed to put a smile on her face, I think...

Wow, that is really one of the best pieces I've seen of yours. I'm going to get my magnifying glass out, all kinds of cool stuff going on there.

I've been wating ALL week for this! It's finaly FRIDAY... All the artwork I've seen today is killer! Here's my latest ( I finished it at 11:00 this morning) Hot off the drawing board... Ed

 

Haven't posted anything in about four-months but here is some newer stuff.

 

love that Hemi shot.

 

I know this might be a bit of an different project, but, as I was out in my shop I stumbled up on my dad's old tool box. It had my thinking about him, this month marks 10 years since he has past away. He was the one responsible for getting me into this hobby I love some much. Then I had a sudden brainstorm of an idea in memory of him. I opened the box and put in 2 pictures that I have of him and some of the hot rods he has built. One was a 1949 chevy truck, which was a traditional rod more or less, for him it was build a truck, cheap. I loved that truck and today someone else owns it and is drag racing it. The other is a 1940 ford 2 dr sedan he had in the 60's. Very fast hot rod from what I was told form those who remembered. I also included a 57 chevy yellow, because he had one (waiting on picture of that). Below is a picture of him and I working on the studebaker truck that i still have and he gave it to me when i was 8 or 9 years old. The picture frame talks about not only him being my father, but a role model, a teacher,a best friend, and someone who taught me how to have a relationship with the Lord and still live life. Just wish he could have been around to see this new traditional rod scene, because he would've loved it, like I do. I hope to add more to it, and maybe paint and pin stripe the outside of the tool box later.

Oh, I also inlcude a pair of his glasses from the 60's, those are not Toad's from American Graffiti. Also a 49' chevy truck horn button.

 

that is absolutely awesome

 

Sorry not much from me this week.
A little variation on one of my older paintings.
Lots of cool stuff as always.

Worked on this one yesterday and finished it last night... just in time for the "Real" Friday artshow. Lots of talk about the 'Uncertain T' this is my version of it as a cartoon. The other art I did a while back. Love Danny and Tiffany's car so I put my own monster in her car... Check it out!

 

Man this is awesome...what a cool tribute...art is supposed to evoke conversation and emotion...

 

Ridin' with the King! Airbrushed this up a couple years ago but just came across the pic's.

 

Pacheco putting it down once again! Nice!
