Art & Inspiration <<<<friday art show>>>>>

Man pacheco I think the new rule should be you have to start the friday art thread lol. I started the one last week and it was to much pressure.

I was supposed to be driving to a show in Oklahoma city at 4am but the wife and I decided to stay in Houston and ride it out. It gives me a chance to work on some new pieces for the Burnout in Houston next weekend. Here is some old stuff I am still working on the new stuff.

 

Club plaques were a little on the pricey side for us right now, so I got out the leather and tools to make them myself. Laid it on an old Harley floorboard and smashed rivets around it. Design by Erik (Hidden).

 

i went to a small panel jam last weekend, and heres what i ended up painting..a toilet seat and a nice clean panel..

hope you like em!

 

Good morning, gentlemen...

As usual, wishing all a great weekend. For those on the Gulf Coast and in the path of Ike... Be safe.

Best,

Ralph

 

Awsome work again dude! I'm glad I got the panel. And that toilet seat prefect.

 

cool stuff as usual

 

ewt2. Thanks man. Love the drawings. You try any oils? I think your obsession for detail would look great on canvas. Here's one of my dad's '56.

 

Here is my humble entry to the friday art show. Figured I just need to start posting to get motivated really start producing some art.

Hope you like...The paint was done on a bowling pin with one shot. Its for a benefit car auction in Momouth, Illinois. called Rods and Pins. on the 28th of this month. Sorry for the crappy pictures. Camera is a little shaky! : )

Thanks for looking!

 

some stuff im working on


and this is a piece of ply wood wit a image of syd barret from pink floyd cut out on it im doing this for my friends b day

 

Love your rendition of it. Does he still own it? If not do you know what happened to it?
I have always wanted to try Oils. I've rendered in Casein, Gouache, Pastel, and Marker. In my day job I rendering buildings in color. The pencil drawings I do have to be completely different from that, or I'd go crazy. I think the Oils thing would be pretty cool though... Someday!

 

Looks great and a great idea!

 

"Heading Home"
Another day of racing is over. Time to hit the road.
You and your roadster and a crisp cool night.
The sound of the flathead and the sun cutting through
the last clouds of the day bring a smile that only a few will know.

It's more than a car.

 

Cool. Give 'em a shot. Pastel actually isn't too far off. Can get some of the layers with them. The '56 was sold in 1963, and then wrecked shortly there after. Some dude hit a semi head on with it. I understand what you mean about the day job. Makes me wonder what/if the other artists here do. I am a stay-at-home dad. Good thing my girl likes to work in the studio and help on the car.

Great show so far everyone...nothing new from me, should have something next week. keep up the good work

Well I didn't finish what I wanted to post, so here is something I did for my mother-in-laws birthday. She had just gotten her first ride on a bike.

 

Thanks, I know, it's just that all the stuff I've done can't be shown till it's been on market for awhile. I'll be posting some new Dice stuff next week though.

 

Now, I'm the first to admit I'm not very artistic.
Here is what idle hands do when you run out of gas for the welder, have a few friends over rotating your beer stock, and have a silver sharpe handy.

Tried for a tiki idol.... kida close.

Thanks... The wire wheel on the back of the Harley seemed to take forever! Overall about 40hrs.
GaryC and fortypickup, you guys make me want to go back to B'Ville. I don't know which would be more fun. (the roadster or the Hi-Bob pickup!)
