Art & Inspiration >>>>> Friday ART SHOW 02/13/09 <<<<<

It doesn't make ANY difference WHO you do it for...it's still ripping off someone's time, sweat and it's stealing...

I make a living by doing art...I GET PAID for it...it pays my mortgage and helps me build my cars...I've been getting paid for doing art for over thirty years...

The first thing you should have done: contact the person that did the art and ASK if it was OK to use it...we have the means right here on the HAMB to contact the artist...and prolly most of them might be flattered to use it for children...but YOU didn't...(or whoever stole the art and modified it in the first place...) You said it's "not yours"...who then...???)

I'm really surprised you even posted it here...makes me wonder what else of mine has been ripped off...

R-

 

Rollie.. that is awesome. I might need you to do the seat of my pants after laughing so hard.

 

Britt8m, Dutch Courage, Slide, Hidden you guys rule...Acrochicken that deck is killer...new product line? Everybody else thanks for sharing!

 

very great carved and love it !

 

I agree with 40studedude. Stealing = bad ju ju.

 

Thanks man we should have ten new ones by this weekend.....including one of Gregs(RoughStockSilver) wife

 

Zombie, thats amazing...

 

Thanks Chad. that surf truck is pretty sweet as well.

 

I'm always impressed with the talent here!
natas, that's a great image - is it a photo, or super tight painting?
and my hat's off to mckustoms. carving wood takes patience!
Here's a bronze shift knob I made, worked directly in the wax, so it's the only one:

 

here's a helmet i just finished for a customer, and a tear drop trailer i did for a guy in my club.

 

I give you six this week. these are all older photos! Enjoy. Great art this week again everyone!!!

To all... Nice stuff folks! I'm really enjoying your art show

 

Yes its something new we are doing for our booth at shows everyone seems to be bored with regular framed art

 

It is a photo. Used a heavy polarizing filter and a light reflector to really light the rubber up. I did do a little photoshop work darkening up the pavement a little and shifting the hue of the sky, otherwise it's all photo.

Also, I've done some bronze in the past, fun stuff, Looks good.

Thanks I appreciate the compliment.
This is a couple repeats from about 3years ago, but these are my Fav. No photoshop here.

 

Great show as always, this is a hood I just finished for a local VW dealership. Still has to be clearcoated.

 

Nice stuff Natas!!!

 

Another great friday on the Hamb great job everyone and Acrochicken I have to ask what are those skate decks going to run that thing is awesome!I busted ass on this last night just to have something for the art show its not finished I still have to put some clear over it with a little bit of silver baby flake but its done enough to post.

 

Maybe this doesn't belong on a hot rod post but......(Jeff, I posted before I'd read you comment, sorry.)

Kind of a repost but more complete. This is the beginning of a series I started years ago.
I know it resembles a T'bird/'Vette hybrid but that's partially intended.

More on that later...( must speak to the moderator before I go any further with this.)

BETA PROJECT (prototype car No.1)

 

That one is fine by me Mark. Excellent work!

 

This is nothing compared to some of the work done here but I figured I would share this. The artist and I co-designed my tattoo and I had it done last Sept.

 

GaryC, NATAS, Zombie, Creature, LowCab, etc., etc. etc. great show everyone.

Sonny D, That hood is beautiful. Great score on the job!

40StudeDude You've said it perfectly.

I reserve the right to make my own coloring book using my own art, thank you very much.

Thanks for the good word Gary. This is from my design studio and was proposed
9 years before I was born. Imagine that?!

Kruhe67 How about you share with us all the "borrowed" art you've used over on the F.A.S.T. group so we can see what you've been up to.
Ask permission, that's a good place to start.

 

Awesome stuff from everyone...Natas, post#48 is wicked... Chad Lampert, dig your work....Rollies stuff always rules....DHP NM, that's some fine lines on the bowlin' pin...Acrochicken, that deck is killer!!!

 

Natas some killer work as usual

 

i am sure someone has already asked, but Chicken... where can I get my hands on one of those decks??

 

We are going to be selling them in our booth at various shows plus if someone wants we can mail them out.

I will have the first run of them to post up for next weeks art show

 

sounds good!

 

this is such a cool picture, I've had to come back to it about 8 times now. awesome feel. sweet perspective (kinda like a chihuahua sneakin' up on a bear) Awesome.
