Art & Inspiration How about a F R I D A Y * A R T * S H O W 1-27-2012

Here are a few I've been working on as of late...
The first is a cheapy plastic plate used each night as a warmup panel to get the brush working right, I just put one color down on this each night to warm up.

The next is a panel sent to Cassandra Seth to auction this weekend in Pittsburgh for the Autism Society of Pittsburgh, hope they do well.

This is my effort for John Wells and the Vintage Torque Fest this year, I'd like to introduce you to Polar Fink, seemed fitting since I'm typing from the great North!

Lastly is a shot of both mine and my brother Ace with both of our Finks.....Thanks for the opportunity John, love working with you brother!

 

Here are a few things that I have been working on. Trying to find time is getting harder...LOL!!!!

A lot of nice stuff already!

1.-Is a old box with flat white enamel paint.
2.-A old style Merc Sign.
3.-A funny I did for a friend in Va. It was how I used to answer the phone when it was someone I did know.

 

4 pages and only 6Am on the West Coast. Great show so far. I thought I'd post some progress photos of Dmitry's Bomb knob. It would have been done, today, but the Wimp's sick I sketched this about a year ago, not exactly like the sketch but close.

 

Stunning stuff this week especially from Mr Norwell and Mr Grant. Here's this weeks inky activity from the Squires Studio:


Eyes On The Prize
(Indian Ink on A3 Bristol Board)




Board track Racers
(A5 Monoprints on Ink Sketch)

Don't even know where to begin, way too many awesome things this week! I dig the rock n' roll and vintage bike vibe that appears to be going on this week.

 

I've been absent a bit recently due to my Mom's passing on December 7th. Yesterday I just found out I have cancer. It's in it's early stages (prostrate) and the doctor said it is quite treatable...

Here's a few photos from past Atlantic Nationals in Moncton, New Brunswick...

Here's is another item to share.


Kenmo- Sorry for your loss and for the bad news. Goodnews is that it was found early. I lost my Dad to lung cancer from working in a steel mill when he was younger. Cancer, if found can be treated so stay with it. I miss my Dad everyday and think back on all the carshows and races we went to.

Jigger, this is way cool.

 

Johnny, this is very cool work .........
