i was at work today and my friend Sonny DePalma stopped by to show me his new hood art.. it is done on his daily driver a Magnum...yes he has a couple of hot rods too. check out the minut details...very kool i think.. he told me he has at least 250 Hrs into it..sheesh i would be blind by the end!
i can ask him..but i am not too firmiliar with the types of paint.. i know he airbrushed some and hand painted most of it...
that's kinda..... FREAKIN AWESOME!!!! Amazing work. I dig it. It's a shame it's not on something I own though.
EVERYTHING Sonny does is inspirational .....Heres a model he painted... If I had his talent I'd burn mine...........
The thing I see here is not just a hotdamn kool imagination but all the artistic talent to make it happen. Impressed doesn't begin to describe this work. Suggestion........I know it's on a hood but if you can get a sharp snapshot of it and make prints I would think you could sell a hellofa lot and I am first in line to buy one. I hope your buddy is makin his livin doin this cause if not he is sure missin his future.
F'ing outstanding........... and all I can do use crayons......and still can't stay in the lines! Bill
dickster27 he has been doin this type of art since early 70`s.he is well known in the underground art scene.he was on Discovery Channel Biker Buildoff he painted Eddie Trottas motorcycle with 200 skulls.he is a very modest person very very low key.he is a great person and easy to talk to.well anyways that is a little back ground.Thanks for the nice comments.
Depalma KICKS ASS.....Man everything I have seen that cat do is.....puuurr-fect! Very nice hood! Squigy drag him out to the Rumblers gig.
its tough but i will ask him to.he gets bikes to paint and gets so involved with that it is hard to get him out to anything.but i will ask.. how you been?
may i just add.... thats fking nuts!!!!i couldnt even begin to do that... the only thing i can draw is FLYZ......
