"SHO-Down"
1969 F250 Crew Cab Custom Truck
Every now and then I'm inspired by one of my friends sketches. So much so that I want to see it as a more realistic rendering. Dave Walters, one of my fellow car artists, sketched this concept. I thought it was such a cool idea that I asked him if I could do a rendering of it. Dave kindly agreed and that's what you see here. You'll notice Dave's small sketch at the left. I really like how he extended the rocker panels and turned them into a pseudo-body kit. Chopped and sectioned and shortened lengthwise, through the cab, nets some really big doors and a low-down stance. Power would be from a Taurus SHO mounted mid-ship.
Thanks Dave.

 

Cool Gary. Saw one of those trucks under construction last weekend- it caught my eye.
It was at the indoor show where I drew this- 'great grand-dad's bought new '56 Chevy. I was in a hurry to finish as the show wound down around me. I like the result. The grille bars were scary to render fast.

 

Very nice Gary.

Killer sketch Steve. Been working on a pair of ’55 Chevys myself. Inking it up now...


This week I wrapped on some art for a client that I can’t fully reveal until it is published but I think I’m safe in sharing a couple cropped details this week.


A little tail...

 

And how about a bunch of little doodles from time gone by...





And, maybe, just one more T’bird...

 

Mark, nice details on the close ups.

Acquired a new digital SLR camera. Tried it out at a Corvette gathering last weekend.

 

Awesome work!
Here's a few from me, from a show last weekend.

 

You always come up with such great ideas Gary, good to see you developing someone else's ideas too.

 

GaryC.: Bad ***... thanks to Dave, too!
Spoggie: Beautiful rendering and grille bars!
Jigger: Nice! I dig the color, stripes, dot, eyes and smile Doodles are Dandy!
selectedgrub: Cool stuff!
57 Corvette~Bob: BIG beautiful roadster!
Jokem59: Nice monoscheme!

I'll see you guys again later... but now it's time to ..."Take Flight"... and be off to work

 

GARY - Cool design!
SPOGGIE - My favorite cars - 55 & 56 Chevys!
JIGGER - T Bird? Show us the upcoming 55's!
57 CORVETTE - Bob, cl***y capture!
CRUSIN' - Love the 55!

 

Some stuff out of the past: A flame job I did on a friend's 27 T roadster in the winter of 1974. There was no heat in the garage so we moved the car into his living room. Sprayed in yellow,orange,& red alkyld enamel.I think the overspray still shows up when his wife is cleaning.
The sculpture was created from a wooden decoy using stainless steel spatulas,hand-made wooden striping brushes,a piece of foreign currency and an aluminum push pin(the spike on top of his head).

 

...another cool FAS,...here's a quick sketch of Mike Zettle's Falcon project,....
...then a couple sketches of my next project, a 50 Plymouth,...which way should I go?

 

As always, great stuff. I won't "duck' any issues.
Later,

Here is a hubcap that I painted for a buddy, Sololobo, here on the H.A.M.B. His car club, The So. Omaha Turds is having a car show this Sunday and it will be a gift. Hope he likes it. Gary

 

My artwork for the week. Really like the Von Duck.

 

Exceptional Steve! Love the detail and overall look.

 

Thanks Dan. Thanks Jigger, thanks Robber & others


p.s; Rusty1- I vote kustom

 

Don't have anything new this week, so I decided to try cropping an old piece tighter, I think it's an improvement.
