Art & Inspiration ##the Early Artsy Show##

the french publisher obviously knew dick shit...dont ever remember seeing a graphic novel with a compelling storyline.......surely its all about the artwork....and that certainly has the artwork

that's no lie. that's beautifully done. guys's work looks like some of the best pencilling I've seen post Will Eisner. speaking of pencil, your Ford looks smooth and lovely, Tim.

Jeff, we should put together some kind of Art Fitzpatrick gallery for the art show one of these days. he's Godhead. for those of you who don't know his name or work, he did an astounding job on GM ads between '60 and '70 or thereabouts.

I've got some things I can't post before publication so I have to hold off on 'em. this I dug up from last, what, October's R+C. part Pierson Bros. coupe, part- ech- Zipp coupe. that was the assignment...

 

Hey...the story wasn't THAT bad!
I thought the chain gangs, drag races and knife fights I put were cool. Too much reality and not enough poodle skirts I guess.
On with today's show...

 

I know this one...




Ok... my work of this past week:
A heavily Makoto inspired "fortune cat"

With as a theme, the '51 chevy of a friend.

 

motorcycle done the past weekend

 

....BOMBS-A-WAY!!!--Art show---An illustration & my car on my jacket

 

My little piece for the week. Just screwin' around practicing for the Autorama.


Mike Lavallee I ain't

 

You're askin' for it Pal! Gonna have to wait 'til later this evening, you'll have something to see bright and early for all you folks east of the Rio Grande (that's a river, you funny Canuck'ster!)

 

Since the coupe's blown apart...more fodder for the "ANATOMY OF A HOTROD"

 

Business manager?...I don't think you could afford me, I drink expensive beer.

 

Cool Art Show again, but that has become pretty much expected, eh? Thought I'd clutter it up a little with my latest Desk Top Art Work rendition. This one is # 75 in the series. It is my rendition of a "C" cab delivery truck hot rod. It is 9 1/2" long, 4 1/2" wide, and about 4 1/4" high. This ordered Art Work is heading for Florida.

Hey, thanks, coming from you that means a lot.

The C cab came out real good. Wouldn't of ever thought of doing one before I was asked to! Just never occured to me. Some of my little cars come out real well, some probably shouldn't see the light of day...Those 50s and 60s cars are a pita to do.

Some newer stuff

Matching cherries for the kitchen. 1shot on canvas. Same cherries as my girlfriends tattoo.



a bird. 1shot on plexi w/ a paper background.

 

COOL!...keep 'em comin'...

 

Gene, this C Cab turned out exactly as I expected. I imagined it in bare metal and you hit the nail on the head. You should do more of these custom rod types, you are truely great at it. Ever see that T-Bucket with the German Helmet, wonder how that would turn out? Here are a few famous models made by Tom Daniel.

 

A quick sketch I did during lunch at work.

brush i had this somewhere in black and white before you colored it... you should post that I thought it ruled... the finish product rules but the drawing was insane.

 

paintings for class

 

Blacksteelies...that is a ten out of ten man....uhh x4 I guess.

But that inspires me - I got ideas running out of my ears thanks to that.

...just wish I had some paints around here.


Love the consistent quality guys (and ladies). Pat's-on-the-back deserved all around.

 

I'll give this a shot, Jeffe.
One from a while back....

 

my first atempt at doing a piece with a calagraphy pen and a jar of ink.





and some close ups

 

Nice art. I like the graphic novel panels. I know I would buy a hot rod graphic novel
