Seems I'm never home enough lately to get anything done.

Here's a bike helmet I did for a local kid. Kind of a quickie job but OK I guess. (pushbike not motorised, rules here are that anybody riding a bike must wear head protection.)





And since I still have a bunch of these toolboxes on hand, I figured I'd do a few and give them to my mates.

 

Great work again this week everybody...

N8 you rock!

I got a wild hair up my ass this week and came up with a business card design. Talk about putting the cart before the horse, I got a lot of practice do to before I start taking my pinstriping this seriously but at least it gave me a chance to play with illustrator some more.

Please don't take this as an attempt at spamming the board. I just wanted to share the design. In fact if you do call or email me for a job you will get turned down. I'm still in training.

Thanks to SteelePheonix, Dave and the rest of the gang over a SketchKult for helping me refine the design.

 

illustration i did from the 2005 Gasser Mag Reunion.. love the gassers

This is a cold casting. Its cold cast iron (just for fun). I'm calling it 'Skullduggery'. Its about 8 or 9 inches long and I have it mounted on 3/4 inch black acrylic.

A quick picture I whipped out during my lunch break at work today.

I cast these from my silicone mold using Hydrocal, a very hard, smooth plaster - they are pretty good. A few pinholes, but nothing that can't be fixed easily. I plan to try a few different finishing techniques - faux bronze - maybe an acrylic color wash?

Anyone have any ideas about a finish?

The finished roadster is made of cold cast bronze - a resin with bronze powder. I am trying to find a good deal on the stuff needed for this method, but the Hydrocal ones are pretty good.

Finally back from the chrome shop, so I have something to post: a "sculpture" I made for the front of a '37 dodge.







3/16 flat stock and 3/16 round bar. Outer frame formed on helve hammer (with a little heat persuasion). Chromed at Dirty Joe's in Dallas.

 

Welding helmet I started on this morning. Going to add a second colour tonight, probably white or silver.

 

I don't often post on the Friday art show, cause I'm not very artistic.
But here's a great srt post for Easter!
I do these Easter eggs every year, mostly give them out to friends and family on the holiday.
My grandmother came from the Ukraine, and taught me and my sister how to meke them. Quickly, they are "painted" on with melted wax. The wax preserves whatever color is on them, like the fist round, is the basic white of the shell. Next the egg is dipped in a light color, usually yellow, and drawn on again, preserving the yellow (kinda like masking off graphics on a car). Then to orange, red, blue, whatever. The last color is usually dark. Then the wax is melted off, the egg blown out, and varnish applied to give it shine and protection.
Here are the last ones I did this year as the varnish dries.
Happy Easter HAMB!
BTW, these eggs have the 00Mack seal of approval! He digs them!

 

Those eggs rule man, Great job!
Some art I just got.

 

those eggs are just the dogs bollocks (in the UK that's good, very good)

 

I picked up a copy of Von Franco’s' "I Was a Teenage Monster Shirt Painter" From Evel at the Roundup.

Went and got some spray cans and markers.

Man, like I need another hobby.

Sure having fun with it.

 

ntxcustoms - Nice work on the grille! Would make a great tech article.
