Art & Inspiration The Friday Art show!

Happy Friday to all of you.
This is a little drawing I did about 40 years ago, my poor attempt at a
38 "WHITE" fuel oil delivery tanker truck.
Thanks to all that contribute to the "FAS"
Thanks from Dennis.

Hello,

With the April “Easter” season around and the colleges/high school students are getting out for spring break, it was time to reflect on how a short “legal” 5 day vacation turned into a 11 day expanded vacation for us. As teens, leaving Thursday night at midnight allowed us to arrive in our secret (back then) locations around 4 to 5 a.m. It was just in time to check out the waves and then take a well deserved nap prior to paddling out at the crack of dawn.

Baja, Mexico is not a city, but a whole coastline of various surf spots from the border down to unexplored areas back then. These days, almost every spot has been surfed and has a web cam or surf report for travelers. So much for private surfing in unchartered waters…

But, for us, no more crowded Huntington Beach Pier surfing crowds was a welcoming adventure. Despite the long drive, we all knew the resulting vacation days would be spent surfing, napping, eating great food by the ocean and just relaxing in a relatively unchartered area, ripe for discovery. "No more teachers, no more books...etc." we all know the rest...

The chocolate we bought down there was sweet, but nothing like the ones we brought with us for those tasty snacks sitting around the fire after dinner. Chocolate, Cokes and beer for the older guys, what a combo… Surfing, hot rod surf adventures, discoveries and the general atmosphere of being away from our restrictive teenage lives, made it all worth the extra effort to be the firsts ones to discover our surf spots... And no limit as to having a curfew or to get out of the water to go home for school classes the next day...YRMV

 

Happy days !

Happy Friday folks. Its been a while since I posted so I thought I better get back in here. A few of you guys might be familiar with these characters.
The Rat Pack only has "moon eyes" for you.

 

Some awards that I made and Alan Childers drew on for the SWMO Hot Rod Hundred this weekend. This year is the 10th one we have done in SWMO.



And, an artsy pic headed that way.

 

TY all,

 

playing around with trunk lid

 

Looks like the Fink hijacked Pinkies truck and smells bacon for breakfast!

 

That is cool!

 

I see what you did there, wouldn't exactly call it fuel oil though!

 

You will have to pardon, my electric Cheshire grin! It's the 70 year old hippie in me, that still occupys a certain time period from the past!

 

Been busy this last week

 

Peter Rabbit couldn’t decide which longroof to use to deliver the fragile and ever more expensive eggs and candies to the kiddies… thus making him late to the party. Happy Easter and all that gang! Safe travels travels travelers.



Peter’s chauffeur…

 

Thank You everyone for sharing Your talents

 

Y'ALL DON'T KNOW JACK...

Introducing... "Mr. Jack Rabbit"...

Any similarity between him and yours truly is purely coincidental. You can't see from this angle, but on one radio knob he hangs one of those little tree fragrance doodads… “Ode De Burrow”. On the other knob he hangs his lucky people’s foot… which happens to be dyed fluorescent lime green… size 8... If you wished that I had not posted this, I don’t want to hear a Peep

 

Mercs Art

 

I posted this under an older thread earlier in the week. I am not much of an artist but I had some fun with some left over piece that were not useable. I plan to make it portable to change its location easily

 

Just a thought to ponder on that cool yard art. Get two or three cheap strings of solar powered LED lights, and put them inside of the cab so that at night time, the cab will light up, there is a lot of possibility there!
Thanks from Dennis.

 

Diggin’ it @Vonzemo ! Sophia is not impressed. nice caricature work and the deuce is boss!
