The Friday Art Show

Hi all!
I'm writing an article for the Swedish-made magazine "American Trails" about Ed Roth/Rat Fink/Low Brow Art, and I'm looking to get in touch with Ed "Newt" Newton. Posting here is kind of a long shot, but I'm sure someone here knows him. We would love to have some of his art in the article, and also a short quote.

Throwing in a quick n' dirty sketch that I did recently.

 

Got a start of a hand for Lucky . The little ball peen hammer I made in machine shop at VoTech in 1980

 

Good luck, how about posting a link to get the “American Trails” magazine?

Thanks
Dan

 

Howdy FAS-T folk. The '50 Mercury was entered in the Gene Winfield tribute FFAFF model car build- off. Which was a
lil' unfair as I started on it in 2007 when I opened the kit box and found it a lil' boring. So I cut it up.

Hi Dan!
Here's the link. I would love to spread it in this gruop, but it's not a car magazine, more of "people, places and passions" as our payoff says. It's very nice and we've won multiple prizes for the design (and content). Please go ahead and flip through the latest issue. We have subscribers world wide.

You have a very nice magazine! I think it is somewhat car related as the articles are about people, places and things to see here in US. Road trip stuff in my opinion.
As far as Roth stuff goes you may talk to @Moriarity , Mark is a walking encyclopedia on this stuff.

Thanks Dan!
Yeah, the magazine is very much a "Road Trip" –style magazine, and the editor want more classic cars/Customs/Rods in it, but it won't be in-depth about the cars, more about the people. Still: There's alot of great stories about people and places. And I have a bunch of passionate people that I want to visit and write about when I get back to the US eventually.
I'll try to get in touch with Moriarity. Thanks for the tip! Really appreciated!

 

My dad and his buddy crashed a J3 Cub many years ago flying a search and rescue mission for the Minnesota Civil Air Patrol.
They got lost in poor vis and ran out of fuel.
They did a forced landing in a farmer's field and flipped the plane upside down. Most of the damage was done when the farmer ran up the wing to see if they were ok.
