///////Friday Art Show 9-20-07/////

Another *****in show this week guys...all the pinstripers are a real inspiration to me. Rollie, Ray, 2Tall incredible...Mask I'm really digging the skulls in the background.

Coop....good to see you posting on the HAMB the last few weeks...always dig yer stuff.

Hey philo...I got a red and white 56 4 door...so I'm lovin yer nomad...is it for sale or maybe a trade?

This is all I have to share this week. It's nothing fancy as far as the striping goes but it was still a lot of fun.

 

not car related but you know....

 

That Edsel grill is killer!

 

A few Panels

 

Looks awesome....and are thos The Ace Cafe windows I see reflected in the paint?

 

I bet you want to kick yourself for not buying that thing for $500 bucks. I sure would!

 

thanks man, i wish i could take credit for the design but i borrowed the idea (grille) from fellow hamber Janne's t coupe, his car inspired me to draw that.

 

Here is some stuff just for laughs... the ink drawing is a snipet of something bigger, jacked up Model A, and the results of cat piss over time. Enjoy, some of you may have not seen this before, it's old stuff. Keep it going I had another new drawing, but I ain't got enough hours in the day this week.Everybody...keep on keepin on....

 

Cat Piss??? thats some funny **** right there

 

Cory
Redo it BIG and color it real good; this may be one of your coolest yet.
It deserves to be recognised (with respect to all your previous posts.)

 

Heres one from me, just made the print last night....ahhhhh I love the smell of fixer in the morning...smells like...creativity.

 

Thanks man! More paintings soon...

my small contribution

 

Coop - you're my hero.

 

coop ...how long would that take to complete?

 

Somewhere between two weeks and a month, depending on how lazy I am at the time. That doesn't count the prep time involved in drawing the preliminary drawings and planning out the whole thing.

This one took almost a year:

This is a 24-foot section of the completed 78-foot long painting!

 

The "DORF" van I posted this week was a**** the first drawings I'd done using Prisma colors. I'm thinking about posting others in the future.

 

Ain't no way in hell I'd have the patience to spend a YEAR on a painting...it's bad enuff I want to see the finished product just hours after I get the ruff done...but a year...??? Never for me...

Amazing stuff you do for sure...

Customcory made this coat rack back in the late 80's. Now it sits on the wall at my back door and holds all the utensils I need to ward off the rac****s that come around at night.

 

Coop,
on your large paintings, why do you always lay blue down before you go over it with black?
I'm curious
thanks,
CAB (using my buddy's computer)

 

Coop. You forgot to add the broken leg too that kept ya from this awesome piece. KNUX!

I do the underpainting in ultramarine blue first as a guide to lay in all the areas of color, then lay the black line on top of that. The ivory black is a little brown when you lay it down on white, but over the dark blue it has a richer more solid look on the canvas.

 

Quite a few times I do an underpainting so that in a few spots the underpainting color peeks through. This helps when using black and keeps the black color from looking so dull. I never use an actual black as I always mix in a color of some kind. As Coop said it gives a richer look. A for instance when painting on a background that is not white I will do an underpainting of white to make the colors pop more or they wind up looking very dull in color.
