Jazz and Hot Rods
Think about it. These are the only two, unique, American art forms.
Both, lyrical and smooth, powerful and edgy.

The Pierson Brothers 34 Ford coupe was all of that.
In a time when only roadster were considered hot rods, this
star spangled coupe hit the salt. Few of the cars in the early days
of dry lakes and salt flats racing were even painted. Kandy Blue
and Red over white, a 9" chop, and meticulous craftsmanship
set this car apart from everything else. It began it's racing career
on the streets of the 50's, and on its first dry lakes runs was quickly
up to 150 mph. Various owners and engine combinations propelled
the car to well over 200 mph. It was retired from active racing in
the early 1990s. It's now restored to an absolutely jewel-like condition.

I'm thinking of doing a series of illustrations called
"Legends of Hot Rodding". Let's call this one the first!

 

I've been working on the new flyer for our upcoming open house in May, and thought it would be pretty cool to incorporate some old ads in it... check it out

Wow, what a great start to this week's show. Nice work everyone!

Here are the companions to that chev P/U I posted last week.

 

Here's what I've done this week. Henry Hirise - a classic British street gasser.

 

Man, that's gorgeous! I particularly like the texture on the carb. I bet it is even better to behold in real life.

 

Nope....its THE classic British street gasser...

And when are you selling em?

 

two skates just finished
