    I leave Thurs morning for Detroit, so I won't get to post these on the Friday Art show. I did them over the last two days.. Wish I didn't need to do them at all.:cool:

    Both painting will be signed by TOP BUILDERS and VERY CLOSE FRIENDS to Boyd and Lil John.

    These will go through the Pinstripers auction on Sat afternoon. There for a great cause. Good luck bidding if your there.

    Anyone want to repost these in the fri. art show.. Feel free. I would appreciate it.

    They turned out pretty good for a rush job. There both candy over flake gold base. And both have Pearl Lace that is only visible in person.. (you can see a little of it at the top of the BOYD one) These pictures are before CLEAR. There is to much flake to photograph with clear..

    All House of Kolor, Silver and Gold leaf. All done with a brush.. (no airbrushing)

    Enjoy..

    Those are totally AWESOME Josh. Those would be perfect for DOC.'s art collection. I do believe I will help him spend his money on those. :D I can see both of those being record breakers for anything that's ever been auctioned off there. You did a wonderful thing.

    Amazing! Top notch lettering and graphic skills there! They both would be proud, and I can guarantee you these will auction off for heavy coin!

    If it goes to print I'd sign up for one of the Lil John paintings as well. Both are excellent.

    Stirs the emotions.................. well done Sir!

    I'd also be interested in a Lil John print, if one comes out.

    You nailed it man.....

    Very nice. Very cl***y. Everyone should see these.
     
  20. Gorgeous work for sure, Josh! Yes, it's a shame to see these talented builders go before what seems to be their time...

    RIP

    Excellent artwork Josh, and the striping on Rudy's car turned out great too... The sprint car for your Dad, where does it end?

    You are a true craftsman. -Joe
