Art & Inspiration >>>>>friday art show 12/12/08<<<<<

Seriously great work everyone, so much talent on all levels here.

This is an A-2 flight jacket I did for a customer... His wife's name is Terrie and it's meant replicate a particular medium bomber group in WW2.

 

Luckstrike, Diggin the Tiki. Another GREAT Friday artshow. Thanks to all Artists

 

WHAT A PHENOMENAL SHOW THIS WEEK, FOLKS!!!

Found my old logo from a while back, as well as an old b/w piece. I'll have something recent for you soon.

Wow, I just got up and the Art Show is really rockin'! There's a ton of great work on here today you guys. I am always amazed at what is posted here.

Rocky Burris: Your work on that ride is OUTSTANDING! Congratulations! I know that's alot of hardwork and passion.

I don't have anything new to present. But, I want to share some work by one of our Chicago Brushmasters brothers. One of our more prolific automotive artists is Jim Brandolino, aka Brando. Jim still operates with 1Shot and brushes, no computers or vinyl for this guy. While working in California in the early '80's, he lettered many, many of the top Funny Cars of that era. He's super talented and a great guy.

Recently while visiting the Roadster Shop in Mundelein, Il., I spied some of Brando's hand lettering and pinstriping on two "aircraft carrier" sized tool centers. I'll let the pics speak for themselves now.

Great show you guys! Enjoy...





I dig this Babe, sorry for the pic being a tad blurry.







Dig it!

By the way, killer jacket Cheater Rome.

 

Great stuff eeveryone, there are just to damn many of you for me to type your names this morning.

 

It's really great stuff this week, ALL of it! I'll have to come back more often.

 

This is unreal. The clarity on this rough suface is flat amazing.

 

There are just to much too list as usual, great art folks! Oh yes, thanks for comments, appreciate it! About prints, yes, i am on it! Prints of my other work and t-shirts as well, but i takes a while for some stupid reason...murphy's law or something!

 

I'm having a week off this week so I'll just give a few congrats for great work -
GaryC - Love the concept
DutchCourage - You really nailed that traitional look
ToddJ - Like the Elco
Zombie - Haven't you been busy (especially like the 38 Coupe)
Realkustom51 - Nice pen & inks
Metalhotrodgirl - Great photos
Sonny Depalma - brilliant model (crazy - but in a good way)
ewt2 - just genius
artboy - love the style

 

Just a correction. If I show off any art, then it's not my art, it's my brothers art (customcory). See, I'm a thief and I steal his art and put it on HAMB. I like to stir things up. So the Thanks you gave to realkustom51 will be relayed to my bro cory. And I know he really appreciates it.
See, his drawing office is where ever he happens to be in the shop and what ever kind of pencil and paper is laying around. So I got this stuff pilling up everywhere for years.
I cant draw for shit and if you see any entry on the art show from me then you all will know it's violently stolen from my brother (customcory) and is being put on HAMB without his permission. Yeah he gets pissed. Wanna fight?
ps... Hats off to everybodys entries. Folks all over the world know about Art Show Friday.

 

You folks are simply amazing! Jeral, Del, Ger, et al...DANG! Well, here's a poster I made a couple months ago.

Bill

 

And another.

 

Fantastic Bill!

 

I found an effects feature in a photo program I have tried it out on this, kinda neat, I think.

 

Great Show! Here are a couple of practice leather pieces I did, hope to tool my own motorcycle seat soon.

 

Nice work Cad Guy
