Jimmy Smith (aka JEEM on the HAMB) does fantastic work.... here is one he did for me recently...

Here's a brainwave for my Dodge...

And a concept for a fellow hamber...

 

Yes he does!! Check out the latest issue of Rod and Custom Magazine with the Hemrod on the cover. Awesome design by Jimmy Smith.

 

A little something I am planning to build soon. Been gathering the parts first

 

I like that - it´s got something of a Dan Woods/Ice Truck look going on. Also the idea of putting an aero track nose on something the shape of a phone booth is pretty cool.

 

Couple of mine, from a long time ago...

 

I'm not much for drawing,I did manage to meet Homer LaG***ey up here in the sticks,He designed many cars for Chrysler,Then went to Ford,Nice guy,Studio has a lot of cool concept drawings going back to the 40's
Going to see if I can track him down again

 

Wow, those Bob Thrash drawings are real cool. Here are some drawings done by Chip Foose.

 

Here's my feeble attempt. It's funny, because I can carve things, and shape things, but for some reason I just can't translate 3-d into 2-d. Please excuse the cow catcher, and the kaiser dragon door...

 

Anybody have an idea what artists are charging to do these concepts?

 

I know when i did em when i was 16 for O/T vehicles i charged $120 a view, took me about an hour and a half per view after i had the prelim. sketch done. I'd still do it if i even had the time anymore. I'll have to scan some recent quickies i've done tomorrow when i'm back at work.

 

Here's sorta where I am going.

 

A cool site I just ran across while searching for artist renderings. http://www.garagescene.net/gallery2/main.php

 

heres just a few of the ones ive been doing for my kaiser build got a stack of paper that keeps growing as the plans change... the fiances 31 buick project is next on the drawing board, who knows maybe i'll dust off the markers if i can even find them



the overall


dash ideas




grille bar idea

 

Heres a few I've done

 

How about a Stude........................

 

Yes, I would love to have one done for my 63 Galaxie Convertible.......someday....

 

Hell Ya, inkmunky! Those are some nice drawings you've got there and some talent for sure.

 

thanks man. Industrial Designer by trade, tattoo artist by choice, artist by birth is how i like to think of it. I'll dust off the markers and paper and see what i can come up with tomorrow at work during my off hours.

 

here is a chopped, sectioned, flattened, lowered 50 Ford woody:

 

Those are nice Inkmunky! did you use a ballpoint?
Clean style

 

a drawing i did a few months ago, as you can I aint to go good

 

Yup just regular bic ballpoints. I try only to use markers or ballpoints forces me to not erase my "mistakes" and just move on.

 

Here's another one that Foose did of a Lincoln Great canvas right

 

The tough part is getting through to a good artist. When I started my woodie project, I put out a whole bunch of feelers looking for concept art. I got a bunch of no replys and refusals and that's before any money talk even started. I have a pro builder buddy that works regularily with Foose. I could have gone that way, but I would have had to wait at least 2 years. I cooldn't wait that long.

 

It's a lot like prices for body and paint -- from $30.00 an hour (if there is such a low price in the body and paint business...!!!) up to $160.00 an hour in a "Pro" shop. It varies with each artist, depending on their "name" -- if they are known locally, or nationally, or known in the industry, or if they are just starting out...

Best you can do is contact them and ask...

R-

 

MAN....there are some rides here that need to be created!

 

Very nice drawings!

 

Not exactly HAMB friendly but a nice illustration nonetheless:An illustration in pen,watercolor,and airbrush by someone named Grant;found at a flea market framed for $10.

 

I cant draw worth a **** but here is what the Rikster did for us on our under construction 36 roadster he's great to work with & very reasonable for what you get. This will have about 100 body modifications to build.
