Art & Inspiration Posters in the garage

Looking for car-related posters. My garage isn't even finished yet, but I'm still thinking about what might look good on the walls. I actually got 'inspired' a couple of days ago when I saw one of our HAMB brothers' avatar with about 5 guys under the hood of an old rod looking like they were discussing the solution to a problem. Anyway, our local Denny's has a poster of this same shot but the manager has no idea where it came from. It would be nice to get hold of this poster in particular, but I'm up for checking out any car/garage related poster stuff if anybody has an idea.

 

Check out Cris Frogett web page at Atomic Rooster,I,ve got a few of his illustrations,

 

is this it, dad has it hanging in his garage(found it at a estate sale) i scanned it, should be good to go to 8x10 with it getting fuzzy...

I have all my Rodders Journal posters put up, and many tin signs, and a big Rob't Willams print

 

I like old stuff. this one is 22x34"



I got 3 of these.. each with a different saying on them


how 'bout a giant banner from 1952?

 

i found mine at a swapmeet. guy had all kinds of art for the shop... see it in upper left....

 

Just a word of advice. Don't worry about posters until you've actually moved all your car related stuff in. You'll quickly learn there isn't much room for posters. -stick

 

PPG has some cool posters done by Darrell Mayaab ( aka Charlie Cruzz ) check out maybe their web site or Darrells if he has one. Got most of mine @ Back to the 50's

 

Robert Williams - Hot Rod Race

 

I like that pic of the guys under the hood of the 51' Merc. Where can I get one like that?.....I have a 51' Merc. and that would look kick *** in my garage.

 

Im posterless ,Just dust collectors in my opinion ,I use to have posters up till I made my garage into a working booth .I am enjoying this thread ,I do miss my posters and looking at something besides white walls and ceilings .At least my wife lets me share a room with my car related stuff in it .Models and pictures ....

 

weezner has some awsome stuff too

 

Robert Williams - devil with a hamer and blow torch

 

ARCA39 - That's the one! Thanks. An 8 x 10 will do til I find a poster size.

Stick - I know what you're saying. Any display area will certainly be limited, but that poster is a must-have for me. It just says "my own little slice of Heaven" to me.

 

I've got a garage full of stuff,....posters, metal signs (new and old), metal toys, etc. My wife imposed a $10 garage wall art limit. Never can tell where you are going to find the next gem. Friends just stare and say that they never noticed this or that before. My walls are constantly changing, when you get something better, something not so cool comes down. Try to remember to throw the sparks in the other direction. Old car trophies are cool also. My buddies bring stuff over all the time because they know I'll appreciate it. Have fun. Yea Weezner, Jeff Norwell, etc., there are a ton of awesome artist's out there. Gary

 

I wish I had a garage to hang my **** up in. License plates by the hundreds, street signs galour as well as various other metal signs. I finally put a full size Chrysler dealership sign up for auction cause I need the room.I envy you guys....

 

I will say to be mindful of putting a bunch of flamable stuff up on your walls where you'll be welding and grinding. I had a good look around my small garage one day and decided I needed to clean up shop before I burnt my damn house down, (attached garage.) Not to be a downer.
I do have a hot ***** on a metal Old English sign hanging in my garage. It has some kind of lowrider on it in the background. I pay it no mind.

 

I'm lucky enough to have the 'wall-estate' to put large ones up.
Working in a printshop can have it's advantages...

 

damn, thats cool!!!!!

I think you should stumble around the cl***ifieds and HAMB-O-Dex and get stuff from HAMB artists.

Help out the HAMB brothers! Honestly at this point, any artist you want to put on your walls is probably a HAMBer anyways!

 

Generl gow on the hamb makes real nice posters

 

The poster of the guys under the hood of the Mercury is from the Time-Life archive. My poster has a quote about friendship from President Wilson underneath and came from Hobby Lobby about seven years ago.

I was just recently going through one of my magazines and saw this poster for sale, but I can't remember which one!

 

Www.winecountrymotorsports.com they have a large selection

 

Some of mine..........

 

Not that posters aren't exciting...............but MY words of advice, pick a finished wall, paint a big fat rectangle in chalkboard paint. Add a shelf at the bottom and keep track of your ongoing projects. Think CHECKLIST!

I'm going to paint out a wall in mine, because LORD do I forget what's doing on what Poncho.

 

I have a huge 4ft x 8ft whiteboard on my wall just for things like that.
I forget things if I don't write them down.

 

Me too!!
