Art & Inspiration *****DAS Friday Art Show*****

some striping/flames on my nephews pedalcar

 

Here is my latest PENCIL commissioned piece. The client wanted a tanker truck w/his logo on it and this is what I have. He really enjoyed it, hope you do also. Thanks for looking, Nate

 

cixpac, thanks! I try my best to…though sometimes i feel i could do better…

 

Love the "stream of conscious" Todd!


I did a handful of bikes this week:

"Shapeshifter" A Triumph for this week's charity auction.



"Minerva" A commissioned '06 HD



"Mr. Clean" A sporty



-Josh

 

Here is my helmet for http://www.vintagetorquefest.com/. I hope by now you all know what that is. John Wells and Jimmy Flinstone Studio are providing the helmets and let the artist do whatever they want on it. It is going to be awesome!! There have already been some on the F.A.S. Well since the show is going to help his daughter Hannah,http://Helpinghannahsheart.org I thought I'd do something special for John since he's such a great guy!
The whole helmet is done in ink and pencil. It was the most challenging thing I've drawn on!! After I painted it I started on the pencil and soon learned that when I tried to erase a mistake it smudged. So no mistakes. The dragster is supposed to look like my skratchboard. The inside is all the sponsors for the show. I'll quit babbling, Hope you enjoy. Nate Grice

 

As usual the customer stuff isn't really HAMB friendly, but here's the latest one I finished:


And then I've resolved to start working on doing some HAMB friendly stuff for myself and challenge myself to improve my art. To that end I've started sketching on rods I would build if I had $$$. First a Slant 6-powered track roadster:



It'll take a while before I can get this one into color... customer stuff always comes before personal stuff...

 

Killer as always. Thanks you guys. Awesome talent. Here are a few recent photos. See ya at Jalopy Showdown. Slim

 

Dude your art rules!
I love the 50s concept cars styling mixed w/ modern cartoonish effects.
The dog in the back of the wagoon is class!
Do you sell posters? im moving to the new house and the walls need this kinda stuff.

 

Heres a few pics from the Stray Kat road trip to wichita last year.

 

Wow! Some nice stuff already this week, starting from the very first post! Great photo, cool logo, fantastic sketches... You could take up a page just talking about how good the posts are this week.

Then again, sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Working on this piece made me feel like the bug. Originally started for the Easter weekend show (thus the colors), I'm still not totally happy with it. It is what it is...

 

Little bit of Show Rod throw back...

 

bitchin guy,s the art thread is my favorite friday thing to do

 

First of all, simply put, your painting kicks ass. What is your idea of a quick painting? How large a painting are we talking here? Don't get $$$ in your eyes, I'm no rich man, but do you do commissions? Great work.

 

Outstanding work this week everyone!

Dag-Lovin the lines man,

And-Great style you've got there!

Dutch-love the clean illustrations you pump out!

Not exactly hot rod related for me this week...just an in progress of an illustration I've been working on in my free time.

 

Zombie, Ger, Chuck, Pontiacres, Toddster, Gary C., AND, Bomonster, DAG, Josh and everybody else, cool stuff this week. Coofee, Silence and the Friday Art Show, always look forward to it. Thanks for sharin.

 

Great show everyone! I haven't posted in a bit. Been doing some striping and lettering over the last couple of days...









and did a skate deck as a fund raising auction item for the folks over on Volksrods.com..

 

Great show so far!
And, Dirtydag, Zombie, -Doug-, much respect to you guys

 

Good looking show as always! My Easter weekend was spent drawing this all up:


It's the 2011 Torque Fest 'teaser' graphic.
The '40 Mercury


Chopper:

 

Nice stuff so far. Here's a couple.

 

My next build...37 Furd.

 

bonez, thanks! Appreciate a lot! Since it's kinda futuristic i had to add something complete opposite in it! I'm gonna have some prints for sale very soon now. About time i guess…

 

Sweet work soo far, everybody! WOO! FRIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Show rod heaven...or hell. All show. No go. Love 'em.

Sketched this up for fun...as previously seen on the 'burg.

 

Man this is a great show this week! Here are some new ones from me.


A little bit of Steam Train Steam Punk and WWII.



Dodge Swinger 1973, Galaxie 5 Oh Oh.



I know it is bike related..



and the brand new flier for the Messaround this year.

 

It's a '50-'52 International.
Also what a cool show this week.....Thanks Everybody!

 

some old stuff that i needed to put out to public, sorry for the crappy pics....i don't usually post things so be easy! (not all HAMB friendly)


3 layer stencil


gas tank design for a bobber i just bought

 

WOW, The photography, illustrations, pin striping, painting, clock sculpture, all amazing. A few more shots. Slim

 

The problem with naming names and complimenting work here is that you invariably leave out some excellent stuff along the way. But a couple of real standouts jumped out at me this week already. AND: I like the loose paint style and bad attitude of yours, TODDJ: Each one of your concepts deserves its own canvas. ZOMBIE: So freakin' cool. DouG: Stunning work and great clock design - like Architectural Digest meets Rod & Kulture. STOOPID PHRED: Really dig your typography, hip modern style and conceptual approach you take toward all your work. "Barricuda", the concept wagon and that "K" are kool. Interesting what you say about your own work ..." I feel I could do better"...While the rest of us are knocked out about your talent, like any true artist you see the flaws and opportunities for improvement. I think that pretty much sums up what many of us think about our own work.

Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.
