Art & Inspiration I can't believe it's the Friday Art Show.

Some I did this week, the jacket I did a couple of weeks ago with one shot.

 

Vorhese, there's something very strange going on inside your head.

I want some.

Your painting rocks, how much would it cost to buy it?

 

Great work on display this week, guys.
Heres mine. Its probably not art , but I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. Its a spiderweb grille for my old plymouth. .
Theres over 30 ft of 1/4 in rod in this sucker.

 

Here's a welding helmet I'm working on right now

 

good to see all of the kick ass work, here's my addition. A Rat Finky for our club display at the Ft Worth Custom Show this weekend.....

 

Here's some art I have been working the band that Hellfish and I are in. Not final, but I haven't posted in the art thread in awhile, so I thought I'd share.

 

These are some pics I got off Riks site of my striping on the Copper Dust Barris Olds owned by Pat Orsillo. Id show the dash but I dont have detailedpics of it. Pat wanted me to make my style more crude or "old school to fit the era! I did it but it was the first time Ive ever tried to make mistakes.
I felt like I was trying to fall off a bike! After it was said and done,it was Pats favorie part of the striping.

 

I did have a pic of the dash after all! This is me striping a 54 for a dude named Tony at Lead East. Some other cat also did some nice work on this rig!

 

eh i dunno if photochoppin qualifies here...but here it is
32 olds i saw at atlantic city last week or something


umm ehh hope u dont mine dirty31 but i used ur car


and walaa

i had to extend the whole front end and crap i also made it black in white cus the picture of the 32 olds had wierd lighting from the place so it didnt look right i didnt want to make it black and white but yeah..

 

Our own Hotrod29s deck lid that I striped a few years ago at the Rumblers show. A couple of the lies photograph differently than real life.

 

Not really art, but I played with some pics from last year's March Meet and Primer Nats last night:

(think of it as a coloring book online)

 

a couple of panels that i did at striping central at autorama...
it was a fun time...striped in the same isle as caffiene, and psychoarts...those guys are rulers...shoulda been there.

 

i know these are kind of the antithesis to what is usually posted....but here are some studies of Rembrandt and Sargent out of my sketch book....really the only thing i have right now that fits in my scanner....

graphite with some conte on the first one:

 

wow.. that's some awesome portraiture.. I used to do things like that in pen and ink, but something about graphite makes it look almost photorealistic.

Nice portraits.Il ike the 1st graphite with conte.Captures Rembrants whole tenebristic(tenebrism-chiascuro) style.
rich^vic do you find the pen and ink easier?I love to work in graphite.I can smear and blend to help my effects.Pen and ink is just a different style for me and not sometihng I do regularly.

 

Dig the portraits, man!
painted this as I sat outside Southside Tatt on Thursday. Good turn out and sold a few pieces. Next up-official website. I'd like to link to a couple of artist's sites.
Any takers?

 

Nah.. pen and ink is time consuming and rapidographs always clog up like crazy after about 2 hours or use on thick toothy paper.. and you have to plan most of it in hard pencil anyway. But I like the way it looks when it's done. Bradberry's stuff makes me want to break out the graphite though..

glad ya guys enjoyed them....

im documenting my sketch book and i haven't participated in a art show for awhile so i guess ill post a few more...

more quick conte and graphite studies of rembrandt and sargent:
