ED ROTH GURUS: What is THIS??

I dig Ed Roth, but I'm no expert on him or his stuff. What exactly is this (aside from the obvious derived from the pics). Where were these sold? When? I can't seem to find any info on this thing. It's way cool and the sculpture is definitely bronze.

The sculptor is Larry Braun. The book is signed and numbered by Braun, Ed Roth and Tony Thacker. Edition of only 50.

Thanks!

 

where did you get that?

 

I have my ways. It has to be ultra rare. I see a lot of cool hot rod shit and I have never seen another one.

 

I'd hate to think what that might bring at auction! OUCH.

 

It appears that Larry Braun is still creating automotive sculptures. Way out of my price range though. http://www.garryhill.com/sculpture.asp Is a link to a gallery displaying his work.

Sending you a pm.

 

My first thought was Stanley Wanless, but if Mr48chev knows for sure...

 

Yeah, I found his site too. WAY cool work!!!

 

It's signed by Braun.

 

How does Tony Thacker 'feel' about Goodguys? Like I do?

 

It's quite similar to what is shown as some of his other small sculptures too.

That they're awesome!

 

Tony Thacker doesn't like ME? Why couldn't I ask him?

 

I'll give you a hundred bucks for it, it's of no real value.

 

That is Ed "BIG DADDY" Roth's Beatnik Bandit

 

Let me make a call and i'll see what I can find out for you...

 

The picture is, the bronze is the "Outlaw"...

 

That's obvious. Not.

 

Man that is soo cool!

 

This is the Outlaw

 

HaHa , that's what I was thinking. I'm sure he'd still talk to you.

 

Big .... my man! That is pretty dam cool

 

That is a really neat find. Wish it was mine, lol.

Some of you need to read the first post so you know what the question is about.

 

Wow! that is so awesome!!!!!

 

I've never seen the book in hardcover before. Is anything dated? I'm guessing a limited edition piece to celebrate the release of the book. 1995?

 

Not to be "Captain Obvious" here ... but perhaps the sculpture was something that Larivee and/or Motorbooks International commissioned Braun to do ... to commemorate the original (1995) release of Roth & Thacker's "Hot Rods by Ed Big Daddy Roth" book in paperback ... and then they decided it would be profitable to sell 50 copies of the sculpture & hardcover book (on a hardwood mount) as a "Limited Edition" item that only a "Gold Chainer" (like Atwater Mike ) could afford!

 

The only date is the publish date.

Most likely, but I can't find any info through them.

 

So who's moms house did you find this @ while you were naked.............

 

duh !

 

Ding , Ding, Ding ! winner

 

way to go !
