Art & Inspiration Art challenge 11 - 1932 ford

Sadly one of my idols has p***ed. Seeing his stuff started me on the path I'm on.
R.I.P. Mr. Deal!

 

This is one I did a little while ago.

 

Man we lost allot of great ones this year. Their inspiration lives within us!

R.I.P. Dave Deal.

 

Well as usual, I waited till the last minute to start this thing. I wanted to take it into Photoshop and start painting over it so that I can get a bit more flair. Ran out of time....and talent. Every one did an awesome job! Von Franco, I love your style brother.

Seems fitting that whoever starts the Friday Art Show dedicate it to Dave Deal.

I know I will.

Nice memorial Del...

 

I seriously have to get off my a$$ and learn Illustrator! Great entries guys, it's going to be tough to judge!

I agree with Mr. Ervin. Lets have a "Big Deal' Friday show.

 

My Deuce Dream... in 1/24th scale.

Back in 1965 I built an AMT, 1/24 scale Deuce.
I cut the **** out of it and painted it Candy
Tangerine Orange, installed a blown Hemi
and a 27T grill shell. A few months after entering
it in the model compe***ion at Pittsburgh's
Rod and Custom show I found it in the pages
of Model Car Science. Man I was proud!

My final entry. Good luck to everyone in
this Art Challenge. It turned out to be a great one!

 

Man I am really torn between Hidden and empire32.
Both are incredible illustrations.

 

pacheco, hidden, empire32...neck and neck if ya ask me...great work everybody

Merci-Bo-Coops!

Behold the power of the French Hot Rod Mafia

Everyone had such awesome entries. Del- Thanks for doing the tibute to BigDeal! I will miss him too. *sniffle- sniffle** Hard to imagine all the people he influenced. He was a great man!
