Car, bike and art show in Pasadena with pics

What a great day for a car show...so I cruised up to a cool little gathering in Pasadena yesterday. Granted it was no Lone Star Round Up, but I will take what I can get. Combination art show at Johnson Motors Inc that featured 3 Japanese artists (Makoto, Mr. G. and Psycho), and another mostly auto related show at the Mendenhal Sobiesky Gallery (Weesner, John Bell, Coop, Roth, Shag, Spain, Pizz and a few others). A couple guys from Zero Choppers were there...with bikes. Some of the Choppers (Verne, Sandy and Fish) were hangin' out. The Immortals. The cars and bikes were parked in an alley, which made picture taking a bit difficult with all the peeps walking around. I'll post pics in 3 phases as work permits. Cars, then bikes, then a bit of art.

Enjoy.

 

More.

 

Last couple of cars.

 

don't you EVER use the word peeps ......

 

...and some bikes

 

...bikes, bikes, bikes.

 

hahahahahaha...........and the last few bikes I peeped............bitch!

 

i got there late but there were still lots of PEEPs about ...

a friend of mine - Dan Quanstrom - was showing some of his work in the gallery.. otherwise id have never known the show existed.

 

Dan Quantrom's work is absolutelt amazing. First 2 I post are his. Pen and ink. Then the helmet is buy the guy some of you Hambers love to hate.

 

And a few by Weesner. Nice to see him go big. Great stuff Keith.

 

Hey Coby I got there late I missed you. Great show. -stick

 

It was a good show. I got there really early to get a spot but no go! I had my '53 Plymouth wagon parked around the corner on green street at the Optical place. I was impressed with the cars and bikes that showed up. Shawn put on a kool gathering from Johnson! I liked Auggie's '35 all metal truck that he had there with the tangerine-orange painted steelies. He also had his '54 Merc and his bike, Harley, with the BSA tank on it with the others that you took pics of. I wish I could have met more there but, I had to get my ass off to work! One more thing. Ya can't forget about the couple of hotties that where there too. I got a stiffie with my burger and fries to go! KNUX

 

Weesner had the program for the show at the Roundup.

I noticed that the cover painting of an intake manifold by Coop had more than a passing resemblance to one painted by our friend Dan Picasso.

 

I was there yesterday. Johnsons book store is one of my favorite places to pass the time in Pasadena.

The gallery showing was very cool. Who was the artist that had his stuff painted on the wooden tablets. They were on the small wall directly to the left as soon as you walked through the door. I really liked his stuff and would like to see more.

 

Excellent pics and GREAT cars and bikes ! Thanks for sharing ! Tom Branch's Deuce Roadster is so beautiful and for me it is one of the most quintessentail Deuce Roadsters ever.This car has the look and is on the best way to become a milestone Hot Rod just like the Spencer,LaMasa,Ray Brown etc.Deuces.Gorgeous looking Hot Rod...

Goozgaz. I think the artist you are referring to is John Bell. He was there. Really nice guy, and extremely talented. He'll be at Paso I think, and I usually run into hime at the hot rod reunion as a couple other shows. I believe his site is http://www.johnbellstudio.com/

 

who was the guy with the big oil painting in a side room... morbid, some dude in a tub and another with a chick eating a fleshcicle. think his last name was Hussar or somethin?

 

That rolled pan on Tom's roadster looks pretty bitchin'... Got anymore pics..?

Yeah... that's him. THANKS!

No more pics of Tom's car. Just getting one shot was a bitch. And Butt...this is the only other shot of the Pick em' up I got...but somehow I don't think it's what you are looking for. Hahahahahaha.
