Art & Inspiration ------> Early Friday Art Show Fri 13th! <---------

You will be missed. But none of this shit matters... enjoy your family!

edit: I only say this because I find myself kind of addicted to the Internet. It's every where, even on my Blackberry. I'm on at work and home. I guess the good side of it is that I'm hooked up with all of you like minded hot rodders, not some vile porn ring..

Ray,
I too am sorry to see you go, however, I can understand what you are saying. There is no better reason to turn off the computer. Just know you will be missed.

I didn't make this but its got my Caddy on it. Just found it surfing the web....

 

Well I haven't drawn in years and you guys really inspired me to start again. I don't think I have anywhere near some of the talent some of you have but here it goes. I know its not a car, its a woman so I figured most of us like both "Women and cars" so here it goes. Be kind

I met my wife Hadley at the Road Rockets show a few years ago while she was shooting pics of the show. She's been documenting the car culture scene for many years, and has created a body of work that I think is different from many of the things I see out there. She shoots medium format FILM (Hasselblad) and does all her own developing and printing. The work that I uploaded is framed in pairs, each image is about 10" square. This is just a sample of the work she does. I am really proud of her, so I thought you all might like to see these images. She does show and sell her work in galleries, I hoped she might find a different audience here in the HAMB.

Even in lo-res these are really damn good pictures.

This is my first post on a art show, The picture I took of it didnt come out too good but heres one I drew...I call it "scrap yard 1961"

 

I would like to make them bigger but I don't know how. The originals are big files on Photobucket. One of her recent shows with better pics is at www.warsawprojectspace.com and click on past shows: Retro/Active. Thanks for the kind words.

 

Here's one more before I turn in.
Another Photoshop sled. '52 Olds.

I'd just like to say that I'm proud to have met Ray through here. Funny, I just went by his house last night on the way home and beeped and waved. Didn't see him out, but know where he's at. Looks like I'll keep that phone number and make an effort to stop by in PERSON rather than via net. Kind of an old fashioned way about it. Is that what traditional rodding is all about?

I'll miss the posts but I won't forget the afternoon he spent with my boys and I showing us how to start striping. It is an honor.

 

love those 60's drags, man!

 

download and fold em

 

Understood Ray, hope ya drop in every now and then.

 

Here's one I am working on that was sort of scratched. We are not using this version of car nd some of the other elements you see here. This was just a trial and error progress pic. I need to put a fire under my a$$ and finish.

 

Well, we were thinking of starting a school for educating young hotrodders. Since building hotrods is function and art together Mitch decided to teach his youngest daughter how to operate the family pedal car and manuevuer in and out of traffic. Unfortunately, she was feeling a little under the weather, but you could see the excitement in her eyes from spending quality time with Dad. I also added Mitch's art contribution for the week. Thanks, Joe

Mitch's art rules.. but that is one ugly kid

 

AWESOME per usual fellows. I realy, really enjoy the Friday Art Show here on the HAMB. In my opinion, it's one of the staples of the enviroment.

I'm really not the one to ask I guess cuz I don't wear skulls BUT I will add that I'm not really a fan of a skull with crossed flags. Just don't seem like they go together. Maybe it's just me, I don't know.

 

Here's another one just 'cause I can. A WORK IN PROGRESS, I like the way it printed out, all messy and what not. (also, it gives the show a much needed bump.)

What I'd do if I had it...

 

Hey, Jeff...top notch! On going job??? What could be left, but to build the car.

 

Hell, I don't mind one bit....these are awesome Jigger!!!!!
What is the medium???? Fine point pen????

 

Naw, just pencil on tracing paper. (Why, I don't know, maybe for a parchment/rice paper look.) This is the best I could clean up and save an old bit of art work.
By way of clarification, When I said 'a much needed bump" earlier, I ment bumping the thread back towards the top. The art work this week is great. So many offer so much that I can't wait to see what's coming each and every week. I'm like a kid in a candy store around you guys. You could say I'm 'revved-up!'
