Art & Inspiration ***early FRIDAY ART SHOW***

bare metal tank with leafing

 

new paintbox im working on, it looks so nice as is, i almost dont want to paint it...i saw Tucks box in detroit, and dug it, i guess my girl saw it, swiped the name .....i had forgotten about it...and she ended up getting me 2 for my birthday on ebay. i am using one in my car, and this one, i stripped with a 3m paint stripper pad and going to paint, but now im not so sure...

 

Great stuff! here's what I did this week.

 

Nuther one.

 

Oh I gotcha...yeah I never used the trace tool either...same thing...draw over a scanned sketch...

 

What color was that to start with?
It might look cool in a wrinkle finish--- copper or gray?
looks bad ass in bare metal... maybe just clear it and then stripe it.

thats cool she found you a couple... I've been watching for another- never thought of egay.

looks cool Rob-
Tuck

 

This is just plain SCARY!

 

Hey Brush,

Bitchin' stuff!

 

Hey HIDDEN, I absolutley love your stuff!
Here are a couple of pieces I did.

Joel

 

Whoa!
Those are BADASS sinclair!

 

Wow, great Art Show, as usual!

I finally got a chance to finish up another Desk Top Art Work model. This one is # 76 in the series. She's all boxed up and will be heading for Roothog's to be used as a HAMB Drags give away for a door prize or something! If you want a shot at winning this one, you have to be at the HAMB Drags and be the lucky person. I will be there myself and will have a Certificate Of Originality if the winner can catch up with me (and I don't forget it...)

This one measures about 6" long, is about 3" high and is about 3" wide.

This show is full of great stuff - as always. Here's a couple show posters.

 

wow some snazzy shit this week

well heres what i got


wedding sign...(gets striped after the wedding saturday)it is24"x36" lexan..the base is candied,lightly flaked,swirled,and crackled...as usual ..you have to see it in person to get a true feel of it..

 

Heres a purse i did for a fellow HAMBER LuckyDevil's wife...i didnt get a pic of the inside flap so maybe Jim can post a pic of it...

Rollie does your sone get to take that to class? That would be sweet..

Rob that box looks cool as hell the way it is..metal flake and pagan gold or slime green would be cool too...you have a habbit of making anything look cool.


soft leather purses are a pain in the ass....

 

1962 Pontiac Bonneville. I did this sketch to a guy who has original Bonneville at this moment. I didn't want to do too complicated modifications to this one.

 

Here are some pics of my bike. RYZART did the striping a few weeks ago and I finally got some pics of it all put together.


Here you go...

 

EVERYBODY - Great show this week!! I gotta dig up some shit too!

 

A few photochops I did for Dan, who is off fightin' fires now.



No body mods. Your regular old Cragars and some sidewall sanded Sears specials, say that 3 times fast. Oh and a mild drop.



One with a "flaked" top.

And the last one and my favorite:

 

I have to admit I trace/redraw as well. But I don't use the "trace" tool. Not sure I have used it be for. I use the pen tool and use my anchor points to manipulate the lines. It's not easy and take patients. Over time though I have learned to do some things with out redraw and just draw "free hand" with the pen tool.

On this one I "traced" the main outlines and just eyeballed the rest.

 

Here's a few from the archives. Will try to find some old photochops too.

 

What a show this week! Love all the stripping. sinclair, awesome monsters!

very clean. Reminds me of Picasso.
Janne
same thing, a nice clean style.

thanks for sharing everyone.

 

here is a coulpe photos of some bikes that a buddy made....pretty cool I think.

 

Nice Job Nick, those are awesome!!

 

Wow, there is some wicked cool stuff here this week!!

Logo I did for Kevin's and my shop. We are both into WWII aircraft and history and also have much respect for the men (and women) who went off to war (some never to come back) and came back and helped to give birth to hot rodding as we know it today. Plus, Kevin was an aircraft fabricator in the Air Force (still is in the National Guard) so the mark fit well. The wing motif was influenced from a WWII maintence group insignia.

 

Great show this week.
