Art & Inspiration ////////// Early Friday Art Show \\\\\\\\\\

Here's all I got this week.

enjoy/

 

Zombie,
really diggen the background color change...very nice touch, you are the colored pencil king

keep 'em coming!

 

What if...
What if you had as much Ferrari blood as hot rod blood in you?
Here's my idea of what might happen.

The recipe...
start with a '32 roadster
clip it to a boat tail. Add an Indy roadster grill shell.
Perhaps a Ford V8 with Weber carbs.
Get rid of the windshield and install
a pair of windscreens like a 60's Formula 1 car.
Some headrests. Bullet style mirrors.
And of course Ferrari alloys.

Maybe Henry would approve.

Ciao goombas!

 

signs i did for the upcomin hot rod hoedown sept 8th outside of philly

Denton Hollifield's fiat 600. Did this drawing for a shirt design I'm working on.

 

Dont know if anyone gives a rats ice but we did paint the feature bike in Biker Magazine this month. I forgot to post about this earlier this month. There are a few more days to grab it at the newsstand before the new issue comes out. It is a lace and stripe job under a custom SEM candy. Sorry I dont have any better shoots of the work they all have tits in them.
Its funny a few years ago all I wanted was a cover bike. A few years back we stopped painting bikes and started only painting helmets. I still paint bikes for my buddies and high profile projects that I can get into. Its like when I do a bike or a race car it is for the fun of it or a hobby. We focus on the helmets and nothing is more important than the helmet work. It is our number one priority but it is cool to see our fun work make the magazines and get a little recognition. I also love telling the guys that tried to take advantage of me when I first started that we dont paint bikes after they see my work win a show or make a magazine.

 

polock, great work as usual. Can i buy a print or something?
Zombie, Cab's right, you are the color pencil king.
Here is my contribution.

 

sup brother,the desoto looks awsome,i'd like to build it if i had time,Ilike the brown paper,sorry about the wagon,14 comments i must have did a shitty job,you would have got more response if you posted a picture of a duck

 

Gary C. , Jigger, Zombie and all the rest, another very cool Friday art show. I'm posting Mitch's contribution for him. It is twisted but kinda fits this weeks overall theme. It's a trailer park custom piece called 5 Days Without a Fight... that's a record for most trailer parks but tomorrow is Friday and well big Momma's gonna cut loose...Yes she is disgusting, hard to look at and you can figure out the rest of the story-----better yet make up your own. This is meant to be entertaining, funny and disturbing. If you are offended that is an added bonus. Again, great art and last week had to be a top ten showing??? Joe

 

This is doubly disturbing for me...
I actually worked with someone who looked exactly like
"Miss Double-Wide". Really nice work though!

 

A few stripes from this week and another "sculpture" project.......

 

Once again a amazing show this week. Killer stuff.
Not much new here , but my wife put her purse down in the wrong spot so I took a shot at it...

 

Man, I haven't aven been able to view, let alone post, one of these Friday Art Things forever!

F'ing Pollack, I dig the Chev - awesome color - drop a line sometime, would love to hear how things are going! Zombie, I hated those DeSotos until now! Call that one DeSoLow! Oz, if I could get that 3rd and 4th mortgage figured out I'd be the client on that one for sure! Nice to see some new fellas showing their stuff too! Great work guys!


Anyways, I dusted off something from a while back to throw in the mix

 

You guys always give me an inferiority complex, being a photographer and all....anyways, didnt see a wednesday photo show so here it is.....

 

Hey, thanks, man! It all starts as a pencil sketch, and gets scanned in, and essentially re-drawn in Illustrator...no meshes or brushes, almost entirely pen tool and fills. Thanks for the compliment!
Zombie.... what more can I say than "amazing".... love your work, no matter what color paper it's on!
Sinclair, that's killer!! And man, I'm stoked that you'd want my stuff... wanna swap some art? I NEED a piece of your work on my wall!
Gary C., I'm really feeling that idea! Nicely done, as always...
Machobuck, that's cool! CAB, I'm liking the car and the tee! Man... I could go on and on... great show again this week!

 

Dang! How old is that kid? Hes already better than me!

 

I knew I was typing far too long... Blackie, NICE!! I'll drop ya a line and call!
...and hellbound gasser, nice shot!

 

Some sweet stuff this week. Heres a few things ive done not to long ago. havnt posted in a while so here goes nothin.

 

Tiki Tiki.........nice

 

Jordon is 8 going on 9. He chalenges me to drawing contests. I told him he'll work for me some day (Hope I'm not working for him.) He sets down with a picture and trys to copy it. Most of us were in high school or college before we started doing that.

 

Wow nice stuff guys!
Here are a couple for the show.

Love this piece. I would love to substitue my car in this scene.

 

I had a buddy of mine bugging me to draw him a tattoo design to go around his awseome chevy bowtie hes rocking now on his upper arm. Its really just a rough draft (one wheels tweaked and too many dots on a die) but Its all I have to post this week unless I finish the shitter lid I've been painting.
I kind of think theres a little to much going on but thats what he wanted, Im not telling a man in his fiftys what he should or shouldnt get as a tattoo.

Thanks guys.

Tingler. I wondered where you been at? Art shows not the same anymore.
Zombie... Clean as hell... And Cab, I waited to see that one on a shirt!

 

DtroitDinosaur - love that stuff!

Robin - the painting is RAD!

 

DtroitDinosaur,
Did you paint these?
how big are they?
...if so, very, very awesome and keep posting every week!




Jigger, stoked to see you started out your son Mathew so young, i did the same with my daughter as well.

Nate, your promo card is sweet.

KCsledz, those prints are really cool, they'd make great stencils too i bet, the drag strip riot rulz.

Dirtydag, one shot is working great for ya, very versitile backgrounds... nice.

Brian, love both angles, super clean as usual

Customcory, nice drawings, very detailed.

Eyebone, nice job on that truck and thanks once again for creating such a cool logo for the club!

Lowcab, that was a 15min. well spent with a pencil.

Robin, amazing... your stuff just keeps progessing with every stroke of the brush, i get the picture as well, there's nothing you can't paint.

Jason, your stuff is so fun to look at and every time i need a Tingler fix, i just walk down my hallway

widewhitewalls, this would also make a sweet stencil as well, love the colors you chose for this.

Jim, now that's what i'm talking about, awesome job on the sign.

sinclair, glad you agree your work rocks, cool piece, what's the medium?

SinisterCustom/ zombiehut and Wild_47, nice striping fellas!

this thread just keeps getting better

 

This is the wooden hand carved head of Dragnut. This is the last figure that will go on the Finkosel.
The black line is the epoxy that holds the two head halves together,(they're carved separately) . The black "staples" are called pinch dogs. They're the neatest thing since sliced bread as you use them to clamp irregular shapes.
The teeth are corian solid surface countertop material and each is inset into the gums individually.
