HEY ROB THANK YOU, AND AS U KNOW THE FEELING IS MUTUAL, MUCH RESPECT!!!!

 

This was actually one of my favorite cars at the roundup...simple, understated, slick....nice shots as usual!

Thanks...really appreciate that.

 

Gary your kickin **** on that Wacom...keep it up my boy!
Ed another amazing pencil rendering...you have super skills man!
RobSchwag...awesome detail on the Bomber Art!

Great stuff from all

1) I finished the sketch I started last week
2) The Vector drawing
3) "TooTall Stikes again"

 

Another crazy, top talent filled show!

My friends have inspired me to break out the brushes and acrylics. Thanks.

 

I cheated a bit with the halftone pattern by adding the gradient underneath... makes the pattern less prominent...

Jeff Allison's use of halftone patterns this week is worth a study...

 

here are a couple illustrations from a OUI magazine in the 70's. they had George submit ****** illustrations of cars. george hired an artist to render his ideas. i don't know who the artist was.. maybe someone out there does. there are a couple more.. but not sure if they are appropriate for this site.. they almost built the actual cars!!

 

Nice Forty!

 

Great show everyone! Schwag, awesome panels!
This is my contribution this week. It's a commissioned piece.

 

Here goes, a couple of Gene Winfield from last weekend. Thanks for letting me share.

Here's a wallet I made for this funny guy out in Cali. His name is Jeff Dunham and he's a vantrilliquist. Check him out if you have a minute. (go to the videos link and watch the clips w/ "Achmed the Dead Terrorist") You'll know which ones when you see a skeleton w/ a turbin. Here's his website.
http://www.jeffdunham.com/#/home or search youtube.

anyways, his wallet has an Alligator base, w/ two Skulls and some "King George" border mirrored on both sides of it. It is sewn w/ a contrasting Red and White S***ching. The eyes of the skull are inlayed with Red Stingray. I also inlayed some extra Red Stingray to give it a super durable, reinforced spine. The inside is lined w/ a Red Japanese Geisha silk and is built from black kangaroo hide.
I really didn't want to do this project because the client was requesting an unproven pattern (new style of wallets for me) and needed it on a very short time frame. All things considered, I think it turned out o.k.; but Jeff was extremely happy... I guess that counts for something.
sorry for the super long post. I hope I haven't bored you all to death. Have a killer weekend.

 

Thats great, so is Jeff Dunham.....
I Kill You...
