Art & Inspiration <<<<< Friday Art Show 4/15/11 >>>>>

Got to lay some lines on a couple trucks last weekend at the AutoFair.....

 

hey zemog those masks are awesome!!! saw them over at pinheadlounge.com, especially like the mexican wrestler one. too cool to use tho

 

I dig that vintage screenprint stuff! - Remember the darkrooms and the big repro cameras?

 

Another great turn out here!!! Keeping it "topical", anyone going to VLV this year will see this on the shirts and things!

 

Zemog,

Mexican wrestling welding mask= brilliant!

 

LOVE this one!!! A VERY European style. You are obviously influenced by Moebius, Geoff Darrow and Dave Taylor!

 

Here's one from me this week. Some of you have seen it over on facebook.

Maybe a little morbid to some , but I lost my nephew Brandon in a car crash. last friday He was an up an coming hot rodder. He was only 19 and like the son I never had ,he Always loved the striping on my cars, So Chris fox one of our club member did an amasing pinstripe job for him on his casket. He was buried with the brush that striped both my cars and his casket .Brandon would have loved it . Just wanted to share this

 

Here's a cycle tank I just finished. The guy wanted a 50's pinup of a girl on a scooter. Seems his girl friend likes to get dressed up when she rides with him on his cycle.

 

This piece is amazing! Loved the earlier stages of it as well.

 

Wow! Cool!

 

WOW, So much great stuff already!

Bob - Your work never fails to pull me in, excellent!
Buick59 - A true artist with a camera! That Merc is stunning.

 

This is AWESOME! You even have a hoverboard in it! I've always been a fan of the BTTF series.

Awesome work as usual Bernie!

 

Very nice. I told you you're getting better with each piece, Bernie. This one's further proof of that.

 

X2 love the color wash out

Nothing new from me this week, so here's a super old doodle

Great show everybody, and it's only Friday morning!

I got the chance to stripe at a local scooter shop last Saturday for their first year anniversary. Still get a little nervous when a dude rolls up his scooter and says "just do whatever you think will look good"!? Had fun, made a few bucks, all good.

 

I had such a lousy week, I thought a little cartoon would make it all better, hope it makes one of ya' smile. Keep on keepin' on!

 

GREAT SHOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep em coming . I will be in the garage welding and grinding and maybe have something done for next weeks show.

 

here is a drum i finished up this week. great show!

 

Hey LOwcab,what does this remind you of?

 

Nate, Bernie, Ger,... WOW! Great show everyone. I haven't had any time This week but I had an inspirational thought I had to play out in color.
Using an older sketch I slammed out the 1953 Buick Del~Ray (Phantom) Show car:



And an OT I slammed color on for my Mustang loving Son's 13th Birthday:

 

Cool as always, the pin-striping tribute is not morbid, it is doing what your bro would have liked, good on ya ~sololobo~

 

Always look forward to the Friday Art Show. Can somebody please identify the hub cap.
