***Friday art show 6-15-2007***

Hey LUCKY444, Thanks man, I really like your stuff too. I got a 51 Chevy, so I always like 51 Chevy stuff. That coupe has some attitude. I wish I was in Hawaii.

 

Earplugs please.

 

Don't crucify me if I'm wrong, but that looks an awful lot like a Bug body with convertible doors. I like it.

Great show so far everyone, I'm really diggin' the tail/knuckle dragger! Hopefully I'll have something to post before the weekend is out.

 

I dug out the ol negatives this week, but seemed to have missed the Wednesday photo show, so you get here.

 

You are correct thrasherbill.

 

Here's a couple:

Another suitcase turned paint kit,a motorcycle,an old can,and a sign for a customer on plexiglass.

an ice saw i got last year i painted it theres pistons,nuts,bolts, sparkplug/wire and what not painted on it along with pinstriping

Top marks for everyone again this week so far! Safariknut and metalhotrodgirl..I bow at your skills, those suitcases and the saw..holy moly! Janne..as always, superb!

Heres a few renderings from me, all the same just different colours but you'll see why if you read the following thread as its a highly detail "How To" on Photoshop rendering I just posted!!

Check it out if you havent already! Shows you exactly how to create these:

Based on a 50 Plymouth:

 

This gives you a idea how I lay out big drawings . I have a bunch of little sketches that when you put them together they sorta work. I was making a one day fifties car show , with the guy laying out the club banner on the ground. Someday I will get inspired to finish it. I thought everybody would like it.

 

Hey Customcory, is that tracing paper you work on? If so, have you tried vellum? The stuffs much like tracing paper, but a little thicker and definitely more durable. Just a thought. I too drive a 51 Chevy Coupe.

 

Wow, great work everybody!
I'll have to add to this in the future.
Thanks for posting the RZ BBQ poster Stevie.
I knew those were April's photo's right away! good stuff!

The tracing paper that I always use is like drafting paper for maps etc. It may be vellum and I don't know it. I know its acid free. My dad was a land surveyor and they drew the property maps on this stuff. Ink and Prismicolor pencils work good on it. My fifty one is going to be a fifties style custom. Im just now starting the outside body work. I didn't go to school for this stuff , so I have to learn the hard way.

 

here's a top fueler I striped & lettered and one of my favorite customers owns the red custom done in the fifties, can you guess what it started as ??

 

and seein' as Father's day is comin', I'd like to post this pic of a truck my Dad lettered & striped in 1951, 4 years before I was born.

 

Hello customcory, I remember you used to draw the covers for those USRA Newsletters in the 80's. I found the Vol-1 No.-1 issue for this drawing. Hope you dont mind an old work of yours going on HAMB for the artshow.

 

I cant believe you have those. Do you have the one of the 40 Chev sedan delivery?

 

Yeah, I'm sure that stuff you have is vellum. Good paper and fun to draw on. Learning the hard way, is the best way!

 

Hello Customcory. I think this is it. I still have all those Street Rodder and Rod&Custom magazines that have your stuff in them as well. Also all those rod run dash plaques. Can I sell them on ebay?

 

Hell no.

 

Jen, that saw is badass!

 

Hey Cory. Just one more blast from the past then I will stop for tonight. I found one of your old rod run dash plaques for the Carowinds Run for Fun 1979 that you had drawn. Do you remember this? I hope it blows your mind man.

 

I did that in 1979, I was 19 . It was for the Rods Exclusive club in Charlotte N. C. They put on a few shows on at Carrowinds , and they were good shows. Nobody remembers this stuff. Thanks for putting it on.

 

I thought I would do another before and after. I had this on concept art last week, but this week made the pics bigger. I used a old issue of Hop Up for reference. Whats funny is this truck was for sale in Hemmings in the early 80's or late 70's. It still had the interior, chrome running boards, but a stock grille. It was 1600 dollars . I will have to dig out the ad, its put up somewhere. Like Rikster, I had to guess at the colors by looking at the shades of gray in them old moldy magazines. Im puttin more on tomorrow.

 

Some more photos from Billetproof Detroit 2007 (all touched up) and some from last weekends Hamtramck Hustle. Enjoy

 

I have to say....I almost wrecked my truck a few times on the way home looking at the new art on my door. I likey...thanks again Cabbie!!

 

Hey Scary Larry, at the Jalopy Showdown Mitch kept hearing ride the rocket for $.50 or something like that ...so when he got home he incorporated the blow-up doll and the rocket into a new ride. Here's Mitch's change up for Friday art this week. Rollie great contribution! Low Cab your stuff killer, Janne and 1320 way to keep it coming... Thanks, Joe

 

I've been hearing rumors that youre hanging up the skateboard for a presentation modeling gig. Is this true??

 

I remember seeing that car in the little books;in fact I think I have one.A good old Henry J with the top removed and a Kaiser(54-55?)grille and headlamp doors.Don't remember what the windshield is(was).Had a spare tire on the back didn't it?

 

i painted some flamage on a neat roadster

 

Lamo car show pics.... goodguys KC
