Art & Inspiration Friday Art Show

where is the FAS?

oh well, I got this for a start,...hot rod buses...

 

I suspect @JeffNorwell is running a little behind this morning. But don’t worry, even though it’s a little late it’ll get started soon.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR, a couple of sedans !

 

Chevy decided to discontinue the Nomad in 1957 but I thought I'd to see what it might have look like if they produced it with the 1959 styling...I think it would have done pretty well especially it they put a 348 in it.

 

More fun.

Happy New Year Ya'll...I made a post last week and the Art was absent so I'm running a belated post with the images...



...Reindeer were having a 1 hr lunch...and of course Santa liked a roof over his head...

Stogy let Santa hook up the Hotrod...I didn't want to be on the Coal list...

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays ...

Peace, Be safe...All Hambers...



...Digital Drawing on jpg from my trusty phone.... with Free Autodesk Sketchbook App...no affiliation but the canvas sizes are admirable as is the numerous other options AND no Ads.
...The 30s...the Class, The Art...the Deco era...mixed in with go fast...another Stogyism just doing the Sketchbook evolution...pencil will never go away but a digital Drawing opens new visions many incredibly dramatic...like the Cars and people that it evolved on...

Regards,
Stogy

Hello,

At the first Winternationals in 1961, my brother wanted to go see what the big time event was going be. Despite his injuries still on the mend, he wanted to venture out in the Impala to go to this historic event. He said we don’t have to walk around and talk to folks we knew, but we had our food supplies and drinks, so we were set. Plus, he was still a little shy about the bandages and scars from the incident. So, we were mostly incognito.

Now, we found a cool place down the dragstrip up against a horizontal telephone pole to keep everyone back from the track that was right in front of us. Soon, a lot of other cars could not find any parking in the designated area and continued down to where we were parked. Front row center, so to speak, but we could see who was coming, but they flew by like blurred images.

Much later, we found out several folks we knew about won various classes and one that bit the dust during the eliminations, much to our delight.

Mike Sorokin was a young drag racer and was getting his feet wet with his partnership in an Altered fenderless 33 Willys Competition Coupe. We could not remember the color of the car, but modern times allows us to play with a colorization photo program to see how close to reality it can conjure. The resulting color photo from the only B/W photo of these early days of drag racing provided a color that looked real. Everything in the photo is a “normal” color. Black tires, blue jacket, green trees and even rust here and there.

Although, the program got a little carried away with the blue on the front tire. But, it is a close enough guess of the real color. There is no one around to tell us the right color and show any verification.

Since this is the last of the December Red month of art cars, here is a Red version of the same Competition Coupe from the Mike Sorokin/George Bacilek team from 1961…

We are all informed about Mike Sorokin’s drag racing history and the results speak for themselves…

“Mike won the 1966 United States Fuel and Gas championship in Bakersfield, California and the 1967 National Open Championships in Las Vegas. Sorokin had gained fame driving the “Surfers” race team entry and piloting Roland Leong’s “Hawaiian.”

 

Isn't that a '60?

 

Some work by my cousin.

Happy New Year Hambers. I'm a little late to the show. Here's the 2015 logo I drew for our clubs annual car show, the digitizing and stitching as always, were done at Logo Magic in Dickinson, ND.

 

This was drawn by me years ago and is best shared without my signature cut off. It is one of my first digital sketches, using a Wacom drawing pad.
I made the mistake of sharing it on FB years ago. I don’t my mind HAMB members sharing it here but I’d be grateful if it’s was only shared here, with proper credit due. Thanks, happy new year.

 

Thanks and Happy New Year for All Artists !!!!

 

@Moriarity @Jeff Norwell please remove prior to archiving this post. For breaking rules of the forum.
Sorry @Terraplane them’s the rules.

Thanks fellas, I see that the deed was done. Happy New Year to my northern brethren!!!
Oh, you bet’cha, eh?

 

Very late again this week! My wife has been undergoing tests and surgeries that will continue into the new year. So far prayers are working. Just a couple of old Dragsters!
