Art & Inspiration Friday art show

mine are like cardboard. Chevrolet also made the metal ones. I have no idea how these worked. if they printed them with ink the image would be negative as the raised parts are the reflections.

 

Belairman explained it right above your post...So much more than meets the eye...

 

I've see those cylinders for printing when I worked for a company that sold boxes. we kept the printing dies at the warehouse and sent them to box companies when we had them make the boxes

 

... @squirrel , @Rocky and you know, a squirrel...and by the way, Rocky know's that squirrel because he was on his Table till the Inspired Squirrel's decided to have a race right through his space...No Squirrels were injured in the making of this Inspiration...

...those Squirrel Inspirations are the real deal...see at the links below...

In college I did this ink-wash self portrait of me and my '35 Ford pickup (which I drove all through college).

I parked on a sidewalk in front of a Newberry's plate glass window, at night under a street light and drew the reflection...then went home and inked it.

 

Neato!, Yes, those reflections have a way of inspiring one...at night yet, The utility bed in action...

 

G’day sunshine,

Methinks that rocker breather says grey motor (48-63 GMH inline 6 for the non-Aussies)

cheers,
Harv

 

...Something to warm the Cool Days ahead for many of us...in the northern regions...

...Hamber @chryslerfan55's former Ride...you sent it off...it was your friend for quite some time...
...I know I'll be faced with this decision...nothing is forever...Hope you have something to fill the void...I'm fond of the Inspirations over the years...great memories really...

I see it went to another in our group of friends...awesome...I hope for the same when that day comes...

...Paging @rod1...Congrats...

Yes Harv. Resto is well underway on my Special Sedan. Scored a fresh, tight stock spec rebuilt (in '67!) grey with alloy timing gear, running on a stand, for a good affordable price. Still have the hot mill and may yet run the Nikki on that.

 

Thanks all that posted.

 

Yes, thanks to all! I look forward to this each week. Amazing artwork. I have some of my own but they are after the target years. Oldest car i owned was a 1962 and I never drew it....It was a nice 1st car but wasn't a really cool car!

 

Thanks 442, I have work that's OT as well...discretion is a beautiful thing really...

Any medium really...get those creative juices rolling again...make the 62 cool...I call them Inspirations...If you do them right just about anything can capture ones heart...

 

...Still eating Turkey...turnips, yeah that stuff is...my mouth is watering...oh and The Hamb of course...

Did you know that chef is a Hoodlum...and a Hamber......well not sure but he has telltale signs...Hamb, Hoodlums and Hosers eh!

...one for our Showstarter @Moriarity...I like Hotrod/Custom...The Cadillac is like a factory Custom right out the door but lend well to just about anything Custom...I added the licks to this and maybe adjusted the altitude...like a cigarette boat on wheels really with the licks like waves sliding along the sides as it glides along parting its path of elegance with its smithys resonating like a distant warbird...

I can't find the metal cut right now, but pictured here, at the top, is the matboard, the middle is the rubber plate, and at the bottom, is an example of what was printed.

 

If and when you take the time to consider what they do,, all cars are cool. Before
I drove I could love any old car. Still do

What he said

 

That was quite the labor intensive industry, it's almost disappeared but it still is an Art form and some still do it old school with T-Shirts and even Ole Newsprint...Thanks for taking the time to explain and show those processes...Thanks to the others as well that expanded on the Printing...

 

...I saw a Tri Five...
