Art & Inspiration Friday art thread, and yes it is finally friday

Piece painted for the "In the Wind" show at Gasoline Gallery.

 

Very nice

 

Thanks VF. much appreciated!

 

Ryzart - nice!

 

Ryzart, Cool you finally got around to doing that one. I like the background. Is that some digital process to lay that background in there? The main objects look hand painted to me.

 

ewt2 - graphite? NICE.

Del. - ouch, that's so good I can't even explain. Jeeze....the warm tone on the side just set's it off man.


So many goodies every week. Next Friday is too far away.

Del, That is as sweet as the best chocolate around.
I'm sure it's been asked and answered before but

How big in inches and dpi are you drawing those?
Ya know, all the technical stuff.

Richiepan rules !!! Here is a painting i painted for a pin-up model named Rocket Girl.

 

Big A, your detail work and use of color is soooo vivid!

 

Here's a 3d dragster I did.

 

Nice work Mike, good to see your art on here again.

 

thanks rich feeling towards your work is mutual!

 

this is *****'n

 

Awesome work as always folks. I'm in awe.

I thought I'd throw this one into the mix simply because it isn't the sort of stuff I do on a daily basis.

What it is and what it's for...
A pair of digital prints done on reflectorized vinyl and then hand cut by me.. A local drag club got the idea to do up a police car for kids to race at the strip (gets driven by a rotating collection of real officers and it really was a used P.D. car). Sort of a "see if you can beat a cop car" deal. Has lights that work (by law they need to be removable) and a si-reeeen!

Anyway, all done in Photoshop. Lots 'n' lots o' layers! Original design size was 36" square @ 300dpi, finished size is a little over 21" square. Started with a pencil sketch, scanned into PS and then refined. The shield on the door in the drawing has the shield on the door, which has the shield on the door...

Don't know how well this is gonna look since I had to compress it so much but I'll give it a try. If it ends up looking like **** I'll see if I can't post some close-ups.

 

Well here was the smallest piece of striping Ive ever done on a car!My good buddy Joe from Hellbound City told me he wanted something good on his 53 Crabrook.Oh well ,if ya hit the pinheadlounge link below and ENLARGE the pic,it shows up actual size!

 

Del,
I'm diggen the "off the wall sticker" ...great job on this one, super good
cheers,
CAB

 

Geez, I'd love to learn some of your longcuts!!! The detail is incredible! Really extraordinary!

 

Thanks Joel!!!!

 

Awesome work this week guys. Thanks for the positive comments.

Tingler, that worm in the bikini was even more wrong when she(?) was *******.
