Art & Inspiration ///////friday art thread\\\\\\\\\

Cool is that you on the right.

 

A bit of foolin' around:

 

Most folk use photobucket or similar to host stuff, easier than using bandwidth on here....

Just copy & paste the 'code' under the pictures...

 

Here's a logo we designed for a customer and embroidered these jackets for him and also did some screenprinted tee shirts

 

I airbrushed this one up when I used to do a sketch pad type thing for Street Machine Magazine here in Australia, back in 1993. It was inspired by Charlie Smiths turn the car around backwards concept art that he applied to a few early corvettes, I thought an early Holden would work too, it's an EK Holden, sort of a 3/4 scale 57 chubby with a 300ZX roof.

 

Awesome work as usual guys! Here is some identity work I did for my friend Aaron "ichoptop, here on the HAMB." He's putting together a cool little hot rod film with footage he's compiled over the past couple years along with some vintage stuff.

Check it out!

Thanks Todd! Man, I should have thought out how much work the wings would be....for some reason they almost killed me....

 

Thanks for the kind words guys, more new ones next week.

Here's an Older design digitized for an Embroidery Trade Mag contest. Black 33 embroidered on Navy Polar Fleece.



My Banner done in Adobe Illustrator.



Ill finish off with a little Testors model paint on an Old Denim.....circa 1985

 

I'm the one with my head caved in.

 

That jacket rules.
...and brings back memories.

 

top notch work, I use the same method but with a mouse and this makes me want a wacom even more now. You can also post a picture by making an album in your profile and using the "insert image" icon when posting a reply, just copy and paste the link

Thanks yblock. Yeah, the wacom is the way to go. I checked out your album, great stuff. I really like the acrylic stuff. I graduate in june, industrial design as well. Keep sketchin.

 

Well I'm on the buzzed side tonight but I still have to say, that everyone is top shelf today, Lefty Lucy and Pontiac Ranch your work is killer. If I can only work a pencile like you guys I'd be rich, like you!

 

LOL, Thanks Man! Id like to have some of what your drinkin! Starvin artist here! Bar Tender.....Beer me! LOL

 

Thanks Bill, Todd, Ken and Harpboys4 much appreciated!

 

G'day there. Hey So-cal Pete; When you throw out the Monet can you please chuck it my way ? Few artists move me with their work like Monet does with his haystacks. Thanks Adelaide Festival of Arts 1990.
O.K; Let's blow some bubbles.. ( Hey you..c'mon.. enough crying.... )

 

Pacheco your stuff is so tight... what kind of tools do you use in your illustrations ? Clysdale always love your stuff too. Drawing from me:

 

Your truck sits nice and fires ideas of rattling down the road. I found my first published drawing (done when I was 12)- see if I can post it next week.
If you dig retro style there's a book which covers retro & all other styles since the forties that you'd enjoy- 'Car Design' by Paolo Tumminelli- teNeues Publishing Group 2004; ISBN 3-8238-4561-6. I've seen plenty of car books but this one has cool factory photos of cars I've never seen B4 ( Ford 'La Tosca' concept 1955- W0W ! ). Not cheap ( I paid $40 Australian) and only about A5 size but nice paper, excellent printing and amusing text in four languages. A keepsake.

 

That's the koolest.

 

Thanks Forty! I am diggin the profile on your 37 pickup. You have no idea how bad I want to build a truck like that. My next post will be my curent dream truck, Doubt I'll get the drawing done by the time the Friday Art Show ends this weekend but Im sure gonna try.

 

Nice stuff Tingler. Need to get her some small canvases.

I think you will find, that children are their most imaginative before
they start going to school, and the system sucks away their creativity.

 

Thanks for all the nice comments all.

The bubble top without the bubble.
This is closer to what I was thinking for color on the car. I think the candy pearl ivory and flaked blue scallops would compliment the chrome goodies well.
