here is another. After an hour the cloud went miles up and look exactly like a blast over Hirioshima! It was scarey lookin. As shit luck would have it....I was outta film. I called my wife outta the garage to come and look. At first she actually thought is was a real Nuke blast! HAHAHAH
What a stellar shot Mike. That cloud is amazing. HBDeluxe- Those are sweet! watercolor? marker? I've been shooting late models lately so here's an old one. Off topic but so ON topic.
If I lived on the ocean, the HAMB would be a message board dedicated to spreading the gospel of traditional surfing to long hairs world wide - not a hot rod board.
WOW!Too much great stuff this week! Here's a couple pics of my surfboard before the "shark"(aka the trusty B&D sabresaw)got it.Also three panels I did this afternoon along with a couple of helmets.These were all yard sale finds.Two of the panels are 3X5 note pad holders with glittery plastic covers.The other panel is a small piece of painted particle board with holes in the back to hang on a wall.The helmets were near-new except for a couple of drop dings.I got them at the same place I bought the engine-run tire inflator for $5 apiece.The panels set me back an astounding thirty cents for all.
the other side.BTW the circle on the top is the original decal.I masked it off before painting.Anyone ever hear of a Good Day Sunshine board?
Shaking my head here in amazement. What a Friday, so much neat stuff. It is hard not to be inspired. For the beginner looking for direction this is the place to be on a Friday. So many differing types of 'Art'. So many styles. So much that is unique. All presented by people with a real passion for their 'art'. And for those new here this week, you will find that you can ask any one here for advice and they are only to willing to offer it along with any little secrets that may assist. Was just sitting here thinking. Imagine what a show it would be if all 'our' art was physically displayed in the one place at the same time!. I know that will never happen because we are spread right across the world. But it is something neat to think about. I do feel so privileged to have found the HAMB, a place that has let me be exposed to so much neat stuff. But to be able to see all this hot rod art, most of which I may never have seen if it wasn't for the HAMB. Like most people who produce art, I toil away in the solitude of my own little world. So it is good to be able to venture out of that little world each week, into the unknown of the 'Friday Art' world. To each and everyone of you who contribute here, be it with art or just comments and encouragement, I thank you. It does mean a lot and makes us feel we are not alone. Wow, been a few weeks since I had a rant, ah well, some things I just need to express in words occassionally. But I'll add an image to make the up for the rant. This is one of my favorite striping pieces that I did earlier in the year. Kind of like the artist's solitude behind the lines. Did it at time when I had a few issues happening in my life. It is a time when I produced some interesting works. Geoff aka Whodaky
Can one of you talented stripers please do a penis design for next week and post it in honor of Cole and his penis comparison wishes?
[ QUOTE ] What a stellar shot Mike. That cloud is amazing. [ [/ QUOTE ] Thanks rick.....there was a forest fire just on the other side of those Mtns. And as the fire grew so did the size of the mushroom cloud. I wish I didnt run outta film. It was one of the more amazing sights I've seen. I have a question for ya rick. On yer web page there is a picture of a buick shootin some flames outta the pipe. Is that shot done with natural light? Or did you have some lighting set up?

I finally have something to add to the Friday Art Show! This is an old vinyl love seat that I've been working on for a while. I think it's almost done. and my coffee machine Allmy striping and lettering attempts can be seen HERE. Great stuff as always guys! Bill
All I got is some spray painted posterboard I stripped nice blurry pics to, and a t shirt design I working on.
It's natural light Mike. The sun was going down behind cloud cover so it was mostly dark. Set the camera for a sloooowww shutter speed (15-30 seconds) so he'd have plenty of time to get the flames on while the shutter was open. The white light you can see on the deck lid is from the license light (only one worked) in the overriders. The lights on the car are usually the only artificial lights I like to use...
Just a couple of update pics on the helmets I did tonight and then it's off to bed and wake up early to go to the Ed Roth show in Bluffton Indiana.
