Thanks Chris and Jen, but Im flying from Atlanta back to Ca in a few days. I was in Memphis doin magazine ****(hence the car picture), then took a few days off to roam around the Ozarks and listen to Hillbilly music, and look up some civil war stuff. Nuttin exciting.

Hey Coupe De Cab, Is that show part two or an anti "Beautiful Looser" shoow? I dig that piece. I love that ****. My roomate Scott did this in College.

 

Well, apparently this week was "white and red" week for all the work I had to do...........

 

It's Friday somewhere. This is something I did for this year's "Blessing of the Cars".(Not the Anti-blessing) Still going strong for 12 years now. One of the original "Kulture" shows. Always fun. -stick

 

that looks cool. i like the preacher.

heres some pics from an old cementary in E.LA.

 

Hi Steve, was good to see you tonight, sorry we couldn't stay longer, but it was fun.....Ginger loved the quote you came out with......

"I've changed from Hot Rods to Monkeys in my painting's this week"

Too funny....Hey, if anyone's about, you need to go check out this Art Show.

Oh, almost forgot.....here's my offering's for this week.....

Guys!!!! I'm not tring to sound like a ***HOLE or anything! (Athough I usually do) OK! A lot of the art on here I hold way above my scratch *** production ****! I'm suggesting and asking... Please quit using WHITE!!!! Dump imitation gold in that white and make IVORY!!!!! BONE WHITE.... ALREADY POPPED VIRGIN WHITE!!! what ever you whant to call it. Through out your piece. paint a mural,,, use ivory for all your white additives... it will add 30 years too your stuff.... NO ****! White and red or any other color will look cheap once you switch to ivory. Youll see.
The art that shows up on this board is the real deal... Real guys... Real love, and great examples of whats going on in the Hot Rodding world. please take this as just a sugestion.

..................I'm certainly no art critic and would hardly call myself an "artist".............but Josh has the right to do both and if he says that white ain't happening, it AIN'T! At least give it a try........

 

Rollie I dig your work. Cab those P.O.T.A. Paintings are great. Rob do you ever stop?

I just messed around this week.

 

Sometimes you don't get the choice...I can't tell you how often I can't convince the customer to use colors that would better suit the job at hand. It's like when I know ONE color of striping is all the car/bike NEEDS, but the owner HAS to have 2 or even 3 colors. Or, how many more red and white on black striping jobs are gonna be squeezed outta my brush?

But, yeah, you're right...Off-White is the new White.

 

Ok . Heres som pics for the art show.waterbased acrylpaint on canvas. (why make it simple) have u ever tryed pinstriping waterbased colour on CANVAS. thats f,,,,,, hard. But thats the Norwegian way."do everything the hardest way ,and hopefully learn something" ???? naaaa.

Were coming to Calif. the 21 of May to 4 of july. buying things to our cars, Krooozin around, going to Paso ... make some new friends ...drink some beers it will be c ya

 

I really dig what you do on that canvas......




My birthday is in august btw....

Haha,Im gonna have to WELD for you untill year 2050.......

 

I'm trying to learn to pinstripe and been looking for ANYTHING to stripe and came across this...it's my pool sweep. Hey, Dad always said if ya ain't gonna be fast, you'd better look fast!

 

rollie awesome sign i love it

cab you are a ruler

 

try telling a customer that!

 

I wanted to post and give props to Kustom Keifer. Last week's Friday Art Show, he posted this sketch. It blew me away because my wife and I honeymooned on Maui, stayed at the Ka'anapali Beach Resort, and had our picture taken in front of this tiki. Best time of our lives.

So, I PM'ed Keifer and gave him a call at his shop on Saturday. Had a chance to talk to him and his wife. Nicest people. We had a good talk about how awesome Maui is. And he agreed to make me a print of the sketch!

Yesterday I got home and found the print delivered to my house. That's right. I saw the sketch on last Friday's Art Show, and had my own print in time to post for this Friday! The price was super reasonable too. I surprised my wife with it. It brought her to tears. We're going to frame it and put it in our bedroom with all the other Hawaii stuff we've got going. It's nice to wake up every morning and get a little taste of that honeymoon.

So, here's my plug for Keifer. Cool people, cool art.

I have been selling art more then making it this week, but I managed to get this close to done. the original picture was from the HAMB but I can't remember who's.

 

I agree guys... and biker ***s are the worst. Just grit your tetth and tell em it will look like ****. (Thats where I start soundin like an ***hole) 90 percent of guys that want red and white, really saw red and ivory, they just dont know it. make em beleve it... tell em you havent used white on a stripe for at least 6 months. The doctor that owns the bike will think he's "Behind the times" and go for it.

And YES I agree, my brushes are gonna burn themselves in protest if I do another red and ivory on black!! But damn it looks good! and i make em do it anyways.

Thanks,
Joshua Shaw.

 

wholly **** you're good. it's great

 

Ichoptop...I think that's my bike! Let me know if you want to get rid of that one. Looks killer.
