My name is Jeremy Lockard and I am from Niles Ohio. My c.c. brother Grumpy has been ridin me to get registered for a while and my lazy**** finally did. The whole J-Bird name is what i sign all of my pinstriping and art work with. It's a little better than just signing my regular name. Besides, it runs in the family. I have been around hot rods and customs my whole life thanks to my dad. I started out in my teens with the lowered pickup stuffand hopped up camaros, but that quickly went by the way side. Currently in the garage is a 1963 Tempest A/FX clone, a 46 chevy pickup project, and a 1950 ford coupe that is minnesota bound within the next couple weeks. I am currently looking for somethin else to play with, but the cash is low till i sell some other stuff. Once i do get somethin else, i am sure this place will help tons when i get in a bind. I am currently in the USWA union at one of the only surviving mills in the area. But lets hope that doesn't last long, cause i want my artwork to start payin the bills. (Yeah, I know, Good luck.) All of my time is spent doing automotive art from pinstriping, T-shirt designs, glass etching, oil paintings, furniture in the near future, and anything else one can think of. I want to thank Caffiene for throwin my pic up from the Detroit Autorama show. That plexiglass with the spray paint on the back is kick****. My panels have takin on a whole new life. I may be a little technologically inept, but I will do my best to get my rear in the seat here and try not to piss anybody off. I'm out to go roll in the snow. Good talkin to ya. Jeremy 'J-bird' Lockard
Welcome aboard, the striping that is on the 61 Buicks, and the Galaxie, looks great, I****ume it is your work?
About time! I'll throw some pics up of jeremy in action. And no, he doesn't just date strippers, he's bagged a real live pornstar!! My wife followed him around the house with Lysol after that encounter He's responsible for the striping on Hotrodphotos(Spike)'s 61 Buick bubbletop, and 1lowlesabre's 61 Buick, the Galaxie I have listed in the classifieds right now, and he flamed my 53 GMC I sold last year. Plus many others I forget. pics
I'll bump this back up because someone(Mikev)was looking for a pinstriper, and Jeremy is not far away. Plus Jeremy doesn't get online very often.
Welcome to the HAMB I have been admiring your work for sometime now....Go post a bunch of pics in the friday art show and youll be set....JAMIE
Welcome J-Bird! First off I want to thank you personally for the striping you did on my Buick. It makes the car that much more unique. Very nice work. Hope I gave you guys enough credit in Speed and Chrome, you certainly deserve it. Second- your paintings are amazing. wish I could afford one of those too (But at least I have the Buick) Anyway, nice seeing you here and I wish you much success. also, send in some pics of your work to Traditional Rod and Kulture. we do artist propfiles and your work deserves some ink. It may help get your name out there. Spike
Thanks Jamie, I will do my best on gettin my***** in gear for the friday art show. LIke I said, I am a little technologically retarded, so it my take a couple weeks. But trust me, i am all about it
Ok, now that I see that your responsible for some kickass work that's been floating around the HAMB, a big WELCOME! There's always room for more stripers around here I figure. See ya on Fridays. Joel
Welcome from another Niles-onian, J-Bird. I've seen some of your striping work at the cruises around here and it's awesome! Jan
