Keith Weesner
____ Bash
Thom Taylor
BRIAN BASS !!!!
Barnett
Hamilton
................ Hold on I'm still thinkin'..............

 

Picasso, Chopt34, and Weesner are probably my favorites. I also really dig Sailor, Brush, and Mcphail's work.

Almost all of the Friday Art Crowd is worthy of listing. We have some serious talent around here.

 

trossley,barnett,r. williams,brush,

man i quit,too impossible to pick a top ten with so many great talents

 

I like this work from Spud Murphy.

 

Did you guys forget about the GREAT work Chad (Django) did on our calendar?

 

I love Keith Weesner's work. My black Rodders Journal shirt is my favorite. Also I thought it was funny that it took a whole page before anyone mentioned Von Dutch.

 

How about George Trosley and Steve Austin frome the old CARtoons mags? Loved their art. Also like Keith Weesner, McPhail, Barnett, Brush, PPoC, Safariknut, and the rest of the Friday Art Show "Crew".

 

Richard Hughes... A central Pa guy that does super traditional stuff.

I will have to add Adam Padilla (13horrorshow13) www.speedandterror.com

and Willy Fisher
www.daddyodesigns.com

to the list!

 

Well I guess we can take Dave Mann's name off the 10 best LIVING artists;he passed away last night after a long illness.

 

Robert Williams? Wasent he the first to ever draw a car?
I think he was.
Or maybe it was him that helped Al Gore with that internet
thingy.
Personally i like that idea of Hank Cash being included,
as well as Mc Phail and Weesner

 

1. Shawn Kerri
2. Trosley
3. Brush
4. Von Tingler
5. Barnett
6. Dan Picasso
7. Jaded42
8. Safariknut

Your class runneth over.

 

Dan Picasso. Amazing.

 

Whoops, guess I skipped over the part that said "living".

 

Jim, I don't think EITHER of us need to revisit that one...

 

OK, fine but how about instead of continuing to talk about eventually selling let's say 500 "limited edition" pairs of headlights for $2,000 you just cut out the middle man and sell ONE PAIR for $1,000,000? Think of all the savings that can be made on advertising, labor, shipping and manufacturing. Make it "1-of-1" and someone will have to step up!

 

Frank Palmer...

 

Too late bro... They are on the market... But your plan would have been alot easier...

By the way, I would be more than happy to sell you a set for $2,000, Can deliver tomorrow, where do you want them Sent?

 

Thanks. I had a big list all typed out...I deleted it...just browse the Friday Art threads...this place is bustin at the seams with talent!!!! There's WAAAY more than 10 REALLY talented artists on this board...no need to even look elsewhere. Every friday the art show either inspires me or completely overwhelms me and makes me wanna go back to cookin. seriously.

As for "non-HAMBers" (they're registered lurkers)...fellow DEADBEATS, Jime' Litwalk and Jeff Shea. These two guys are outta control.

Can't forget Palmer (who else?) either.

 

Man, where to start. As already mentioned there is some great talent here on the HAMB. Here is some that I like and sorry that I have to remove Dave Mann as he would have been in my list.

Tom Fritz
Thom Taylor
Kenny Youngblood
Steve Sanford
Jeff Norwell
Kent Bash
D. Mayabb
Foose
Dave Bell
Weesner
Jimmy Smith

Still couldn’t cut it down to 10.

 

indeed, there are more than 10, more like 10 hundred, give or take.

the sweep of approach, style, commitment and ability within the realm of 'car' art is pretty damned amazing, and that the brethren here on the board have such deep respect for each other and each other's talents....well, that's awfully cool. we kind of stick together that way.

I can't add to the list- all y'all have covered it.

do us a favor, though- buy.

 

You can never narrow this list down to just 10 because of the vast amount of talent that shows itself through so many different media...so I'll just say this

Ron Myers
Whodaky
Barnett
Jeem
Hamilton
Johnny and Kali
Whiskey
Toyghoul
Brush
Daddy-O
Von Franco

These are in no particular order and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface to name all the wonderfully talented people that have influenced so many.

 

In no particular order

McPhail
Weesner
Von Franco,
Youngblood
David Perry (photography is art...isn't it?)
Ed Newton
John Bell
Robt. Williams
Foose...yes...I said Foose
Thom Taylor

 

Barnett
Picasso
Smith
Dave Bell
Thom Taylor
and not car related..Rick Griffin

 

Yep, Dan P. said it best.

My biggest fear about a list is missing someone. Everybody brings something different to the table.

Picasso also said it best when he said Support your Hot Rod Arteest!

Oh. Bob McCoy, haven't heard anyone mention him (he is certainly a living legend).
