Tim, She does stuff like that all the time. When she's done, the pinup not only would look like your wife, but she could also add more dreamy proportions too. She's a portriat artist and muralist by trade. r
Great work! Have her start studying world war nose art stuff. I'm sure guys would go nuts over that style too.
Sorry for sounding rude or smug...that was not meant directly on her talent but rather the artists who have cashed in big lately with prints that incorporate vargas and petty girls and call it there own with most being none-the-wiser. I still think she has tremendous talent and should definately pursue it full-throttle, seriously. Lets face it, people will want to give her examples of art to work from and many will be vargas and pettys. The ability to transfer that image in detail is a skill in its own right and is highly regarded. Technique is the hardest thing for an artist to master and I think she has accomplished that very well.
You need to hit up the Friday art shows with that stuff. You could sell the snot out of those at the Oshcosh Fly-in.We love pin ups. Great job!
FANTASTIC!! WOW! Tell here she is an inspiration for a little 11 year old girl! My daughter has been practicing and learning how to pinstripe, (with lots of prodding and encouragement from me) but in all actuallity she has kinda been at a "stalemate" because there are now SO many stippers around So I showed her this and she said " Daddy she is really good, do you think if I practiced I could be THAT good?"!!!!! I said yes and she then said "good because there are SO MANY pinstrippers I would rather do -pin ups-"...NOW so you all know she doesn't really know what a pin-up is other than a pretty lady, so I am encouraging her and (without asking first---sorry) I printed the pictures for her and she is tracing them to practice on NOW!!! MUSHY... yeah Cute ...Yeah I had to share it with you all!!! Ken
As the committee for the nose art on the Confederate Air Force's B-17G told the very talented female artist when she unveiled the artwork, "After a quick consult, we are in agreement that this beautifully detailed and authentic example of WWII nose art needs bigger tits, ma'am." She smiled at the old graybeards surrounding her and said "Coming right up!"
damn robin!!!! if you every get lost and are up here in northeast , mo, let me know!!!!!!! id love to have your wife paint something for me!!!! or if your goin to kennys sometime let me know and ill bring something down!!!!amazing stuff!
Hey Robin, Look'n KOOL!!! Your wife is very talented, would she want to do one on my Merc?? I might be at the Stray kat 500 this year in Dewey. If she can meet me there, put me on the list. This is what i would like on my front quarter panel or maybe or glove box. This picture was a post on the HAMB years ago and I've been in love ever since I saw it. Let me know if she is interested. I could take my glove box door off and ship it your direction??? Happy Trails, Mick
I could sure make the trip down the Interstate if she could give me a price for nose art on my modified.
Good work. I actually have the blonde in the red swimsuit tattooed on my forearm.. Looks suspiciously like my wife. So, I tell everyone it's my wife.
I have about a 4" area on one of my bass guitars that could use one of these - similar to the Lucky Lady on your heater box. 'Bout how much to do a nice redhead?
I'm planning on going to either Dewey or Lawrence and will definitely be at the Drags, would LOVE some of her work on my car!
Thtas some great talent there,id love to get my car done,you guy plan on going to any south east shows.
Really impressive work, Mammas got the gift, are you guys going to the 07 Greasearama? I may be ahead of myself, but I'm hoping they will have the show at the same drive-in movie joint as last year. It was really a fun place and she could have'm waitin in line for that great art work. I would be reserving an appointment myself for sure. I need to contact Tod at American Greasers Supply and see if that is a go. If so you may want to contact them and reserve a space "in the shade" along the tree line. We aren't that far apart so would hope we could hook up some time to have her do me a pin-up on my 57 chebby. I'm pinup crazy. Lets work on this one.-Sololobo
Nitrobrother, It's funny you mention that. I had her paint all over my bass guitar. leadsledbuick, Probably not this year. Come to the drags. Packrat, I think we'll be at Dewey this year. I need to talk to Mick about it. What show are you thinking of in Lawrence? JOECOOL, Send me an email or PM with your information about what you want. Sololobo, I will be at Greasorama. I'll try and talk my wife into stopping by. And thanks guys for all the good talk about my wife... Oh did I say that? r
Amy does very nice work. I've seen what's around their house, and it's really good. It's like an art museum in the house and a car museum in the garage....
