Art & Inspiration Super Early Friday Art Show.

Ok, I hit my head real hard and I forgot what day it was... actually I'm just really excited about some recent art stuff andI couldn't wait to share. I've been working with Travis (WLSPDSHOP) on some stuff for his coupe and this is what came of it. I'm going to add a few things to the color version and sell some prints:





also, weldit saw that sketch and wanted his tudor done in just the same style, so I drew this:

 

Nate,

I love the color/shading, it adds another dimension to your work.

Here is a pinstripe paint color display I did for ALSA, it's 11" X 28". It should be coming to a paint store/dealer near you soon.

Sean

 

I done this for a friends birthday.He's a big kiss fan.It's not quite finished yet.

 

Sketch of a sleeve that my tattoo artist did for me. Still needs a couple of changes but it is getting started next sunday.

 

A painting I done did.



Another.......

 

Nate, I love your style man, I wish I could sketch cars like you do. I love the pencil marks and the hand-drawn quality of the sketches, so to me the cleaned-up and colourized version loses something (like taking a barn-find car and turning it into a high dollar ride). Still very cool and great work.

 

Awww, what the hell, Another one....

And some info for those who like to read a little about the art. What you see going on here is my attempt to paint with acrylics and make them look as nice as one shot.

Now, working on canvas, thats more difficult than painting one shot on metal..at least its more difficult to get the paint to look relatively smooth. One shot lays down like butta for the most part and with acrylics, you gotta work at it. ehhhh too much info......Its an ongoing process. I'm pleased with the results.

I'm also working on blending the acrylics with the airbrush to somewhat get the effects of painting with oil paints. I'm trying to get the paintings to look like I didn't use an airbrush....more or less. Sometimes I really like the look the airbrush makes. I really get off on the juxtaposition of the fuzzy airbrushing against the hard lines of the outlines and brushed on acrylic paint.

ehhhh....again, probably too much info.

 

Killer as usual Tingler!

here's my latest shitty monster shirts.

 

´54 Buick done with markers and airbrush

 

Jeanne...that buick is gorgeous!

Amazing stuff this week guys!!!!

Nate your sketches are awesome as always...

...and Janne your renderings are SOOOO clean!!!

Well the Girls of Viva thread had me drawing some pinups this week....

...this is a drawing from a photo of Sabina Kelly....then I scanned it in and did some quick color on it...


...then I did this one from no reference...this lovely gal popped outta my head...I wanted to make more of a curvy pinup...

 

Man, those aren't shitty!

You are being way too modest.


Are you using a marker for the black out lines?
Just wondering......

The one on the right is my favorite of yours so far. Very cool.


We should have an exclusive MONSTER T-SHIRT art show some friday on the HAMB. Nobody would be allowed to post anything except monster shirts....

.....Heeeeeyyyyyyy Von Franco...you listening?

BAAAaaarnnnett....are you out there.

K-member....get those brushed fired up.....

Johnny and Kali.....heeeeeeyyyyyyy what do you think?

BOOM BOOM....You in?????

What do you say Krup???

I think it sounds like fun. Of course we'd have to get tough with anyone caught posting anything other than a MONSTER shirt....



COOL Man...sick and nasty. hehe.

 

here is my contribution for this week




Tim

 

its been a while since i posted last. here's a 3 color t-shirt design i did for gearhead magazine a couple of months ago.

 

Crapper seat!!! for a friend.

 

Thanks!
Your stuff along with Franco, and Boom Boom is inspiring me.
Yep, just black sharpies and spray cans so far, real old school

I have no art background what so ever so I'm still figuring out shading. forget color!

I WILL air brush shirts some day. It's too much fun to not try my dang'dest to get half way good at it.
I'm trying to get my designs sketched and inked with a bit more detail on paper before I try a shirt.

Man, an all monster shirt art show would be bitchin'!
Let’s do it!

 

Some "shit" i did for a friend

 

Did some more on the Buick....may be finished for this weeks F.A.S. but may be not....

 

Het Tingler, the cat rules! That would make a bitchin T-shirt.

 

Amazing talent shown this week........as usual. Tingler...great stuff, inkslinger love the detail on the shitter lid.

Been some time since I've posted anything. Here's a crazy panel for this weeks contribution.

 

WOW! You guys never cease to blow me away with this stuff.

Haven't had much time to practice lately but I did get do some more on my new filing cabinet.



Still struggling for perfect symetry, even using grid lines, but the more I look at this one the more I like it.

 

I did a few drawings during my lunch hour this week at work.
Ball point pen on copier paper.
I've got to get my scanner working. Pictures don't come out very well when photographed. OH Well.

Josh

 

Cool stuff guys....very cool.

Here is a newish Tshirt that I don't think I've shown before.....

 

Ehhh what the hell, here is another
Barnett owns this one....its an oldy but a goody.

Title: Rat Fuck.

Funny that I read about a week ago that Roth originally called RAT FINK, Rat Fuck....later changing the FUCK to FINK to satisfy the general public.

....hmmmm....moral of the story, its very difficult for a fella to be 100% original nowdays.

 

Awesome panel, Scott! Welcome to the big leagues!

Great show this week fellas, Sinister: Great drawings, Tingler: You already know I'm a big fan, Inkslinger: That RF is so cool!

Joel

 

great show guys! i'll have some finished stuff up tomorrow or sat.
