    Since we lost a great artist and hamber very recently......I felt we should dedicate this weeks ART show in memory of Bill Drake.

    He was one of the first guys I met here and was a gentleman,familyman and great guy.

    Bill, I hope your burning rubber with St. Peter thru the pearly gates.

    JimmyB-- Nice work. The red/maroon version of the Cole-built 36 is pretty cool.

    Fortypickup--- that "Backseat Driver" is great. One of your best yet IMO!

    Norwell & Surf Monkey--- I have always admired (to put it lightly) both of your work... yall definitely keep raising the bar!

    I've been so busy I missed reading about BDrake. Sad to hear... will be praying for the family.

    Hey guys, I was saddened to hear about Bill....Very talented individual. R.I.P Mate!

    Quality work going on from all so far but a big hats off to Jeff with that startling array of fine work! Well impressed mate!

    I have a couple this week, poss one more to add this evening if I get it finished.

    First is an attempt at coloured pencils after seeing Monkeys awesome work week after week, bit grainy for my liking but should be getting some decent pencils and paper soon!

    [​IMG]

    Next up, a piece that took a while to finish. Acrylic on canvas (for sale) Excuse the rubbish picture. My camera skills have gone awol! :)

    [​IMG]

    I have another acrylic piece I'm working on today, so I'll hopefully get it posted tonight!

    Mister Paterson, Those images are fantastic. I'm going to try an acrylic here soon but it'll be tough to match your masterful work.

    dRaGuLa_, Love the photos!

    flyingP, Uno, fantastico Cheby, Bro! Viva la Polock!!!

    Here's a couple black and whites for now. (The other two are stuck somewhere in cyber-space uploading to Photobucket.) These are works in progress and are also possible contenders for the Oh So Low art challenge show...
