Went back 5 pages didnt see Friday Art Show started yet so here goes,
one of my mixed photo/illustrations

 

Thanks for starting this Johnny.
Sort of car related. I was going to do a tech kind of post on this one
but got too involved in it and didn't do it. Now that I find it's Tech
week, I should have.

I had never tried something like this and I was itching to try it out. I
have already started on another one, this time a drive-in theme.
Hope you all like it. The letters are 1/4 in. ply as well as the 66 disc.
Approx 40 in. wide.

I'm in.

Kids out of school, training a puppy, preasures of the day job, baseball, softball,... all fun but take time. Did take time to knock out a few sketches, tho.

First couple are the same roadster drawn in different styles; the first is semi-realistic, the second more cartoony but in it's unnatural environment,
mussin' with the eco-system...



Those are smaller diameter Auburn/Cord/Duesenberg style pipes running to lake pipes along the rails...

 

new job...

 

nice pics, thanks. Rags

LOWCAB, must be the week for signs. That looks great, nice work on the ageing.

A friend had this old oil co "tombstone" sign and wanted it painted for his shop. I never claimed to be a sign painter but I thought it came out OK.

We played with the wording just to see if anyone was paying attention. lol

Dropped it off today, He wasn't there, Hope he likes it.

 

Great stuff Jeff, as always. Von Franco's looks great, too.

Here's a couple more quickys, just for the fun of it, before I get back to the grind;

not sure what make this is beyond what my brain made me draw:

Made it back to the Peterson auto museum for a company sponsored event. Here are a few more shots of things I missed the first time. Some 'RF' inspired artwork and original Roth sketch and silk screen.

 

I was invited to carve tikis at the Tiki Eyeball Show in Peru, Illinois last weekend. When I finished carving, the traditional way to darken the recessed areas is to burn them, so I found a Voodoo King with a bitchin 59 Caddy with huge flamethrowers. I asked him to "help me finish the job". He lit the cans and the rest is history.

 

Here are a few more shots.

 

The last one is how it sits without a final coat of stain and clear. This is a shot of the the carving before cooking it.

 

careful with that axe Eugene.

 

Here's a little striping I did last week.

 

...finished up a bike for my little guy...and some Rig striping ...all I got pics of...SUPER busy week comin' up so should have a bunch for next week.

 

Some really great talent on this board! Great Stuff!! I am soo envious of people like you.....wish I had some stuff of my own.

I was given these concert posters for the band "Clutch"(cool band) a few days ago. They are by Jeral Tidwell (check him out at www.humantree.com)

 

Great stuff as usual. Man, if only I could draw like the people here!
