Hi everybody! I've been out of town trying to make big things happen, so I haven't been on here as much lately. Did anyone miss me??? LOL!
So I'll give you a run down of what's been going on.
I got asked to paint up a few skate board decks to be donated as trophies at a custom car/truck show down in Ft. Smith Ar. Here's a few pics of them...
The blue one was awarded for "best artwork/graphics". And the flaked-out one was awarded for "best paint". The blue one may look familar to some of you. It is the same blue goblin face I did on Larry's bike (solvent pop repair job). I still had the original artwork laying around, and it fit perfectly. Did both of them in 4 days. I'm currently working on a "Ghost Rider" deck to keep for personal demos at shows. More of this will come.
Anyway, the head promoter of this show needed one more trophy. And I just happened to have a blank deck and my pinstriping supplies with me sooooo. After talking with this guy for awhile after the show settled down, he informs me he's looking for a painter to do up his new lifted dodge. So a deal is made, and after I finished up a few jobs back home, I was back off to Ft. Smith to paint this truck. Which by now is on it's way to Sema. In 26 days! No pressure!
Here's a few pics of some of the jobs I did before I left town. One of which was Rob's Mad Clownz Disease bike. You've already seen it tho.
No this isn't my work! This is the factory paint job I had to match, scratch that, I mean make it better! This bike was wrecked, and I was hired to re-do his paint on fresh tins.
Which one do you like better?
Unfortunatly, I did have to use stencils on this job. Something I NEVER do. But I couldn't go too far from the original concept. The idea was to match the original, not decimate it with sick free-hand madness! And of course, the money didn't allow me to go crazy with it. But it still turned out pretty cool, and I was proud of it!
I was in a bit of a hurry, so I didn't get as many pics as I wanted. But you get the idea. I wish I could have added drop shadows under the shreds, but I had to stay consistant to the side covers which were not damaged. Then they ended up having me do the sides anyway. Oh well...
Here's another. This was done to look like another that I did. The client really liked the first one I did, but wanted a little more. This was the result.
This guy wanted to throw some thanks to his wife, who helped him buy the bike while he was overseas.
That's enough for this post. I'll get some pics of the Sema truck downloaded later tonight.
Later peeps!
