How about an art show?

[JasonWalstrom]

We do this thing on the Jalopy Journal(an online forum for hot rodders) featuring an occasional friday art show where Pinstripers and the like share their artwork. Some really cool stuff would be shown, and I think that would be a fun event for this forum. So how about a picture of your favorite painting(s)?

I'll start with this one, it's a liquid acrylic and coffee stained painting featuring Hans "King Whiskers" Langseth...Guinness World Record holder for longest beard.

[Chad Smith]

Same on Jockey Journal, Now... if I could just find that painting of John Holmes to add to the "theme" Man with the longest.............

[JasonWalstrom]

Just took a look at that site, pretty rad place.

hahaha...Johnny Wadd.

[Stefan Johnsson]

I like to see more paintings, so I guess I should post one of mine.

[JasonWalstrom]

I really like this one Stefan! I've seen quite a bit of your work online, really good stuff! I'm a big fan. Thanks for sharing!

Oooh, keep it up! Can't wait to see what comes up next.

[The Hyena]

Ok well, let's see. Hope this helps build the thread. Not really sure if there's any theme or anything here or if we are just posting work.

So here:

Our shop (Anonymous Tattoo) just had an opening for a show of paintings we've all been working on and planning for the past 9 months or so.

We each did two body suit paintings. However we felt like doing them. Some are very tattoo-ish some are more painterly and loose.

Hope you enjoy.

First up is Clay McCay.

His are titled: "Kundalini" and "dragon"

Acrylic on wood. I think they're like 7 feet tall. by probably 3 wide.

Next is Kim Reed.

Hers are titled: "Garden of Eden 1 & 2"

Oil on canvas

[The Hyena]

Next is Zack Spurlock.

His are titled "untitled"(panther) and "Chains"(jap)

Liquid acrylic on paper. Mounted on wood.

Next is Ricky McGee

His are both "Untitled"

Charcoal and acrylic on wood.

[The Hyena]

next is our counter guy, Matte Wagner.

He does a lot of cool collage shit.

His is titled "Evolutionarianism"

It's a digital collage on paper. Mounted on wood.

Here's mine. It's a front and back of the same imaginary person.

They are titled: "A Travelling Man 1 & 2"

Ink and watercolor on paper. Mounted on wood, and shellaced.

72x36

Thanks. Hope you enjoyed.

Damn! What a great idea, that must be one hell of a shop. I like that the shop helper was involved, too. Fabulous stuff!

[Rob_Gilk]

Ron, your stuff has the stuff, if you know what I mean, fucking badass.

[Stefan Johnsson]

Very cool stuff, Ron! Thanks for showing us those paintings.

[JasonWalstrom]

Agreed with all of the above! Great stuff man, and like mentioned before, great that the whole shop was involved. Would love to see more!

[JasonWalstrom]

On another note, my friend and coworker Lefty has recently been doing many trades with other painters whom he respects. They would each paint a smaller piece (5"x7"ish) in trade. I really liked that idea. So if anyone is interested, I'd love to paint some smaller stuff and trade with any of you good folks in the hopes of filling a very bare wall at work.

[The Hyena]

Thanks dudes. Stephan, I've always liked your shit.

[Stefan Johnsson]

Thanks, Ron. I feel the same about your stuff.

[Gia Dobson]

Love, love, love the body suit series. Did I mention I love it?

[dari]

i love them, too.

Gia, there's so much about this site that makes me want to say "I love you guys," but I've held back, so far.

[Lochlan]

I really enjoyed this thread when it was started as I think lots of others did as well.......anyone have some new art they want to share??????

[MsRad]

i just ordered a huge lot of vintage photographs to continue my collection, and i'm about to buy a new sketchbook. hopefully i'll have some new art soon...

[The Hyena]
