    Hey guys, yeah it’s me again with more art projects for the team review..

    This time around, I’ve got 2 going at 50% and 1 in the design phase.. All of them with strong potential, so I just thought I share.. Some of you will like them, so some wont, no biggie.. I only ask that you enjoy the ride..

    WWII Nose art:

    It all stated out simple enough, an idea, a good stiff drink and a piece of wood..

    Here’ s my idea.. I’m thinking of doing something like this.. hey.. we all need to start somewhere.

    IMG_9390.jpg



    Happy with the basic layout, I’m cutting away..


    IMG_9397.jpg



    Just filling in the blanks to see what I have to work with..

    Well that’s all I got for this project team, I’m figure I’m about 50% complete at this point, I still haven’t figured out what color her hair is going be, I still need add tons of detail, but at least you can see where I’m going / heading.. I’m thinking of calling it:
    Long shoot
    The First Amendment
    Or TBD (open for ideas / suggests)

    Abstract Art

    Here’s a project that I’m actually really enjoying, my son’s B-day is next week and I decided to make a art piece to compliment his head board / waterbed I made him last year..

    I’m such a giver.. hahaha

    Anyway I, Started with a piece of wood, laid out my design, drilled my relief holes and just started cutting.

    Here’s what it looks like after a few hours of sanding, priming and starting on in on the first color

    IMG_9472.jpg



    Second color added

    IMG_9474.jpg



    I’m actually adding the red & blue on tonight, then the rest of colors tomorrow (hopefully). Regardless, this must be completed, sealed, and dried by Friday.. Wish me luck.

    I love that stuff (the pinups). I've been wanting to get quite a few done from the knee down but I'm not too sure about the tattoo artists around here. I know a handful don't have the skill it would take.

    that shotty is DOPE!

    Thank you sir.. but it's actually a full-size rifle / shotgun.. 18” barrel

    before haha.. (it's sooooooooooooooo plane)


    IMG_4848.jpg


    just some of the finer details..


    IMG_9256-3.jpg

    IMG_9258-2.jpg



    Looks great as always, man!
    That shotgun is awesome!

    Hey thank you MM... As always sir.. I deeply appreciate your time and the kinds words..


    To say the least.
    If that was mine, I wouldn't even need a case for it, as it would be hanging on the wall.




    (BTW, linkpimp, let me know if that shotty is ever up for sale or trade )

    Hey Benny.. Thank you so much for the kind words sir.. I'm actually / was going to put it on the hide for sale this weekend, I need some help funding a new project I’ve got in mind.. I'll shoot you pm and see if your interested..

    thanks




    I don't know that I would tart up an M1 carbine (some things are sacred and should be left alone), but the shotgun effing rocks!

    Thank you for the kind words on the shotgun and the advice on the M1, but.. lol.. I’ve got to me and I can just about guarantee you that it will turn out as good, if not better than the shotgun..


    You do awesome work man.

    Thank you sir.. Really thank you for the kind words , but to be honest with you, I'm just having some fun working on projects...


    More Mad Skillz!

    Hey Colt... Cool.. I'm glad you like them.. Wait to see the finish products my friend..

    Have a great Friday and safe and sane weekend..

    Link..



    Envious once again. That shotgun is AMAZING!!

    hahahaa.. Thank you Mitch..
