lowbrow art – Carpy’s Cafe Racers

Well, as it is almost the end of the year, I wanted to add something today as I was in a painting mood and a few months ago I had a customer come to the shop to purchase a bunch of parts, on his arm was a tattoo similar to this and that inspired me to have a go and see if I can paint a big Canvas as this would make a great wall hanging for someone.

This is a BIG panting and It measure 24 inches by 30 inches, its on a stretched canvas and I used a Electric blue water base for the background, the rest of the painting I used Enamel by “House Of Kolor”

I have always liked to doodle around with paint etc, I am no artist and there are so man cool talented people out there, but for me, this is my sort of Therapy to get away from work and just enjoy drawing and painting.

If you like this, it is available for sale at $150, this would look great in a Club room, Garage, Gallery, workshop r anywhere to be honest.

I thought I would show it on here as I paint all sorts of things as well as make steam punk style lamps too.

I am sure most people can sketch and draw, I wish I had the finesse to knock out some cool Hot Rod Girl B- Movie poster but alas, I donot have that skill.

I just wanted to try and show another side of what I am into, you may not like it and that’s fine, just something I love to do to get away from the other things I do ere at the shop and give me a break from Motorcycles and Hot Rods etc.

Have a go yourself sometimes as you will be amazed at what you can do when you put your mind to it and of course, if you are into that style of painting or subject, then it helps you out so much more.

Thanks for looking and I hope I at least made you stop and think and maybe just get you to have a go at drawing or painting.

Whilst running around on a weekend with Jennifer- my Girlfriend, we popped into my favorite book store in Hollywood, and Wacko book store has not just cool reading material, it has a very cool gallery for art and sculptures etc.

These started off as the Rat Fink statues, but artists have painted them to their own liking.

I wanted to share some of these with you as we were so suprised to see the iconic figure pop up in such a quantity.

Rat Fink has been something I have been into for many decades and am very good froends with the Roth family, so everytime I see anything cool like this, I try and Blog about it and share with you lot out there.

Many styles here and we had a great time at Wacko as everytime I shot that store, there is something different to feast your peelers on.

I took photo’s of all the ones on display, that way you can see what we did and be suprised as I was to the different styles people came up with.

This was the last day of the show too, so was lucky to even see it that weekend.

We spent about an hour in this place and it was well worth the visit down from the O.C.

I am not sure where these will end up but I hope you enjoyed having a look at this collection?

So many different variety’s and on a quiet weekend too, so a big surprise to see these for us.

If you are a fan of R.F. like I am, its great to see a collection such as these.

I used to paint these and sell as cool gift idea’s but after about 20 of them, you forget what colors you used, so stopped doing them and, these are getting harder to find these days, as well as the price has gone up too.
