Wipeout

What with all those freaks surfing their cars on the sea, it's inevitable that one occasionally wipes out.  I hope that Chrysler has really big airbags.

Warglobe Number One


Yes, I know.  It's not so much a globe as a bell jar.  "War Bell Jar" just doesn't sound cool.  Besides, it's a prototype, to test the concept of Warglobes.  Branding accuracy comes at a later stage, after the bugs are shaken out of the design.

The top picture is the original painting.  The bottom piece is a gently tweaked version I made in photoshop, just for something to do on a lazy Sunday.

Yet another 1957 Dodge Pickup Painting

I think I've drawn or painted the 1957 Dodge pickup more than any other car or truck.  There's a bone stock orange one at the beach, a Power Wagon gasser, a Power Wagon lowrider, and three Sweptside Surf Weirdos.  I don't get tired of painting them.  Maybe I'll do a Sweptside power Wagon next.

Yes, the red on the cab and the bed side is supposed to be mismatched.  I prefer vehicles that show a little age, look like they've been driven and not stored in a climate controlled, carpeted garage.  It gives them a character you can't fake or buy in a can.

Jackpot

What with all those walking monkeys surfing their cars and trucks, it's inevitable that, occasionally, one will wipeout and their ride will wind up at the bottom of the sea.  At that point, it's finders keepers.

Aerial Weirdos 18

"Let's see them tack a parking ticket on that!"

If I had to do this piece again, I think I'd warm up the sky, make the Chevy pop a bit more.  Oh, well, there's always the next painting.

SMACK!!!

"OW!!"

"Time was, a girl could walk on the beach without having to worry about being accosted by rude tentacled monster things."

Sometimes, it's best not to ask where ideas come from.  Just paint them and make room in your brain for more of them.

Cactus Migration 2

It's a little different this time.  Instead of being content to scuttle across the desert, they've started stealing cars and trucks.  Reports of stolen vehicles and reckless cacti are coming in from all over.  They seem to prefer convertibles, though at least one school bus has been reported stolen, and there are rumors that a Zamboni machine was taken, though this has not been confirmed.
