Clearing The Cylinders

It's that miraculous barn find you always hear about. A local drag strip warrior from way back, discovered under a chicken crap encrusted tarp in a shed two blocks away. And it looks like it's all there, too. How awesome is that?

After a few hours of haggling, it's extricated from between the tractor carcass and the rusty bedsprings, and the process of resuscitation begins. Sure, it's a bit smoky, but what do you expect after six seasons of hard racing and fifty years in storage? The fact that the engine is even there to be fired up is nothing short of amazing.

Aerial Weirdos #3 - Crash

"Veronica Maeus was nearly the first person to put a Dodge truck cab in orbit this morning. Unfortunately, engine trouble forced her to abort the attempt and crash land her vehicle in the Arizona desert. She's announced she fully intends to try again once she's hammered the bugs out of the injection system."

I have a sequel on the drawing board.  Stay tuned.

Finders Keepers 9

"An Airstream is the perfect vacation home.  It's spacious, stylish, mobile, and best of all, shiny.   This one's even better.  It was free.  Well, when I say free, I mean stolen.  She found it, she kept it.  And she kept the cowboy hat she found inside, too.  Cowboy hats are cool."

This is the first piece in the FK series featuring a travel trailer.  It's also the first piece in the series done in oil. Curiously, it's the second piece in the FK series to feature a cowboy hat.

6x12 inches, painted on masonite panel.  Sold.

Vacation

Sometimes you just need to get away by yourself.

Aerial Weirdos #2

"Okay, so how do I land this thing?"

It cuts through the air like a 2x4 through butter, luggage space is minimal, and it burns fuel faster than a tanker fire.  But imagine the look on peoples' faces when you buzz them in a truck cab!  Plus, it's recycled, which is good for the environment.

Aerial Weirdos #1

I can only try to blame this on too much Monty Python and Top Gear.  How else do you explain a 1940 Ford C.O.E. cab attached to a hot air balloon?  Radical recycling?

6x6 inches, oil on panel.  Sold.

More Aerial Weirdos on the way.

Bad Belvedere

Alternate title - Batman's Daily Driver.  Because he's not going to use his work car to go get milk and bread at the Qwik-Mart.  Tax implications and stuff.

Another piece from the lomo project.
