Jeff Rassier drawing

My friend Jeff drew this and gave it to me for my birthday a few weeks ago.
I'm stoked, it's amazing. It's on board inked up all nice. Thanks Jeff!
Oriana said it looked like me, I can dig.

Car updates.
Sanding...sanding...sanding...
Rolph shoots her!
I go in tomorrow for a nice long day of Bondo and more sanding.
I'll run the full deal on my resto project soon.

Some great art books I got recently.
Actually, I got Disposable a wile back but wanted to post it cause it's great.
(Thanks for the House book Andy!)

Box art/monster games

Another obsession of mine is vintage box art, specifically monster art.
I've found some pretty cool monster games over the years at garage sales and flea markets.
Aside from the Roth and Weirdo modle kit boxes I would have to say my favorite art is the THINGMAKER series.
You can still find them on e bay but they have become quite pricey.
The Green Ghost Game has one of the best box covers.
It has also recently been rereleased.
Here are a few pics from my collection.

Dog paintings

This is Pasha the dog.
My grandparents had him painted in 1976.
When my grandfather passed away my grandmother knew I was obsessed with it and gave it to me.
It has been the center piece in my various living rooms over the last 10 years or so.
I have a few other dog paintings but this is best, it's a flawless masterpiece.
It's hard to find a good dog painting, most of them suck.
I also have the counterpart piece to this painting "Princess the dog" painted by the same painter H.V.Pundleider.
My Aunt had Princess painted in 1980 and gave it to me so I could have "THE DOG PAINTING SET"
My friend Jeff has two amazing paintings of his dog.
We are having our Dog Cider painted, Will post when he's done.

More Weird-ohs!

More Weird-ohs stuff.
I found this cool Digger mask at the flea market.

Weird-ohs artist BILL CAMPBELL!

Bill Campbell is another one of my favorite artists, if not my most.
Bill is the artist behind the Hawk model companies 1960's Weird-Ohs series.
He also did the box art for many WW2 planes, trains and cars witch proved him to be an all around great artist.
The Weird-ohs series later spawned the Frantics, the Silly Surfers and an off-shoot line of plastic toys, Halloween masks and board games.
The Hawk company has recently re-released the Weird-ohs, Frantics and Silly Surfers kits with the original box art.
Here is some of Bill's more well know as well as rare artwork.
There is a great online interview with him here my Friend Eyebone sent me. http://www.bonediggers.com/1-2/weird/weird1.html
My Buddy Dave Milner just did an article on the kits for Gearhead #16 and it's a great read!
You can find the reissues all over e bay.

Yup

This is on the "LIST".

The Great GARLOO!

It's big, it's cool and it's rare as fuck!
Did I mention it's big?
One day when I grow up I wish to own this.

Pretty sure the artist is Bill Campbell (Weird-ohs). I have a pile of his rare stuff I will post soon.

Of course!

Monsters

My fascination with monster pretty much started with these guys here.
And I was also scared shitless of Christopher Lee as Dracula. He just looks like he wants to chop a chunk off you! I Had the view master. I would click it and click it and get all scared when it got close to this pic.

Dusky dames by J.H. Lynch

J.H Lynch is one of my favorite artists, I have many but he is high on the list.
The first time I saw his work I was a little kid and my grandfather acquired a few of his prints.
My grandmother wasn't to happy about it and made him keep them in the basement/rec room.
My mom called them the "Floosie paintings". As a kid they reminded me of the James Bond women.
My grandfather passed away a few years back and my grandmother recently moved out of the family house.
My mom called to tell me they found one of the Floosie paintings wile moving and that my grandmother wanted me to have it.
I now have a few of his original prints witch are getting quite rare.
I have seen a number of new giclee prints on e bay.
My personal favorite "Dusky Dame" is "Nymph".
Check the Clockwork Orange pics, rad!

long time no blog

Long time no blog, will have more soon.
Working on the book has soaked up all my spare time.
Last week my friend Zach, with blessings from James Hetfield, hooked me up with this ESP LTD.
The call was made and ESP fired this one over.
I always wanted to paint a guitar with no art direction and go off on it so now i got my chance.
I wasn't going to post it till it was done but thought it would be cool to show the whole deal from start to finish.
My friend Tim "Guitar wizard" Lehi tor it down for me as I am Donny "Guitar Retard" Gillies.
Paint starts next week, updates soon.
Thanks guys!
