"Sky Wheelie" Scratchboard



Here is my latest scratchboard. I still have a huge addiction to F.E.D's. I can't get enough of drawing/ scratching them. I hope to make a painting of one real soon. Anyways, this is my rendition of a sky wheelie in one. I can't imagine the feeling of the driver as you only see sky and keep your foot in it! Maybe someday... The original is 8"x10". Available for sale. I also have prints available in 11"x14" or 13"x19". As of now, all prints I will sell will be giclee, on fine art paper. They will last a lifetime. Hope you dig it, Nate Grice.

Joe Petrali "land speed record" painting




Here is Joe Petrali onboard his record setting "knucklehead" Harley Davidson. The year was 1937. On March 13, this EL Factory Streamliner established a land speed record, racing up to 136.183 miles per hour on the hard-packed sands at Daytona Beach, Florida. The speed run was conducted to promote Harley-Davidson's new "Knucklehead" engine. Harley racing team rider Joe Petrali was aboard the bike for the record run. Petrali left Harley in 1938 to join the team that helped Howard Hughes build the Spruce Goose airplane.




The original acrylic painting is 16"x20". Prints will be available. Contact me if interested.




Hope to do some more in this series soon. Nate Grice

Atlas Oil Scratchboard



Here is my most recent scratchboard. The original is 8"x10". I have wanted to do something with the Atlas Oil Tools dragster for awhile now. So after I finished a few commission christmas presents I knocked this one out. I wanted to make one to look in "motion" so to speak. It turned out pretty cool. I will have prints available for Autorama in Detroit next month. Hope to have many new pieces done this year! Nate Grice

Commission Pencil "Cuda"












Here is a recently completed commission pencil drawing I did for a friend. It is a beautiful 70' Hemi Cuda. It was recently showcased at the Mopar Nationals in Ohio last month for http://www.bighemicustoms.com/ It is black on black. This was challenging to keep the reflections look real and make it to look like a black car. It turned out great! I actually didn't want to give up the piece, but its now in the hands of the owner. I had a great time with this one. I am open for more commission work if interested. Email at nategrice@gmail.com for more info. Nate Grice
