Negative G's

This is my latest pencil sketch. I call it Negative G's because that's what's happening. When the driver pops the chute, the negative g-force pulls your chin to your chest instantly. The drivers I have had a chance to talk to, say its hard to describe the impact on your body. Its like nothing else. To be able to drive one of these is on my bucket list! I love nostalgic drag racing and "rail" cars. You may be seeing a lot more like this to come. The original is drawn 11"x14" on 100lb. Bristol Paper and is framed for $250. I also have prints made of this one for $20 each that are also 11"x14". Everyone that saw this at the Hunnert Car PileUP this past weekend thought it was killer. Hopefully you do also, send me an email if your interested in prints of anything I have done www.nategrice@gmail.com . Thanks for looking!

I included a progress shot of this picture as well. Nate Grice

55' Gasser Skratchboard

This is a 8"x10" skratchboard of two 55' Gassers. I did this one for John Cooper of Indy Road Rockets car club. They put on a great car show called the Road Rocket Rumble and I was an art vendor there. I do have prints left of this if anyone is interested though. The Culbertson shop is the clubs hangout and that is why I put it in the background. The closer is sponsored by Culbertson and locally owned, the farther one is owned by John's wife. I really enjoyed doing this piece knowing that it meant something to them. Thanks for looking, Nate Grice

"Full Throttle" PENCIL Rendering

I wanted to try something different and see if I could make a pencil drawing look like its moving. It was both challenging and fun! I hope to do more like this and make a drag racing series. The original was drawn on strathmore 100 lb. acid free paper 11"x14". It is for sale, framed and kustom matted for $400. Prints are available for $20. Let me know if this is something you like. Thanks for looking. Nate Grice

Newest Skratchboards

These are my most recently hand made skratchboards. One of them is my favorite so far and that is the salt flat scene. I have wanted to do something with hotrods mixed with classic bikes for a while now. It was done on 11"x14" board. It was a lot of skratchin, I think it would've been easier to start with paper and do it in pen, but what fun would that be. It is for sale, original is $175, prints are $20. The other two are 5"x7"s and both originals are $75. Email me if interested.

Ms. Metal's Kustom 53'

This is a PENCIL drawing of Ms.Metal's Kustom 53' Chevy. She can do some amazing things with metal. She also makes kustom car and hotrod accessories, and jewelry using automotive items. She fabricated all the kustom parts on her 53 and made it her own. The car is awesome non the less to see in person.

The drawing is 11"x16" in pencil. I will have a limited run of prints made that will be signed by myself and Ms.Metal with kustom matting. The prints will be $50 without shipping. If interested email me at nategrice@gmail.com Payment is available thru paypal or check. This picture was the most time consuming of any I have done so far and I think it was totally worth it! I hope you all enjoy and if you have some free time check out her site. www.ms-metal.net

Skratch Board

I thought I would try something out of the box and I picked up some skratchboard. These are on 5"x7" board. I think it is a lot more challenging to work with these since you have no room for error. I am used to having my eraser right there to correct any mistakes. I hope practicing on these once in a while will make me a better artist. These are for sale also. They are $50each. I will be trying larger ones in the future. Thanks for looking, Nate

Craftsmanship

This is the interior of a 1931 Ford built by Voodoo Larry of http://www.voodoolarrykustoms.com. He is an awesome car builder. I finally got my chance to see the car in person at Hunnert this past year. I am going to his shop tomorrow to show him the finished piece and have him sign some prints. I can't wait. There will be a limited edition for the prints that come with custom matting for the signature. The picture was drawn 11"x14". It was done in pencil. Thanks for looking. Nate

Teaching Wisdom

This is a pencil sketch of legendary car builder Gene Winfield. I wish I had taken this shot, but I borrowed it with permission from a hotrodder off of the H.A.M.B. When he posted this shot, I had to draw it. The original is drawn 8"x10". Prints are also available for this drawing. Thanks for looking.
