T-Shirt Art

Here is my collaboration piece with Single Finger Speed Shop. We used my original scratchboard design and put it on a tshirt with our logos. It turned out great! I have had wonderful response to it at recent shows. I have some available for sale. They are $15 a piece plus shipping. The colors are brown, ivory, and orange.

Recent pinstriped projects

Here are some of my recent pinstriped pieces. The tub was for a best friend of mines little boy. He is a definite gearhead! He enjoyed it a lot!! I made it for him to store all his hotwheels in, or use it as a drum, Ha. The other is a commissioned bottle and a commissioned hotwheel car to stripe. 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

"Nanook" Scratchboard

Here is my latest scratchboard. It is 8"x10". I have always like this image and wanted to draw it. I decided to try it on scratchboard instead. I just got prints made hot off the press for my next show this weekend. I will be at Sins of Steel in Michigan. If your in the area stop by, it will be a great time. You can also order prints by emailing me at nategrice@gmail.com . They are $15 for a 11"x14" print. Hope you enjoy! Nate Grice

70 Challenger Painting

Here is my latest painting. One of my best friends was recently married. His wife asked me to make him something special with his car involved. I wanted to do a pencil drawing but was limited on time. I really like how this turned out. I painted it gallery style also, with the image rolling around the corners. It is acrylic 16"x20". He recieved it at the rehearsal dinner from her. He was totally shocked and loved it, as did she! I am honored to make them a cherished piece of art that is personal! Let me know if there is something I can make for you!

Thanks Chad and Sally!!

Board track Painting

Here is my latest painting of a board track racer. It is acrylic 18"x24". I decided to use the same color scheme as the roadster painting. It turned out great! I had some prints made of this and sold out what I brought to the show last week at Vintage Torque Fest. I will be having more prints made soon. Email me if interested. It is painted around the edges also for the gallery look. I also painted a cross for torque fest for charity. It is done mostly in one-shot. I painted a coupe, a stromberg, and a copy of "Brown Dog Welding" motorcycle creation made of nuts and bolts. Also pinstriped a hubcap which was laying around the garage that I sold. Hope you enjoy!! Working on new art soon!! Summer's Busy!!!

New Paintings!!!

I have never been into painting much, but bought some canvas and gave it a shot. I really enjoyed doing these two pieces. Painting definitely relaxes me and is gratifying when completed. I will be doing more paintings in the future and hope to do commission work for these as well as pencil and scratchboard art. If you have any questions feel free to send me an email.

The first painting I did was the F.E.D. shot of the driver. It is 18"x24" gallery style canvas.

The second one of the roadster is 16"x20". I call it "Heading Home".

Hope you enjoy. Nate Grice

Ready to Run

I tried something different on my scratchboard on this one. I was trying to see how fine of lines I could make for highlights. It turned out great!! The original is 8"x10". It is for sale. Prints will be made also. Contact me if interested. Thanks for looking, Nate Grice.

New Skratchboard!!

Well I finally had a few minutes to make some new art this year. It is my first finished piece of the year. I have lots of great ideas brewing in my head for this years new pieces! I have been busy working on remodeling my bathroom and other projects. Hope to make more cool pieces soon. This one is a scratchboard done 5"x7". I can't get enough of "FED's" front engine dragsters. Hope you find it inspirational to try and make some art of your own. It is a blast!! Thanks for looking, Nate Grice

Fireman Rememberence Pencil Drawing

This is a commissioned pencil drawing I did in December of 2010 for a christmas present. A guy I used to work with "Barney" wanted me to draw his late fathers fireman gear for his mother for a present. I was honored! It turned out great and everyone loved it from what I hear. It was drawn on bristol paper 11"x14". I didn't get a chance to have it scanned so the picture is just from my camera but shows pretty well. I have fun with these because the diamond plate is challenging. This piece means a lot to Mrs. Kaufmann and others. I hope you enjoy it as much as they are. Thanks, Nate Grice
