A/FD scratchboard

Here is another scratchboard I recently finished up.  I will have prints available at torque fest http://vintagetorquefest.com/  It is a great car show that has many great activities going on for the whole family and a great art show to boot!!  John Wells hosts this amazing get together of hot rods/motorcycles from all around and everyone leaves with a smile on their face.  I can't wait for this weekend.  It is always a good time to meet old friends and make new ones.  I set up my art booth and sell prints and limited original artwork as well.  Artists get to help out with his daughters charity by making a design/artwork on a picked item each year.  This year is the surfboard. We were given a blank metal board and left to do what we wanted.  I tried to mimic a scratchboard design with two colors instead of one.  I like the simplicity of it.  Hope you enjoy.  If you've never been to this show, try it out, you won't be disappointed!!  Nate Grice

36 Ford Scratchboard

Kevin Anderson owns this amazing 36 Ford.  It is one of my favorite models of cars, meaning a lot considering I'm a Mopar man.  It is so smooth looking, I have been wanting to do something with it for awhile now.  They have such great body lines and look good as tail draggers or not.  Just one more thing to add to my bucket list.  It is done 9"x12".  If he doesn't see it here first, he may be suprised to see it at a show coming up that I'll be vending my art at.  I always like to surprise people with custom art of their own vehicle.  Hope you enjoy it.  Nate Grice

I'll be vending at Torque Fest this year coming up in May from the 3rd - 5th.  Come to Iowa and check it out.  Its a great show!!!

Erie fireman commission pencil drawing

Here is my latest pencil drawing.  I was contacted to do a commission of a firefighter and his dog in front of a burning house.  It was left to me to do the rest.  She wanted me to incorporate an American flag if possible, so I made his helmet one.  It came out great.  I have never tried drawing fire before with pencil and to make it all work together, took time.  I have about 30 hours in this drawing.  There are many small details that can be seen after studying it.  I had fun doing this one.  This is one of my "firefighter" drawings I have been commissioned to do.  Check out my previous ones on older blog posts.  Nate Grice
Thanks Ericka!!
