In Memory "Big Jim"

This is a pencil sketch of James Schaefer's 70' Duster. He was a big member of the River Valley Mopar Club. He passed away Monday August 17th, 2009. He was in process of converting it to a 5 speed automatic to be featured at Monster Mopar Show in St. Louis coming up. I haven't heard if some of the club members are going to take it now, I hope they do. Well I drew this picture as a memorial for him and will give it to the club president so he can pass it on. I am glad I had the chance to meet him and talk to him about his Duster and get ideas for mine. Now we will all have to wait to see him again. It really puts into your mind that you never know the last time you will see someone.

"Lonely"

This is a pencil rendering of a 57' Chevy in the weeds. I borrowed this picture from an artist on the Hamb Art show. With permission I couldn't wait to draw it, although it took me a lot longer to find time to work on it, here it is. This piece was challenging for me. I am thinking about doing a tri-five series now. If only there was more time in the day. This was drawn 8"x10". Prints are available for this picture as well others. This one is $50 for a 11"x14" print on high quality acid free paper using a giclee process.

Pencil Rendering

This is another pencil rendering I did of a 53' Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. I took the picture at World of Wheels in Indy this spring. The car is owned by Bob and Diana Cossin in MO. The car's nickname is "Lil Darlin". I wanted to do an extreme close-up but still be able to tell what it is. I love drawing chrome reflections and this one had a lot. Thanks for checking it out!

Pencil Rendering

This is a pencil rendering I did of a bobber. I really enjoyed doing this drawing.

Pencil Rendering

This is a pencil rendering that I did for our local Fire Department Harley Davidson Raffle. They really enjoyed it. The Fire Chief was really shocked, I didn't tell him I was doing this for them and I gave them a nice framed print to have for the Firehouse. It was the most time consuming piece I have done so far, but was well worth it. I plan on making more soon. Hope you all enjoy as much as I do! Prints are limited to 150.

Paying Respect

I have to thank all the artists on the Hamb "Jalopy Journal" and Hub Garage for inspiring me to continue with my art and work on getting better with each piece. I forgot how much fun I have when drawing and creating something unique. One artist in particular that I would like to thank is Ed Tillrock, he does some amazing things with a pencil. I hope to meet him soon. Well just saying thanks again to all the great artists out there and who knows maybe I'll inspire someone else to get drawing! www.hubgarage.com/mygarage/moparz
