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

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.

***The truck original is sold***
