Mid August Fun...

...is around my birthday. I started treating myself to some hot rodding, a little after high school, buying myself a gift, then the Chevelle I had and now the pick up. From small car shows to swap meet it grew into something I look forward to every year, Bonneville. This past August, I drove, by myself, to Bonneville. I was also hoping to make it to South Dakota, but my little service truck was having issues. I barely made it back home...
It was hot driving through Vegas and Baker!
The best part of Bonneville speed week (Friends and the races were awesome too) was camping in the hills near the entrance to the salt flats. It was nice to relax, take my time, and even watch the stars. A really nice change.
I met some really nice and interesting people too. There were a lot of people on the road trying to find themselves. One guy drove from the east coast to the west then to Speed week and he's going to settle in Portland, Or.
Between then and now. I've been hitting up some shows (all solo). Took some pictures and will post them up when I can.

Test/ sketch book page

Testing out a new large format scanner that I just bought today so I can get into the groove again. Anyway, here's a random sketch book page...don't know when I drew it.

The studies were drawn from photos off the Internet or some magazine. Heck might be from memory too. Not sure. I have really bad memory.

The human body is difficult to draw. Try drawing one with a soul, sheesh, I should just quit. Then there's the  female body, even harder! I respect all those who try to draw because it ain't easy.
Then there's painting and design...ugh the horror!

Vulture

I guess you can call this a study.  Nothing special. I was trying to figure stuff out. Can you tell who's awesome style I'm referencing?
 (Do I even have a style?)

little bikes: lots of fun

Riding is happiness. Go out and try it.

Daily ride

& silly racer. So much fun going slow. Been road racing this thing (practicing how to ride). Hopefully, someday, I will make this thing go 0 to 40 mph fast. The next race is at Adams in Riverside on the 16th.
