PCH or Hwy 1 test run

Mooneyes show in Irwindale is tomorrow and I will be driving my truck to the show. Yesterday, after some tune up type stuff, I went on a little test run down and up the PCH. Boy, was it beautiful out! The ride was rough at first because the front end was shimmying... so I pulled over and made some adjustments and it shimmied less. Just okay enough to go 70 mph down the hwy. I passed by Don the BeachComber and took this picture for my friend Woody. Woody is a Super Duper Tiki Guy and I thought he would appreciate the picture and he did. It's been quite some time since my truck was on the road, I was busy with work and too lazy to work on it... Funny thing, it really didn't take much to get it back on the road, just change the tranny and a ghetto tune-up!?!
I should have been driving the truck a year ago, ah well. Hope the few who visits here like the picture. I'm happy with it.

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.

calamari

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?)

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.
