Drawn Shite

[Craig the Princess]

Do we have any artists on here?

 

I'm pretty shit (so don't take the piss too much) but here is my attempt.

 

 

Can you guess what it is yet?

[outlaw118]

Well, it's 163.57% better than i can do.

It's an Allegro 3, and I claim my £5.

I do the arts for a living, but nobody ever wants pictures of shite, they always want those pesky arse-pirational motors instead. Here's what I have online. I've not had a car commission for a while.

 

"Escape from the Steel City" - this was done for a local art show and features a Riley RME and a police blimp. People didn't 'get it' so one of my friends that did now has it hung up in her dining room.

 

"Mel's Folly" - There's a chap called Hairymel over on the blue forum who is taking this Chrysler Sunbeam and restoring it for road use. Epic.

 

These next few are perhaps not my best work, I didn't really get on with the pen I was using for inking so the lines aren't as they ought to be... also while the watermark says 2010 you can see they're considerably older than that from the signature (2006 for the most part) and I've come a fair way (see Mel's Folly above) since then.

 

Shove-it

 

turns out I have a non-watermarked one of this too.

 

Tatra 603

 

Morose Ital - My Dad's second car.

 

Nash Ambassador LeMans

 

Bond

 

Just as a bit of a plug, I'm doing a limited run of commissions like the above at £20 a pop if you fancy anything It'll help me look after my own shite if you get one.

[Wilko220]

Excellent stuff!

[Spiny Norman]

They're really good VA, I really like the Tatra one.

[Shep Shepherd]

I like the Ital

[vulgalour]

I need to draw more stuff like this, but I've not had time of late. I should have a crack at an Allegro, like Craig has. I like the Allegro sketch, I'm too fussy about quality (I suppose I have to be really) to draw anything that fun.

 

Oh, and thanks guys I aim to not disappoint.

Has to be a Wedge next, surely!

[Craig the Princess]

More BL the better .

 

Love the Ital and Shove-it volksangyl, top work.

Found this recently, from about 15 years ago.

These are very good...very good indeed.

 

Here is my entry for the Draw Inspector "Blakey" Blake competition;

 

 

 

....I didn't win.

Is that George Michael in a leather Hells Angel cap?

[carlo]

I drew these two in pencil when I was 17 (31 years ago), unfortunately this rather poor picture is the only evidence left of it!

 

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

No but I see where you are coming from...

 

This is a counted cross stitch of my old Dolly 1300;

 

 

Many hours went into that...I was unemployed at the time....back then I also had patience....these days it would be chucked up the wall within 20 minutes.

[trigger]

That is brilliant!

[RoadworkUK]

That cross-stitch is magnificent!

 

As an early project at Uni, we were given the task of creating a modern day successor to a long-obsolete car of our choice, from a shortlist chosen to be as difficult as possible. Other choices were the Scammell Scarab, Messerschmit Kabinenroller, Austin Atlantic. I chose the Standard Vanguard. I started the project by nipping to the Cov Transport Museum (excellent) to measure and sketch their phase 2 Vanguard in minute detail.

 

 

 

I won't show you my "modern day interpretation" of it, because it was shit, looking back at it.

 

I was more keen on this; drawn in 2002-ish, when Rover going tits-up was merely extremely likely, not yet a foregone conclusion.

 

 

I naively named it the Rover P7, intended to slot in above the 75/ZT. Being that it was drawn in '02 as a car producable from '04, that means it fits into the shite category any time now.

Most of the cars that we love were pretty shit, looking back at them. C'mon, the worst we can say is "Meh".

I mean my interpretation of it was shit, of course. The original is teh nadz!

Yes, I got that! You can't tease us with an idea and then refuse to show it though! Seriously, however bad your 'concept' was, can it be worse than Triumph rolling up at the '75 Geneva show with the TR7? **ducks**

[vulgalour]

 

Work in progress. Austin Maestro Clubman D. A proper little misery machine.

[pandamonium]

Camera didn't want to work properly, sorry.

 

Edit - that's better (should have cleaned the lens first!)

[vulgalour]

Bump this one to the top with the latest completed piece. Scanner has made it look crappier than it is, but not in a good way.
