Vulgalour Arts - Yugo, Daihatsu, Volvo, Suzuki... STUFF

[fordperv]

^ very cool on the printing,

 

How about a mk2 jag with a driver in a balaclava outside a bank with its boot open waiting for the blaggers to come out with the loot

[vulgalour]

Suggestion Friday is open again.  I'm working on the chosen piece at the moment, I've been blighted with art-block all week but it has finally cleared with the SF deadline looming large.  Bit light on suggestions this week,  but all good ones nonetheless.  I keep a record of all the suggestions made week-on-week just in case there's a week when nothing is suggested and I need a fall back plan.

[nacho man]

Do a nice e12 5 series in green with the chrome hubcaps they came with.

[eddyramrod]

Alvis Stalwart?

[vulgalour]

Ooh, interesting suggestions already, good stuff guys.

 

It may come as no surprise at all that I went with the Austin Atlantic suggested by AngryDicky.  Just ink this time around because I've not had much time to devote to it.  That said, I really enjoyed this one, they're very pleasant lines to work on.

 

Austin A90 Atlantic - £20 inc. P&P

Option:  apply colour for an additional £20

 

[eddyramrod]

Well and truly captured!

[rml2345]

That looks excellent! Can I suggest a 3 door Lada Samara? Preferably with giffer.

[vulgalour]

You can, and you may.  I shall add it to the list.

[Tayne]

How about some shite super cars?

 

Here's the Dino 308 Gt4 (not badged as a Ferrari for the first few years of it's life), it's just about the only road-going F-car not styled by PininFarina.

It was designed by Marcello Gandini over at Bertoni (he of Citroen BX fame).

From some angles it looks like a TR7...

 

 

ideally in any colour apart from Cliche Red.

 

 

Or if you fancy something a little less Italian, how about the Porsche 914?

 

 

Also badged as a VW in some markets....

[eddyramrod]

Duesenberg SJ torpedo phaeton...

[dugong]

Volvo P1900 racing an MG TF, if you would. 

[vulgalour]

A very busy week for me both in and out of work leaving me little time to think.  The suggestions this week has been the toughest batch yet to choose from, good work on that one.

 

Happily, progress on commissioned work has been fairly good and I'm now open once again to taking new commissions on as a result.  Here's what this week has been all about so far.

 

Suzuki Alto - Commissioned ink 

Give me mundane little hatchbacks over bedroom poster cars any day of the week, this was a delight to draw up.

 

Renault Alpine - Commission ink 

More into the bedroom poster territory with this one but don't let that fool you into thinking I didn't enjoy working on it.  A good solid idea from the customer, clear reference images and a car that has surprisingly pleasant lines to work on made for a very enjoyable piece.

 

Hillman Minx - Commissioned ink & watercolour

It's shiter Mr_Livered in his shabby chic Hillman.  I was surprised just how blue the shade of grey is on the Hillman when it came to colouring this, not at all the flat primer shade I had expected.

[vulgalour]

Suggestion Friday is cancelled this week, as it was last week, due to workload.  But here's the one that was due last from last time and it was a very, very difficult decision to make given the high quality of suggestions offered.

 

 

Alvis Stalwart - SOLD

 

 

Tried a slightly different inking style, something a bit looser and more comic book.  WOOP WOOP WOOP, that's the sound the Stalwart police riot amphithingy makes.

[Guest Cerbsp6]

Angyl,

 

We've crossed paths previously on Retrorides, talking Princesses (unsurprisingly) - would just like to say that I really rate your drawings, as others have said they seem to be improving each time, particularly liked the bubble car and lady, Saab and Mini Clubman.

 

My particular preference is not very Autoshite, but likewise would be a nice thing to draw, how about adding a TVR Cerbera to your list?

 

Cheers,

 

Andy M (Cerbsp6)

[vulgalour]

Autoshite don't do supercars, but if they did, they'd probably all be TVRs.

[vulgalour]

Balloon Bunnies - SOLD

 

 

 

So it's not car stuff and it doesn't make any sense, but I'm posting this here because reasons.  Also someone might want to buy it and that would be neat.  Also, also, I like it and that's all the reason I need to do anything.

[KruJoe]

It makes sense to me. Very, very good.

Less is, most definitely, more.

[Skizzer]

Blimey, it's a long lost Jefferson Airplane album cover.  

 

Great ink work, especially on the rabbits and the tree (no really, I mean it).

[rml2345]

I like the balloon bunnies, it's got a whimsical surrealist vibe about it.

The Southdown Leopard above is a Plaxton Panorama Elite with a Supreme IV front on it. Bodging later fronts onto earlier bodies is something of a coach operating tradition although that one looks like it's been repanelled too, hence the rubber mouldings.

I'll grab my anorak on the way out.

[vulgalour]

I love the coach mentality of just putting a new face on an ancient machine, they still do it now and most people aren't even aware of it.

[PhilA]

I wonder if they upgraded it's behind also.. I only ever remember those with the "mk1 Transit" style tail lights... investigation shows Ford Falcom/Galaxie style dished lights on the back of some.

 

I know which I prefer

[vulgalour]

Ford Escort XR3i - £40 inc. P&P

 

Just an original in watercolour and ink of a car I needn't say anything about because it's a Ford hot hatch.

 

[fordperv]

That looks great

[Station]

The art is really coming along, it looks about 5001 times better than six months ago!

[vulgalour]

Practice makes... well, not perfect, but better at least.

[Micrashed]

Anytime you feel like doing it I wouldnt mind a "montage" picture of this manky Mk1 Fiesta in a sort of metallic red (reg RRN 332T)

and this miniMetro 1.3L

Mine and the Missuses cars when we met, courted and married.

 

I'll let you contact me by PM and sort out the finer details. No rush.

[vulgalour]

Tiny eighties hatchback montAAAAAAAAge~

 

 

PM incoming shortly.

[phil_lihp]

That Escort looks superb, they're getting better all the time

[Station]

Is that Escort being haunted by the ghost of a Princess? Or maybe an artistic picture where the Escort is being oppressed by the memories of an Austin Princess that he accidentally killed in a tragic accident, and the image is illustrating that (like they do in those rubbish women's tragedy magazines)?

[vulgalour]

I'm about to move house... hopefully.  With this in mind I'm making a start on a commission drive and will welcome any and all new work at the usual prices: £10 sketch, £20 ink, £40 ink & colour, £50 watercolour only all at A4 size.

 

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

 

I'm going to put some pictures together from the sketch book that will be at special reduced rates because I've already started them so if something takes your fancy it's a great way to scab some art for cheap off me.

 

To kick things off, here's that Riley I started ages ago, now parked on a suburban driveway in front of one of those garages that seemed to be on every well-to-do drive when I was growing up.  Prices include P&P to wherever you are.

 

£7 As is

£15 Inked

£25 Ink and Colour

£35 Watercolour only

Minor alterations and tidying is possible at no extra cost.  Payment by Paypal for preference but I do accept other methods too.
