Brand: Motorbooks International
Product Description
Chopped slammed channeled blown . . . in the late 50s and early 60s all of these features lent themselves nicely to the rise of hot rod art that caricaturized the already severe design traits associated with these cars. Usually the rods and customs in this art were piloted by slobbering snaggletoothed monsters with bulging bloodshot eyes. Thanks to the ironon Tshirt boom of the 70s and a raft of younger artists working today hot rod monsters have persevered. Now awardwinning cardesigner Thom Taylor and legendary kustom culture figure Ed Newton reveal the tricks and techniques used by masters past and present to render these whack rods and their wartsandall drivers. Beginning with a brief history of the form the authors examine figures like Stanley Mouse Ed Roth and Newton himself then reveal how those pioneers influenced modern artists like Keith Weesner John Bell and Dave Deal to name a few. In addition to offering chapters covering topics like equipment perspective light sources and other technical considerations Taylor expands on the cartooning proportion and color chapters from his previous works applying them to the subject at hand. Also includes dozens of examples of the form from many of the abovementioned artists and more. show more
