But Don, How can I post my best work if I haven't done it yet? LOL
I've got an idea for my everyday helmet, I'll do a test panel to try the idea out and post it before the end of the week.... I hope.
Thanks for the contest, the pressure is on now!

Well, so far this week has been a bad week for time so I'm going to go with a recent T-shirt I made for my wife. One shot of the finished shirt and a closeup of the rose on it.

THAT'S IT? Only 2 of yaz??!! Come on people! Don't be shy! Jump on in....what do you have to lose.....and look at what you have to gain! Don't think that you're not good enough or that you don't have a shot at winning! I just entered a contest against Luc-Boiven for gad's sakes!

One thing I do know....if you never enter, you really don't have a shot at winning!

Well Cliff it looks like it,s just you and me, pity man but I think that this comp will be scraped. Like I said it,s a shame I,m sure that you just like me could use all the tips and info that we can get. Anyway well done on your piece the rose and the lettering are real sharp man, once again well done.

Well, your right about that, its a shame others didn't get involved.... but then again, we had a 50/50 chance of winning.... best odds I've had in a long run. Guess we will just have to wait and see what Don does.

As for the rose, thats the best freehand I've been able to do.... I rely on stencils and vinyl when ever I can.... thats the only way it looks so sharp. Having artistic talent like you do would certainly help.... and some steady hands!! LOL

Time to go back to the painting.... only way to get better.

Thanks for the kind words Cliff but as far as talent I,v got a long way to go yet.

Come on guys and gals..... don't be shy! I know there are more than 3 newbies out there. Lets show everyone how we ARE getting better... Remember as everyone says, Its only paint...

Cliff

OK. I've been away from the brush for quite a while and this practice piece is not quite finished. It is sprayed on the plywood top of my bench. I was just messing around and then thought, why not try to make it look at least OK. Criticism and coments welcome...and needed.

Bill

Well done Ralph and Bill. That's the spirit welcome on board.

Hurry up and get your paintings in folks! This is the last day to enter for this one. I'm looking forward to seeing as many entries as possible entered.

Come on guys and gals! Newbies, pull out the guns and Airbrush anything!! It is all about airbrushing, and fun, and helping others on this site. Some of us old timers wish we had a site like this back when we began.
