Old Skool RatzO - Circa 1981

Hi ! This finky l'il guy is the frist RatzO I ever did way back in 1981. I found him today as I was going through another stack O' stuff. I'll ink him in and do a side-by-side with th' current RatzO and the NEW modifide RatzO I'm working on. I'm trying to refine him & make him simpler as the current version is too detailed to render quickly. More finky stuff to come...

Boop Fink - a - Doop !

B. Kirkham of Manti, Utah axked me to Fink out her 1954 Chevy 4 door @ last years R.F. Reunion. She is a Betty Boop fan, so naturally there HAD to be a Boop Fink driving.

I went for "sassy" & not "scary" cuz, well... Its Betty Boop for kryin' out loud !! Above is the
sketch. I'll send off some contact sheets for approval on Monday. Too bad she wants this in B&W, it would look sooo kewl in kolor !


I suppose this could actually be more of a "Betty Boob" than a "Boop," but I don't want to hear any noise from the copyright holder so I changed her up a bit. I think shez kinda hawt - for a cartoon that is...

I didn't go too wild with the power plant either. One, the angle the car is in; it's more nose up than some of the others I've drawn in the past, thus presenting less of an area to render a monster engine. I wanted to kinda tone down the Finkness in this drawing for the customers sake and for respect for the character driving this crate ! I like th' Boop too...


Just a prelem idea for th' headers. I am already thinking about changing them up a bit. There will also be a huge, smokin' drag slick in the rear, and plenty of flames in the finished product.
This one will be fun... I hope I get the green light to finish it soon. - RatzO

Two years in th' making - Featuring A cast of ThOuSanDs !

Chuck, of th' R.F. Reunion fame axked me to do a `57 Raunch Vagen for him in 2008. I have been real tied up with care for Mom and little time for art work. Well, I found a rare "To-it" at Orvills [Now closed] here in Jerkson. Not the usual square kind, but a rare round one. After I purchased it, I then had a chance to get this completed for him. PhonBooty! - RatzO

Latest Stuff

Basic sketch of the Rubio Vee Dub - Awaiting approval...
If I don't get approval on the various jobz I've taken in, it is certain I will finish them
and use them for my own purposes. The art will go to th' car owner, or th' masses, a "win/ win" situation no matter how you look @ it.

The Rubio Vee Dub @ th' 2009 Midnoght @ th' Oasis, Yuma, Arizona.
First Kar Art form last season. I'll be posting more soon.

Latest of the Character Finkz... This is "Helmut Fink" & he would look
GREAT in color, with your favorite Surpf Shop logo on hiz haid bone armor !
More of this junk to come - Keep on Finkin' !
RatzO, Out !
