Holy flamin' Sail Phish Batmun !

Sail Fish Desk Sculpture from Nautical Supply Shop - $68.95 The Kustom paint puts this well over th' 2 Bill mark. I want to do a couple more of these - dis is kEwL ! Pictured - right side of fish. This was accomplished as one of three original pieces of art for the 9th Annual Rat Fink Reunoin in Manti, Utah. This was one of the Fun Run Trophies.

Left side of fish. This would make a rockin' desk decoration !


Fish tail with "RatzO" signature.

The winner of th' Fish "Trophy" (on right) came in first for the 5K "Phun" Run - Ol' Menz Division.

He really wanted th' Fish ! RatzO th' Hot Rod Artist @ left.

Fink on my man !

`27 Rat Rod in Color - WoW !

This is th' Wright 1927 Rat Rod done up in "Living" color. There were some fliers for the Ghouls on the car when I photographed it. Turns out the car is not in th' club. No matter, they both get free publicity right here on Screw Brain Graphics art site.

In case you are wondering, that "thing" flapping behind th' rod is a "Moon Bat." Sorry, hez Copyrighted !

Fink on Bruthaz & sistaz ! An all th' people said, "Amen!"

Tune in next week...

Friskit applied. I'll air brush the shadow first, then the body color ...

Body is painted. Once dry, I'll reapply th' mask over the purple, unmask th' areas to be painted silver and spray them...

Air Brush Completed !

Th' Buzzard ball & Fish Hookz

A long time ago, in a country where things still mattered, there was a military branch who's job it was to kill the enemy and break their stuff. The time was th' 1940's and th' unit was th' U.S.M.C.

Back when I was in that gun club, (1980's) I was talkin' to an ol' timer. He informed

me that, back in th' day, the Corps emblem, the Eagle, Globe & Anchor was refered to as, Th' Buzzard, Ball & Fish Hooks. I've been wanting to put my own twist (never satisfied to leave well enough alone...) on that time honored image. The S.B.G. design will no doubt have more detail than the original - But it also will be sooo KeWl ! More on this later.

Hinton 1959 Mack B 61 Delux

Floyd Hinton of th' Nostalgia Car Klub in Yuma has a beachin' `59 Mack truck. This is the sketch, art work will be air brushed in color. Detail to be done in Prismacolor marker and tech pen.
Mr. Hinton also has a sweet custom trike... I may just do a graphic of that & send it to him as a su-prize. Fink on bruthaz & sistaz !

InTRodUciNg, Th' OffiCial "IN - FINK" GraPhik

Ever wonder what "art-zee" people do when th' weather is TOO krappy to be outside??

To say I HaTE CoOlD weather & sNo is a major understatement. This winter I am actually getting to work some of my projektz off. This is the "Official" finished graphik for "In - Fink." (See earlier post) This is being submitted to the Roth Estate for approval - to see if I cut th' mustard to be a real R.F. artiest. Keep you posted on th' out come on that. Umba Gumba !

Hay ! Th' end of September marked the end of road for another JH local busness. Marc Loebe of the Board Room shut down as th' origional owner, but put on a bash of sorts for all hiz loyal kustomerz. Above art work was a G.O.O.B. gift from me to Marc. I hung out & "directed" all (or MOST of all) of the attendees to come sign the border of the finished piece. Once totally signed, it got popped in a frame and presented to Th' Board Dude ! He wuz speachless... He liked it ! It was all worth it. Keep on finkin' Bro !

Detail shot of Long Board Fink...

15 years of service to th' comunity - Hate to see ya go !

Sun down for th' Board Room...

Wave By-By !

Twin Cities Wing Nutz fly again !

Mr. Waller from MN requested a logo for his RC airplane club based on the "Wing Nut" design I did awhile back. Here is a slightly off color image of the line art for the new logo.

Winnerz !

The Teton County Fair went well this year. 2 Blue Ribbons !

The one on the Left side was won by the, "Mr. Lonely" toilet seat.

Comment on the back of the entry card reads, "Nicely done.

You are a GREAT designer with excellent drawing skills.

Keep it up !" Signed- FAK

The ribbon on th' Right was won by the Base Ball Head sculpture.

The comment on the back of the entry card reads, "Very unusual !"

That is what is said when the viewer doesn't really care for the artists

work, but does not want to offend them. Sort of like saying, "That's nice."

Yeah, very unusual indeed - and there is more of it from where that one came from!

Thanxz to all the judges @ the T.C. Fair this year, I'm mighty pleased !
