One last piece of 2009

One last piece for 2009 (well, still in progress). I had a request to turn a '55 Pontiac into a gasser. Here it is. This seemed fitting as the Pontiac line sadly ended here in 2009. Lets not dwell on the sadness of loosing the Pontiac nameplate, but look forward to some more Pontiac inspired art to join the rank of topics of many fine artists. The Chief will always live on in our heart and art.

See you in 2010. Have a safe New Year and make your resolution to support the arts!

Motor City Motors (city motor city motor ∞)

Tonight Detroit embarks on it's own ghettowood stardom. At 10 pm on the discovery channel the premier episode will be on a Model T turned into a gasser.... doesn't sound that strange but I bet it makes for an ugly ass car! I suppose I'll have to tune in to watch.

I wonder where all the cast off parts went from that '26?

For those who don't have cable tv, I guess suck it!

or you can read about it here

When the Road Devil Episodes come up in January-Feb, I'll give you a second shout out about it.

Sneaky Muthatruckers!

I'm currently having an 'issue' with one printing company that I've recently been dealing with. While searching through their website looking to see who is in the wrong with my transaction, I came across this little tid-bit. Under "SALES TAX" they slip in that all materials that they print become their property and can be distributed to other parties despite what the second line about "will not be given to any other party"... This clearly contradicts 'given to' and 'distribute'

I hate the system of double talk and lawyer speak. Watch your asses... and also know that websites can change this info as fast as they can type it. Make sure to do screen captures of how this are written if you are ever in a problem area.

Tammy Tradewind

My cousins got together to commission a piece of art that is going to be used as a spare tire cover for my Uncles 1962 Airstream Tradewind, which he loving refers to as "Tammy"

They asked me to come up with some nose cone styled WW2 art for it and I jumped right in. Instead of bomb runs I decided to go with trailer runs, so there are tiny AirStreams painted back there. I can't wait to hear his response.

Sins of Speed™ coming 2010

Shirt #1 coming in 2010. Black and Wine color Tees!

Get ready!

Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas/Happy New Year

I'd like to take a minute to wish everyone a great holiday season. I'm wishing for world peace again this year, but I will probably just get a lump of coal again. It's kinda an odd experience going through this season with a little guy. Exciting too. Here at the Carter household we really don't go nuts around this time of year. We just try and stay mellow and not go into debt and enjoy togetherness with friends and family. To me that's a great Xmas. No eggnog, no chopped down trees, no stockings (other than on our feets), but the snow is here, but it looks like rain is in the forecast for Detroit on the 25th (which I'm fine with!)

Before the year is out I still gotta turn 35 years old. I remember thinking I was going to be over the hill by then when I was younger, so I guess I'm over the hill on the 29th. Go ahead, rub it in now. I did pick up the nickname "Grandpa" this year... but that's more of a reference of my taste in cars (I'm not into super extreme chops and slams and certainly not the Rat Rods)

Lastly, I gotta kiss '09 away soon after the birthday. It was weird getting used to saying "oh-one" or "oh nine"... what the hell are we gonna call next year? My vote is "twenty-ten" First person who says "oh-ten" gets a smack. But I'm looking forward to a lot of events in 2010. Autorama, Torque Fest, Sins of Steel, Hell on Wheels (if there is one) and Hunnert too. Plus I plan to have some new products out here soon! New patches and the launch of "Sins of Speed ™" line up! Twenty Ten here we come.

Happy Holidays in any which way you celebrate.

Cheers from the Motor City.
