Last Month's: Hopefully now that we went through a month with a few participants, more people are ready to jump in... All are welcome to submit pieces that relate to the theme. (This is not a contest) With that said... Start your engines and meet me at the race track, Jack! BURN, baby, BURN!!! |

Thats a great start to this months theme. I am working on a carving but I am also just learning Photoshop. Here is my first attempt at using it. I took a photo of hotrod that I shot at a local show and a pic of one of my carvings . Added some flames and then played with the filters. [ Edited by: rodeotiki 2005-08-08 17:57 ] |

Flacookz, that looks like the beginning of one hell of a roadtrip. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished piece. Ro-deo, way to jump into Photoshop. My first Photoshop piece featured a saxamaphone. Your's is much cooler. |

Aloha fellow tiki artists and tiki art lovers. Like Kirby I also have a hot rod tiki piece that I had done. Thought I would share. Great thread by the way, lets see some more hot rod tiki art! Titled Grand Theft Tiki |

Not sure of this qualifies for this topic, but I did create this car, and there is a tiki in it. Not exactly a Hot Rod, but maybe this would fit better in "Mild Custom" Tiki? |

Great stuff, everyone. Tiki and hot rod seems like an oxymoron, but on a pop cultural level the two complement each other so well, it seems like a natural combo. Especially the way each of these pieces were executed. Shawn and I are working on a piece right now but I don't know if we'll make the deadline. |

They are both all about escaping life and having a good time. 50s rod culture is romanticised the same way as polynesian pop is (eg. American Graffiti). Maybe thats why they go so well. Better late than never! |

This was a great subject. Here is a tiki that I did a few months back for a friend. It sits in the "flower pot" on her dash of a convertible Bug. These were done for the local Ferrari dealership to be sold as T-shirts. Not really "Hot Rod" or "Tiki", but what the hell.

tiki self portrait sounds like a good one. I know that it helps to have a constant look for yourself and facial hair helps too. So mine would have thick eyebrows and an goatee. |
