runner up for best airbrushed vehicle at SEMA 2012 goes to Ed Williamson




the last time I saw cool airbrushing like this? Was Ed's previous SEMA truck... yeah, he's that good! http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/11/soon-to-be-on-cover-of-truck-magazine.html







So I walked around it photosgraphing the panels, and marveling at the occasional cool standout skull... and decided to photograph them and point out the interesting ones I noticed (I probably missed some)



in the center above is a "Mask" like in the Jim Carrey movie, to the far right is "Pinhead" from the horror movie (and I didn't notice it when I took this photo)


Above, a pirate, maybe Capt Jack Sparrow


Above, Frankenstein


Above, the mask from "V for Vendatta" which is representing Guy Fawkes


Above, at left, the "Silence of the Lambs" character that Anthony Hopkins played


not sure about the gas mask on the left


Terminator and a Chinese dragon


A Trojan from the movie "300"


The Crypt keeper "Tales From The Crypt" movies


A new art movement of the past couple years that is gaining a lot of attention in the tattoo and rat rod crowd, something akin to the celebration of Mexico for "Day of the Dead"


Easter Island statue "Maoi"


Star Wars Stormtrooper


Not sure of the above, neither the far left, or the center, or the right with the wired jaws


A king, probably King Arthur

and a cyclops

Ray Evernham made a 64 Plymouth Belvedere just like the ones that won in NASCAR, in 1964 at the Daytona 500 and the NASCAR Grand National Championship


750 Hp, 4 speed, front and rear clips from a modern NASCAR race car, and fully adjustable suspension. The only thing it doesn't come with is a crew chief and a pit crew!











Net proceeds from the sale will go to Evernham Family Racing for a Reason, a foundation that is funding IGNITE, a new program and facility in Davidson, N.C. operated by the Autism Society of North Carolina.

 IGNITE enables adults with High-Functioning Autism or Asperger Syndrome to enjoy a better quality of life as valued members of the community in which they live and work.

Business cards are now a lot classier, and metal. You can even get credit cards of steel or aluminum.





The above business card is the real thing for the company, and if you were giving this to someone, they would know immediately you mean business.

They cost about 3 dollars apiece, and a minimum order is probably 1000, but wow.... if you can afford it, do it. http://miladisplays.com/metalcards.htm

the 1963 Citreon 2CV of Stephanie Vinatier and Barbara Treuiller







Vengeance... made by Speed by Design








 this has some really good airbrushing, and I asked who did it? No one had an answer, and at their website, http://www.speedbydesign.net/vengenceforsale.html they don't credit the artist.


Iwata airbrush supplies








this Frankenstein, wow.
