One Hot Burnout! Pinc Tacos Poster.

Ok, so now that we've settled on the image, we're throwing in the neon sign and a little bit of flavor text. The text may change or we may throw it out entirely, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I'm a huge fan of all things classic, so naturally I chose this very attractive Art Deco font for the flavor text.

Skier Update!

Just wanted to post this quick update on the Pinc Tacos skier. A friend of mine from RMCAD suggested that I try doing a high-key pinup, so that the flesh doesn't look so "Hard." I'm not sure if I've quite achieved it, yet, but it's certainly starting to pop.

Pinc Tacos - Skier Spraying the White!

So you saw the snowboarder, now here's the skier that I'm working on. This is second draft that I've sent to Pinc Tacos of this pose. Once again, the catch-phrase for this winter series will be "It just feels right to spray the white!"

This is the piece that I did for the Art Bash. Go and see it Live, it looks much better. It's kind of blown out in this poor photograph.

Pinc Tacos - One HOT Burnout! Final (maybe)

Ok, after blood, sweat, tears, and probably the loss of 8 or so pounds, I believe that I'm finished with "One Hot Burnout!" Everything's been polished, contoured, and Turned on, I think I'm ready to stamp my final seal on this one. Of course it's all up to the clients to tell me if there's anything else that they want to see, but I'm guessing that this one's good to go!

Pinc Tacos - S&S Ironhorse Hotties Update!

With the holiday, last week, I had to take a day off, but I realized just a minute ago that I've neglected to post an update on the Burnout piece for Pinc Tacos. So here's a quick shot of my progress. The girls are nearly done, then it's the headlight and the smoke from the burning rubber, and then Fine'. Take a look at the girls in the meantime. = D

One Hot Burnout - S & S Engine Completed!

I've finished up with all of the mechanics of the engine and the pipes, So I wanted to just throw it up here and share it with you guys. This is an S&S 45th Anniversary 145 cubic inch high performance V-Twin engine. The engine was first built in 2003 as a tribute to the original founders, George and Marjorie Smith. In addition, it commemorates Harley Davidson’s 100th Anniversary. It was also intended to honor all passionate builders, riders, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts who have helped grow the 100-year evolution of the V-Twin motorcycle market. The 145 Cubic Inch motor is capable of producing over 185 horse-power and 180 ft. lbs. of torque. Very Impressive! I turned off the smoke from the burn-out so that you can better examine the motor.
