I did this in memory of the 1963 Kombi in the junkyard. This I found in December on it's way to the crusher:
I pulled off the ID plates, and will attach them on the back of the hubcap, with a small picture of the real 1037376.
And so, the 63 Kombi lives on, looking new and still driving the roads. There is nothing like a Kombi being driven by a skeleton.
Old Busses never die, they just drive away.

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

That's great! I really like both the story and the painting.
Your art would look great on really big posters.

I'd be sued big time. I am trying to make my own brand of things, once I get a thousand or so of these hubcaps painted I think I'll have it.hambone wrote:That's great! I really like both the story and the painting.

Back side of the 1963 Kombi hubcap. I think from now on I will save parts of junkyard Busses and attach them to a small painting of itself. I guess the next one will be that yellow Ghia, since I did get 3 hubcaps from it.

I wanted to capture the Road Warrior as my next weird hubcap art. After I painted the 1963 Kombi as driving down the road for many more years, I felt inspired to do the same with Colin's Bus. And so, from a shot from his travels, I made this in about a day. Not a duplicate of the original shot, but hey it wasn't supposed to be. I have to get better paints too.
I did want to ask Colin where this was, I think I remember something about Shoshone somewhere. Here is the picture I got it from.

Dayam! You're really getting good at this stuff, Sylvester.

I was going to stencil in "Road Warrior" on the side, hence the lack of vegetation. Notice your clock on the dash, and your license plate number. The blue was all I had, it is crappy and too glossy, I may redo it. Thanks for the compliment Colin, we may have to auction this one off for IAC server funds.Amskeptic wrote:Dayam!

Saw the clock and barely the license plate. We'll have to get the manufacturers plate off the carcass and put it in the hubcap art.

Latest one, I call it "Samantha the Bus Pilot on top of Samantha, my Bus" or something like that. My feeble attempt at a human in paint again, and my Bus makes a cameo appearance.

From that picture Samantha looks chunky, and the Bus looks like a pink Vanagon. It is the curve of the cap that makes it so, really.

Lo and behold someone got that Bus out of the pull a part! It won't die! I have the plates though!Sylvester wrote:I did this in memory of the 1963 Kombi in the junkyard. This I found in December on it's way to the crusher:

I finished this one, I started it some time ago and never did complete it until this weekend. If I do a Japanese flag, that will certainly be easier, heh.
