My ACD Art

Here are some of my digital works. I don't have time to work on stuff very often. These were taken at auburn in '05 and '06, I think. They are before and afters of a process that is supposed to mimic the results of a camera called a Lomo, which is a Russian knockoff of a really expensive camera. The pictures the camera takes are special by themselves, but often are processed with chemicals for a different film type, which leads to even more interesting photos. I'm not sure how close they come to actually looking like a lomo picture, but they definitely pop.




I can make higher resolution copies available, if anyone is interested.

The Auburns are watercolors. Watercolor is probably my favorite paint as far as working with pictures.

The brown Cord fog/driving lamp is acrylic (which I hate painting with due to the fact that it is water based and we always had to paint it on canvas boards for class projects such as this one.) I initially didn't like this one very much, but grow to like it more as time passes. I was happy that the project was focused on a more realistic look with shading and such, as previous projects in acrylic had been abstract; therefore, boring to me.

The red Cord is a reversal, as my art teacher calls it, where the paper is of dark color (in this case dark red), and all the drawing is done with a light colored pencil.

If you have a chance to look, I have a few other pictures at my website, such as a pencil 32 Auburn Speedster, and some other colored pencil drawings I have done.

I don't need a medium. I need a large or extra large.

Wes,

Very nice pics. What is your medium?

Here is the view of the whole front of the car for better identification purposes.



Thanks for all your help, I appreciate it very much.

I stand corrected, the radiator in the artwork is more like a 1926 and not a 1929-1930 Auburn. I must have been halucinating.

DJ,
Nice pic. I will post a picture this weekend of a later Auburn motometer which may be more period correct for the 1929-1930 radiator shown in the artwork.

Wes - Great Art photos! You bring out some fascinating features of the cars with your interpretations.

DJ - Very nice photos. It's like getting a free airplane ticket to Auburn for the event. Nicely done.

More Pictures and can see them enlarged

I just realized that I did not upload this one.

I could use some help. If anyone knows what the manometer says inside, I would like to know, so I can add that. A detail picture would be great if possible.

Very nice job Wes. I'm impresed by the details.

I have been going to the ACD Labor Day meet at Auburn for the last 8 years. Each year, I try to take pictures of these wonderful cars. I get a vision of them in my head, and can never find exactly what I'm looking for on a Google image search. Anyway, over the years, my high school art class has led to a reproduction of some of these pictures in my artwork. I would like to share them with you and have a chance to let them be seen more widely than the living room walls.







I have the original pictures for many of these on my website in their appropriate categories. Note the pictures there are BIG, so if you have slow internet; be warned! On the upside, they do make nice desktop pictures!
