Tony T Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Wow! Always love the Sketchpad art, Jairus! Fantastic! The '70 Camaro convertible ad is great. Any other Phantom advertisements like that? Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 OK Jairus- I have a question on another one I've started. Years ago I saw a drawing of a 61 Bel Air wagon done as a driver's rear 3/4 view. The artist had used an additional bubble top to extend the roof. Was that also your drawing? I began building one of it but using the 62 Bel Air. It has the bodywork completed and that's as far as I got. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Jairus- I have a question on another one I've started. Years ago I saw a drawing of a 61 Bel Air wagon done as a driver's rear 3/4 view. The artist had used an additional bubble top to extend the roof. Was that also your drawing? Yeah that was mine. Printed in one of the last issues of Plastic Fanatic I believe. I searched my computer for an hour and could not find the image. If I run across it I will post. Got to be somewhere..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I thought that it must be one of yours. It looked like it from what I can remember. So, that makes 5?, I think. They are: 70 1/2 Camaro 62 Bel Air Wagon 65/97 Mustang 64 Fairlane 60 Starliner Drag Car I'd also like to do your 06 Mustang Revell Drag car and your 62 T-Bird (futuristic silver car with glass top.) Here are a few photos of the builds so far. You've already seen the Camaro 62 Bel Air Wagon 65/97 Mustang More to come. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 64 Fairlane (not much here) 60 Starliner Drag The Starliner is just about done. All I have to do is a final paint and polish, BMF and make air intake tubes for the carbs. It has been stalled for probably 12 years and I'm SO close. Thanks for looking and any comments or criticisms are welcomed. Thanks for the ideas Jairus. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I sure wish that I could find a set of 17/19 inch wheels like that on the Mustang.Any ideas. None of the newer Mustangs have the right centers. Mine are some that I made using the centers from the new Cal Wheels 60 Impala, some big and little tires from the patrs box and Pegasus 23 inch aluminum sleves. I still need to paint the centers.I saw an Ebay listing from PSF hobbies that looked like the right size tires. I may search those out.

Kaleb Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Ill have to find my benz drawing....Jairus what do you use for your coloring? Im not trying to steal work by any means. I love to draw and cars and people are by far the best things to draw. I use just a pencil to shade or use an ink pencil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love to draw and cars and people are by far the best things to draw. I use just a pencil to shade or use an ink pencil. Ink pen and acrylic paints with an airbrush. Then a little artists markers for details and a very little colored pencil for effect. Speaking of skecth pad art work any 62 comet stuff floating out there thanks steve. Is there a kit available of a 1962 Mercury Comet? I generally only do drawings for the mag that are of subjects in scale and available recently. I have not done any in the past but if a kit is coming I will certainly consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Thanks, Now once I get my airbrush set up ill be able to do more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairus Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 Thanks, Now once I get my airbrush set up ill be able to do more. Kaleb, the acrylics I use are made by "Golden" but you can use pretty much anything including Createx and model car paints! Just thin everything to the consistence of water. Very thin when airbrushing on paper. I paint on Strathmore Bristol ONLY. This is because it takes the frisket masking material well and allows cutting the mask right on the paper with-out going through. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

I offered it up to Dave for the challenge so if you keep it under your hat and ask him soon... you could have an additional reason to build it. But my personal opinion is you should start over with a '61! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwit Pushin Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Jairus, I have been a huge fan of yours and all of the talented artists that have been featured in the magazines you mentioned, so am keen to see what other folks request. Great idea! There was an artist I remember, (I believe he's now deceased). His name was Brian Borden. I recall a piece he did which featured a 59 Ford Retractable, (I think) black in color, with a guitar and pair of boots posed nearby. That piece has been stuck in my memory bank since the first time I saw it. It has always been my intention to recreate that car. Perhaps, if you guys have access to any of Brian's art you might post some of those. Anyhow, my two cents worth. Again love the work you and the others create. Keep providing the rest of us with your artistic inspiration. Take care! -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Jarius, I enjoy your cool auto art! I believe you did a 57 GMC Crew cab a while back. Do you have that one still? I would love to see it again. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been great to have him still today producing art and inspiring us. His demise was way too soon!!! Thanks Jarius, I enjoy your cool auto art! I believe you did a 57 GMC Crew cab a while back. Do you have that one still? I would love to see it again. Mark Nope. Went to Car Modeler back in the day and I never saw the original art ever again. Highland Productions didn't return it and so the only place you can see it is in the printed pages. Sorry....
