Okay, so this is not technically my art... one of my friends did a quick sketch of me in a boring class. Here it is, as photographed by webcam:

photos of leather unit patches I made

Hello members, I don't have a scanner or digital camera to copy load photos, but if you go to this site you can view a few photos of some of the many Thousands of patches I've made over the years, enjoy !
Type in- leatherworker.net then when you have the main page click into the "Our Leather Gallery " section and you'll find them under Johnny Signor's leather unit patches.

I hope someday to figure out how to work a scanner/digital camera to load stuff, sorry members I'm a neanderthal with "Techno" toys"

Hey gang.
Here is a new one I did for the annual California Screamin' show at Gasoline Gallery in El Segundo California.
I'm particularly happy with this piece.
It is oil on canvas, 16 x 20.
I just finished it so it isnt in a frame yet.
In fact the paint is still wet.
Hope you dig it.

That's great! You should do a matching "Johnny" in a cool blue.

Goodness, thanks again, everyone! I hardly know what to say.
I forgot to include the reference in my first post...it's always interesting to compare the reference with the finished piece and here I think they're definitely easy to tell apart. Which I like. =P

Flute, I have to say I usually don’t take commissions but I am known to sometimes make exceptions, so you’re welcome to PM me if you want to talk about it.

I didn't actually mean to hae it done; at least not now. Your work is amazing, but I always have hated any pictures or portraits of myself; I always feel too self absorbed when there's any piece of artwork devoted to myself hanging up.

Trying my hand at some "Art" for the first time. A few Shields of the middle ages. My Avatar is one I did of my Coat of Arms.

I occasionally recreate album covers and do other photomanipulations, as well as some illustration. Naturally, in a vintage style!

Here are a couple of Genesis (the band) themed recreations:

That's a really nice piece. What clay have you used for it? I'm guessing low fire glazes?? The colors are great. Did you do some airbrush work to the fish.... I dig the transparencey. [ I didn't realize until I looked again, WOOD....very nice use of the medium ]

New stuff...

Yes they are wood plaques deeply engraved or carved out with a dremel...detailed with different bits then stained and finally polyed. That's it..!

Very nice.....

HD,

Must admit, you have talent. Very nice work. Thanks for sharing those with me. You must have many many hours of work in each.

My art is functional....

I have an art background and some machine shop skills gained while working with my dad on the side; this is where it led me to....I make these from scratch.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Very nice..indeed! Certainly professional. Are they made from bamboo?

Bamboo

HD,

Thanks for the compliments.

Yes, the fly rods are made from Bamboo. A species that grows is a very tiny region in China, refered to as "Tonkin" Bamboo.

There rods are Hexagonal in Geometry. Each section of the rod, IE: the butt section and the tip section [2 pc rod] have 6 tapered equallateral traingles which have been hand planed in those steel forms in the background in the photo.

The 6 strips that make a rod section are then glue bound under pressure; binding cord holds them tight; then heat treated, after which a lot more work goes into finishing the blanks. Tons of work but very rewarding.

I learned from a master maker, but before he agreed to teach me the basics and some... he asked me why I wanted to make rods.....

"I told him it was sort of a extension of my life; that I thought it to be really cool for something which I hand crafted to bare my name, and be functional long after I left this world".

A Spiritual individual he was. That statement I had made to him, he thought was unique; soon after the tutorial had begun. I was glad to get his nod of approval prior to his death.
