Usually, the rods and customs in this art were piloted by slobbering, snaggle-toothed monsters with bulging, bloodshot eyes. Thanks to the iron-on T-shirt boom of the '70s and a raft of younger artists working today, hot rod monsters have persevered.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nNow award-winning car-designer Thom Taylor and legendary kustom culture figure Ed Newton reveal the tricks and techniques used by masters past and present to render these whack rods and their warts-and-all drivers. Beginning with a brief history of the form, the authors examine figures like Stanley Mouse, Ed Roth, and Newton himself, then reveal how those pioneers influenced modern artists like Keith Weesner, John Bell, and Dave Deal, to name a few.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIn addition to offering chapters covering topics like equipment, perspective, light sources, and other technical considerations, Taylor expands on the cartooning, proportion, and color chapters from his previous works, applying them to the subject at hand. Also includes dozens of examples of the form from many of the above-mentioned artists and more.","brand":"Gordon Harris - The Art \u0026 Graphic Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44723293192251,"sku":"B9780760324714","price":79.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/7299\/6411\/files\/B9780760324714.jpg?v=1792812071","url":"https:\/\/www.gordonharris.co.nz\/products\/ht-draw-crazy-cars-and-mad-monsters","provider":"Gordon Harris - The Art \u0026 Graphic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
