I love Murlas done on vans,
I've search the internet looking for something that i want to go on the side or back of mine and got no clue what i really want or where to get it done. Maybe a griffin rippin the side open or attacking a lion or knight.
anyone know a good artist?
-
Where about are you located?
-
brisbane on the northside
-
Heya ill be after some mural work also......Im in Melbourne, nothing too extreme, just some basic stuff, at moment. Although id be interested in someone who can do flame work (not traditional but more like the sun, like a burning ball)? also what are the steps, do i get it painted first, or does the artist need to hang with the body painter?
-
I know someone in Kyneton Vic that does really nice work. He is a tattooist but also does air brushing.
Example tattoo:

Dave Hart is your man in Melbourne,Little Mick works out Brisbane way,he is good.

the flames you want are called 'real flames' and you can get it painted first but best if it`s done in c.o.b. or clear over base , as the best efect for murals is to clear over them . it really brings out the colours and helps protect them . bewarned murals can be expensive especialy if done by tattooist at the same rate as tattoos $100 an hour . ask the auto shops there`s probably a painter that can do it too and they can be better at larger stuff plus they know thier paint so you wont have probs with it flaking off.

anyone know who owns it :)
-
Its owned by Rod he lives in Melbourne and does airbrushing for a living.
-
Strez: So say i get it painted (finished and all) then the airbrush guy can come and paint, and id need to get another clear over that yeah?
Where can i find a picture of "real flames" see im not after "flames" as such, just that firey look, and contast.
-
Real Fire is the term I think its called. If you've seen Overhaulin or Rides a guy call Mike Lavalle is the man.

thats them spanners and kirk yes would be best to get it recleared . airbrushing doesn`t have to be over fresh paint can be over old stuff but best if over paint in good condition no mater how old.
-
hey strez I had this mural done a few years ago I found the pic in a fantasy art book but I cant remember the original artists
name would you have any ideas who did it originally?
(http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x234/craigc327/SWEETWAND.jpg)

Most of the murals on Vans back in the day were inspired by Tolkein and Asimov.
A lot also came from a guy whos name escapes me in Melbourne.
Rowan something, He had a great Van called witch Queen.
Dont know what he was smokin but he was out there.
Met him in Mildura but he was out there if ya know what I mean?
-
"Met him in Mildura"
what year was that?
-
70s something I think.......bloody long time ago

This is one of the vans that sucked me in to vanning way back when
(http://www.amvanen.org/vanCover1.jpg)
-
What type of van is that? Strange beast....
-
thats nice paint work, not too sure about that van :-\
-
I reckon its a Baja / Baha late 60 - early 70 septic van
-
It's a ford falcon econoline 1963 (ish) vintage
That van was on ebay(usa) about 4-5 months ago.
Don't know what it went for
-
Thanks Vanner,did you know him at all?
No Pickme up, did not know him, just a fan of murals and vannin history.
Those Ford Econolines from the 60's are a huge craze over in the states at the moment, there are clubs just for those type of vans.
