    Thoughts and best wishes for a former Marine

    My 81 year old father-in-law is facing post-operative complications from a bowel resection. This is the second thing he has faced in the last few months. He fought off a wicked total body infection starting in November that took 24 hr infusions of antibiotics for 6 weeks to kick...only to be...

    Grand Prix Posters

    i have been doing lots of vintage style Grand Prix racing posters over the past few months. Some are reworks, some are re-imaginations and some are completely original. I just thought I would share the collection so far...

    Christmas eCards

    I do Christmas card images every year that I often send as eCards by text or eMail. I thought I would share a few for folks here to enjoy, share, keep or otherwise do what they want with them. Consider it my small Christmas gift to the good people of FABO...and to the naughty ones too...

    Staying busy while isolated

    i have been working from home for the past few weeks and trying to stay busy in my down time from work. I have been restoring/reworking vintage magazine covers and magazine art. I have done close to 50 of them now and I figured I would share so others can be distracted for a little while...

    NASA releases Apollo 13 video

    It’s wild to imagine what the Apollo 13 astronauts were thinking as they gazed down at these very same visuals. There they were, stuck inside their frigid spacecraft, cut off from all communication with Earth and wondering whether or not they’d actually make it back to Earth in one piece. This...

    Abandoned old cars

    I have been working on a collection of images of old abandoned cars for over a year now. They just fascinate me to look at. I finished a couple of new images today and though I would share some.

    Happy Birthday US Navy!

    The US Navy celebrates its’s 244th Birthday this Sunday. I thought I would do a little something to honor it. My grandfather helped build submarines during WWII. He was too old to serve in combat but did his part for the war effort doing the electrical wiring on submarines. He was a...

    A body close-up picture thread!

    We all have certain details on our cars that capture our focus but most other people may never see them like we do. Those details are what I want to invite folks to share so we can all see them. :) I’ll start with some from my ‘69 GTS...

    A Praying Predator

    I caught a pic of this little predator on the patio umbrella on our deck. He is in full hunt mode, just waiting for a meal to happen by. Either that, or he is trying to open the umbrella!

    Musings

    I do tons of digital art, and probably 90% isintentional with a specific purpose and outcome in mind. However, there is about 10% of it that is just letting myself go and let the image take me where it wants. It’s hard to describe, almost a semi-conscious dream state where the creation just...

    Rare Mr. Norm’s Art Work

    i was hunting around for images today and came across a rare piece of Mr. Norm’s art work. It appears to be the top part of a calendar. Since It was badly faded and worn, and I could not locate any good examples of it, I decided to recreate it in my own style. I just thought I would share...

    Go for More

    ”Go for More” was a limited t-shirt offer by Mopar in the early ‘70s. I always thought it should have been a full advertising campaign. So...I decided to create some of what I thought it could have been.

    Classic and muscle car artwork

    I am in the process of building an inventory of images I have done that are suitable for t-shirts or banners so that one day (in the future) I can create a business to sell the products at car shows and online. I have been focusing on creating a specific type of ‘Front view’ art work as an...

    Homemade Garage Wall Art

    My friend Hoppy @halifaxhops has been saving the empty ignition part boxes from his distributor repair/restoration work for me for a couple of years now and he sends them to me from time to time. I use the empty boxes to put into frames for wall art. I tape the boxes up to make them square and...

    Weight loss and perseverance

    About 16 months ago I decided that I had enough of being overweight and it was time to get serious about fixing it. I have lived with a bad back and two wrecked knees that had seriously curtailed my physical activity and cause my weight to ballon over a decade. At 315 lbs, I made my mind up to...

    As I continue work through my retirement plan to be able to retire at age 65 (10 years away) I wonder how much other folks plan to have when they retire? I am curious and looking for insight into what other folks plan to have saved.

    The A body they never made

    I always thought the notch Cuda had the perfect lines for it. Big block power and the body treatment compliments it well...and I think the logo suits it too!

    A while back I decided to do a poster for each state plus Canada. I thought folks here might like to see the full collection. Since I can only post 10 images per post, I will post them in separate groups.

    Why it sucks to get old

    My father went down hard with Alzheimer’s/dementia 6 years ago, but we still care for him and he still finds things in life to enjoy...even if he barely understands them. He is 82 now and we don’t find caring for him to be a burden. It is a cherished responsibility for a man who gave us life. He...

    Suicide? Don’t do it, seek help...please!

    I’m just posting this because you never know who it might reach. Saying it out loud might just change someone’s path. The deaths of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain and fashion designer Kate Spade highlight a troubling trend — rising suicides among middle-aged Americans. Mental health...
