Robert Williams, lowbrow artist extraordinaire



His website and gallery of art, including the Hot Rod Race, Appetite for Destruction, Girl with the Faberge Ass, and about a dozen others.. in flash.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Williams_(artist) known to most as the artist who did the liner art poster for Guns and Roses Appetite for destruction, and known to some for the masterpiece "Hot Rod Race".

Robert worked as Ed Roth's art director, and in 1994 got a magazine going, maybe you've heard of Juxtapoz magazine? I doubt it, but who knows? http://beinart.org/artists/robert-williams/

My kind of trophy


From this months Goodguys publication for members, here's their website for perusing for awesome hot rods :

Rollie Free, who on Sept 13th 1948 broke the 150 mph motorcycle speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats on a modified Vincent Black Shadow. He stripped down to bathing trunks and lay flat on the bike to decrease wind resistance.
