You Old Timers remember these?

Pablo · 01-27-2008, 09:13 PM

In the last century, when I was a kid, I was a fan of Hot Rod magazine. l especially liked the art of one Ed Roth. I bought a few of his prints in B&W on paper. I couldn't afford the color ones or the T shirts that he also sold. A while back I found those old prints so I digitized and added color to them. I hope 'ole Ed does not mind. I thought that some of our more well seasoned members might enjoy them....heck, maybe some of the youner ones who don't know Ed's work might too. Here they are..ENJOY

Best Regards
Pablo

I do remember those adds in Hot Rod, very cool shirts. I seem to remember there were a lot of Armed Forces cartoons as well.
Cheers

Great pics! I don't think he'll mind, he died back in '01. Ed was a pioneer in CARtoons. When I was a kid, I was a car kid and since I liked to draw I used to try to do drawings like his. I think my parents thought I was a little warped upstairs, but a few of those drawings were in my portfolio when I applied to art school.

RIP Ed.

"Was he called "Big Daddy"?

Yes, he was. He went by the moniker "Big Daddy Ed Roth"

Best regards
