WEESNER CUSTOM ART

 

Weesner designs and creates beautiful and very inspiring Custom Car artwork. Often based on Custom Car Icons from the past, his Designs are being copied into real Customs more and more.



We have done an article on the beautiful Custom Car art of Keith Weesner, from Thousand Oaks, California in the past. But since then he has created a great number – we don’t even have enough space to cover them all – of new and exciting Custom Car related Illustrations and painting. Lets take a closer look at some of the most recent Weesner pieces, and some older artwork he came across while looking for inspiration and shared with the world. So get ready for some increadible Weesner Custom Art… and get inspired.

This it the drawing Keith gave to Scott Guildner in ’96 when he dropped off his ’50 Ford with him. The only difference is that at that time he hadn’t decided on ’50 Mercury bumpers yet.

Keith made this for Dave York up in Canada. His Ford is bitchin, almost like a Weesner Illustration coming to live.

Keith did the initial work on this one while waiting at the Chili’s at O’Hare Airport… waiting for his flight.

Another one with very much inspired on Keith’s own Shoebox. I love the detailed Art-Deco building in the background, and the large Weesner sign on the large brick wall behind the car.

Keith drew this Shoebox quite some time ago, but recently added a few new touches.

Very interesting concept, much like the Joe Bailon Shampoo Truck. Home made Ranchero convertible.

I shared this in the first article we did on Keith’s artwork, but since we now have the original sketch shown above, I liked to add it here again as well… and this one is just so nice… It does not hurt showing it twice.

“A custom ’48 Ford Sportsman with a Carson top! No one could, would, or would ever want to, but I can draw it, what the hell!”
[divider]




Color painting might have been inspired by the Sam Gates Coupe.

Nice ’47 Ford Convertible with cubic background. Keith Later made some changes to this one, including darker paint, before selling it on his website.

One of my personal favorites… A light colored ’41 Coupe with a lovey Speed-Boat Stance Olds Inspired grille and a perfect resemblance of some Sombrero like aftermarket hubcaps.
[divider]




Looks Like Gil Ayala’s 42 and some Barris beauties have been used for inspiration on this cool looking coupe.

Gorgeous red ’41 with Olds grille parked in a perfect setting.
