When Kelsey Dum posted his new website showing some of his work a few weeks ago, it reminded me of something that I wanted done. I contacted Kelsey, described that I was after a aircraft style "nose art" panel with a particular type of girl, and he sent me the below finished panel that he painted. He was very quick and I couldn't be happier with his work....I love how the piece came out! I was going to put this in the headliner area of my coupe with the aircraft style interior, but I may just hang it up instead. Thanks Kelsey.

Sorry about the crummy photo. It's the best I can do right now.....................

 
I love retro nose art too and that piece is awesome! Those rivets alone must have taken forever to create! (I can hear Gastrick now, "There's rivets on there?") [P

Great work, Kelsey! And congrats, Gas!

Thanks and glad you like it Gastrick. The rivets do take about as long as real rivets, but it's fun for me. Anyone else need anything just give me a shout.

Thanks again Gastrick.
 
Looks good KD. I'm interested in getting someone to do a small 8"x11" 'nose art' style piece for my Bentley project that I can weld/screw/bolt to the side panel or a skinny taller one for the front door post. or a 4"x6" for the hood side.

I was thinking something like this wolf pic, but a Rat with a top hat instead.

The Bentley looks like a custom, but I want to be sure to keep the RAT as the style, and the "Top Hat Rat" kinda sez what I'm doing.

The cars gonna be black primer, and I'm not particular what 'style' rat head is used--Cartoon style is good, as is Ratfink, or 'slick rat' (I couldn't find a pic of that style, but I like it), I do like the pic over a white circle-'meatball' like this and a tall slim body, or maybe just a head and hat shot. Maybe a long tail wrapping around the pic? Kinda up to what you like. 3 or 4 colors or even black and white would be good, as I'm color defecient--I only see 6 or 8 colors. Nothing real elaborate-in fact the simpler the better--like nose art. I'm open to suggestions--what would you like?


PM me if your interested.

Thanks
