A couple of weeks ago I mentioned to Doc. in a PM that I was planning on attending a panel jam and charity auction that benifited a Children's Hospital and wondered if he was interested in any artwork. I knew he collected artwork from HAMB folks and I kinda had an idea on who was going to be at the panel jam, HAMB-wise and others. He was all over it and a plan was formed. I sent him some preview spy photos of some artwork that I already knew was in process or already completed for the event. Doc told me what he liked and a couple things I should try for. The rest was up to me. :D
Friday nite after work I flew into Milwaukee for their World Of Wheels event which was highlighted by the panel jam and auction for the children's hospital charity. Checked in to a hotel and set out looking for a quick bite to eat. Low and behold, just down the street from the hotel was a fimilar site. I'd never been, only seen photos and was totally bummed when we pulled into the parking lot and it was closed. Oh well, went down the street, ate and called it a nite.

Next morning headed to the fairgrounds where the event was held. Lucky me, a pass was waiting for my arrival. Found the panel jam area right away. WOW, was the first thought. I couldn't believe how much square footage was dedicated to this portion of the show. They had it set up with a nice stage area, large display areas of finished panels, and areas where artists were still working. I received the royal treatment and was shown around and introduced to many of the artists. I learned these artists are the cream of the crop in their field and after looking at all the panel I strongly agreed.

I tried bidding on the boogie board on the left but it went high but BobK was able to win the panel on the right.

"Pair of Deuces" was done by Tom Kelly of Chicago. I tried to get it for Doc and OldBobSign wanted it for himself as well. Neither got it.:( Went very high which is a good thing cuz it was for the children. Seemed everything with '32's on it went high.

This sign kit was made almost 30 years ago by the gentleman in the photo, Ken Millar. What a sweetie!........and character! Old BobSign purchased it way back then and had it tucked away for something special. A year ago he started asking stripers to work their magic on it and it's chalk full of the Legends work. Doc had seen photos of it and showed an interest in obtaining it. Unfortunantly WillieG wanted it as well and took high bid of $800.00

The events honoree, who was receiving a Lifetime Acheivement Award on Saturday nite, was Alton Gillespie (on the left, Larry, OldBobSign on the right). Alton was a character and I was drawn to him straight away.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/MotorCityHotRodder/2007%20Events/Milwaukee%20Panel%20Jam/DSC01378.jpg)
Two panels by Alton. The details were outstanding.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/MotorCityHotRodder/2007%20Events/Milwaukee%20Panel%20Jam/DSC01445.jpg)
This panel I wanted it really, really bad for Doc. Opening bid was $1000. and it sold for $1,500.00. I really wanted to obtain a panel from the honoree for Doc but I guess everyone else did as well. I thrilled for the charity that panels went high.

One of the highlights for me, one of many I should add, was meeting and chatting with Darrell Mayabb. He showed me some of his artwork and explained the stories behind them. What an AWESOME treat! When he found out I would be traveling thru ColoRODo in August he gave me his number and told me to feel free to stop by.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/MotorCityHotRodder/2007%20Events/Milwaukee%20Panel%20Jam/DSC01387.jpg)
About this time Tom Kelly arrived with a piece that lots of us were waiting to see in person. I had sent photos to Doc and he showed an interest in obtaining this piece as well. Bummer it was another piece that WillieG wanted. Him and I went at it back and forth but I had to back down at $1,000.00. It went for $1,100.00. Doc and I vowed that next year....well lets just say Willie won't walk with everything that Doc has his eye on.:D

At this point I took alittle "break" from the art and turned my attention to the cars. They had a very nice display of '32's.

Bob Behounek working on "The Chair". I pulled this chair out of my basement and recovered it so I could donate it for the auction. I thought it would be a good piece to have alot of different artists work on it. Larry picked up some House of Kolor black pearl and painted the chair. Him and PeterPan of Chicago laid some lines on it last week to get the ball rolling, then he took it to Milwaukee where lots of other artists did the same. Looked totally awesome and I wanted Doc to have it and guess what.....I won the auction for Doc on this chair! I'm going to do one just like it for Detroit and ask those artist to do the same.

One of the auctioneers took a liking to me and publicly during the auction asked me to go to dinner. I think he thought I had deep pockets.....at dinner I set him straight that I was bidding for someone else and filled him in on the details. I agreed to go to dinner if I could bring my bodyguards.

I remember seeing this car at the HCPU and feel in love with it there. Looked even better without all the dust and dirt on it.

Once back at the panel jam area I caught Alton putting some more touches on this panel that I really wanted to bid on for Doc but it wasn't finished on Saturday so I'm assuming it was going to be auctioned on Sunday.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/MotorCityHotRodder/2007%20Events/Milwaukee%20Panel%20Jam/DSC01496.jpg)
I got a lesson in gold leafing and Larry decided my tongue needed alittle "brightening up"

Ran into BobK, the skull, and his lovely wife Maggie. I'm holding a panel Bob won. Nice seeing you two again Bob. Looking forward to the Detroit Autorama.

One of the Harley designers, Paul Martin, striped my Harley purse for me. He then came up with the idea to have WillieG sign it. Even though Willie beat me outta a couple of things I wanted to pick up for Doc, he was a really nice man and thanked us for being there and supporting the charity.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/MotorCityHotRodder/2007%20Events/Milwaukee%20Panel%20Jam/DSC01516.jpg)
The last auction for Saturday was at 7pm and was also when they presented Alton with his award.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/MotorCityHotRodder/2007%20Events/Milwaukee%20Panel%20Jam/DSC01518.jpg)
Lots of folks said lots of nice things about Alton. Tears were shed. Alton is a very humble man and you could tell he was very respected in his field by his peers.

About 9:30 said my goodbyes, so-longs, nice to meet ya's, copped a few last minute hugs, made plans with a few to hook up in Detroit, and headed out the door with the wrapped goodies knowing I had a full day ahead of me at the Grand Rapids Autorama the next day.
Drove to my Aunt and Uncles place in Kzoo and crashed for the nite. Got up and went to a little family resturant for breakie then I headed for Grand Rapids. Part two of the rest of the weekend coming after work tonight. Includes coverage of not only the Grand Rapids Autorama but their panel jam and charity auction, the traditional cars that were there including Dave Shuten's bubble top which debuted there AND my stop at the Ionia Hot Rod Shop for a final lookover of their roadster thats heading to the GNRS this week. Stay tuned.
So where is the second day?
Yeah, we haven't see you with enough guys );b(

Thanks Denise.
I didn't hug as many guys on Sunday. I did get a great big hug from Tracy but no one took a photo of it.....maybe next time
:wink:
Sunday morning's weather wasn't too bad after forecasts of ice and snow. Got to the arena where the Grand Rapids Autorama was held about 12:30, alittle after the Noonish meet and greet. Didn't really matter though most of the HAMB guys were either stripers that were right there at the panel jam area or on the other side of the isle with their club display.

Chatted a bit with the stripers and checked out the panels that were to be auctioned off that afternoon. I had alittle bit of Doc's money left in my pocket so I was checking them out closely.

OldBobSign sent me an email stating that yes it probley is the same guy because he knows he grew up in Berwyn and thinks his folks still live there. Larry, OldBobSign, sees him weekly. Do you want me to pass along your phone or email address to Bob. What's your real name to pass along?
For some reason....I can't see the photos from the 2nd show....Says something like "Photobucket bandwidth exceeded" .....Have I been naughty??????

No I have, I've exceeded the 10 GB monthly bandwidth allowed on my free Photobucket acct. They want money from me now :roll: I knew I should have put all those photos on my other acct. Oh well, I guess I can make a "donation" to photobucket. I do use them an awful lot. :roll:
I saw em the other night i believe! Im sure jealous you got a pic with willie g ..
Yup he is way cool and everyone says he is a nice guy too. I do like his hot rod :lol: I guess a man with his money can have a harley and a Hot rod ? Hey look whos talking Ha Ha......... I had a talk with the head of the company today and we got on the subject of my bike. He said you kinda got screwed outta riding last summer. I told him im gonna make up for it this year..
