I attended a pinstriping workshop with pinstriping master Pekka Wizzz at Sivletto in Stockholm this weekend. Even though I’ve been to quite a few workshops now, I still learned a lot. The master pinstripers know so many amazing tricks. Little details they’ve picked up over the years that are worth pure gold if you make [...]
A couple of recent pinstriping jobs I just finished. Didn’t have time to do much on the sweet fifties Pontiac as it was getting dark. But sometimes just a little is just enough. Will probably be doing a second session at some point. The custom Harley Davidson Nighttrain was a returning customer who came back [...]
Totally by coincidence I stumbled upon a company that sells vinyl pinstriping stickers, and one of their designs is 100% copied from one of my designs. I know because it is a pretty distinctive and not very good design. It was actually the first design I ever did. It was done on my practice board, [...]
Finished some work before the show last week. Things are pretty hectic these days. New show next weekend and more jobs again next week.
There’s a feature article on me in the latest issue of Pinstriping & Kustom Graphics Magazine (July/August 2009). The magazine is more or less the industry standard among pinstripers world wide. I appreciate the acknowledgement that lies in those guys spending three full pages in a very busy magazine to display my work.
This weekend at Græsted Veterantræf I had the pleasure of pinstriping these fine vehicles. The truck is a 1938 Ford, and the motorcycle is a custom bolt on hardtail Triumph. The weather was very good, maybe a little too good. The flatblack paintjobs got so hot that I could hardly place my fingers on it [...]
hotrod.com has this sweet video with the greatest pinstriping legends in action. It’s around 25 minutes and free to watch. The speed with which these guys lay down lines are totally out of this world. Most of them also have 30-40 years of experience. But still it’s awesome to watch. Watch the full video at [...]
Did some lettering and a bit of pinstriping on a sail boat today. The client wanted something simple, but yet very different from the average slapped on sticker name you see on a lot of boats.
Just got news today from Lynda over at Pinstriping UK that they started up a blog for the excellent Pinstriping and Kustom Graphics Magazine. My bet is that it’ll be worth keeping an eye on for the latest in Kustom Kulture stories.
Thought I’d kick this blog off by posting some photos from my advanced pinstriping course with Herb Martinez in Berlin 2008. Herb is one of the greatest pinstriping legends. He’s been pinstriping professionally for more than 30 years. Besides being a great teacher, he is also never shy of telling stories about the boys back [...]
