Should you get pinstripes?

We're all thrilled to get a new car, whether it's new from a dealer, or just new to us. Once we get our new ride home, we want to really make it our own. One of the easiest ways to do that is to have it customized with paint, namely, pinstripes. That's where I come in.
I listen to what my clients want, what they like, and then I creatively come up with ideas uniquely suited to them as individuals. My job is to make people happy. When they drive away, or pick up their newly painted item, I want them to enjoy it for many, many years to come! I want them to look at the customized painted artwork I did especially for them, and SMILE.
Some people have a "less is more" outlook, and I like to share my view that pinstripes are like diamond stud earrings with a little black dress.
Others want something bold, and I say, go bold or go home.
I like to give people what THEY want, to their taste and style.

Train at The Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, MI

Where to start? Winters have usually been my rest period since I usually don't get a lot of work then. There aren't any art fairs, or car shows, not a lot of weddings, it's just basically an historically slow period for me. Not this winter! I was asked to do some restoration lettering and striping at The Henry Ford Museum at Greenfield Village in Dearborn Michigan on a tender tank that used to be owned by Henry Ford. What's a tender tank you ask? I didn't know what one was, either, until it was explained to me. It's the train car right behind the locomotive that holds water. In this case, 18,000 gallons of water. Apparently Henry Ford used to like to drive a real, full sized train around for fun. Now it's at the museum and after ten years of restoration work, it was ready to have the finishing touches put on it. I was lucky enough to have been in the right place at the right time, as well as having the necessary skills, to be asked to do this incredible job:...

Magazine Article

Pinstriping and Kustom Graphics is a wonderful magazine, and they are going to do an article on me and my work. I'm really excited! I've been gathering images to send them, which hasn't been as easy as you'd think! They want pictures of the whole car, which makes sense, but I usually forget to bring my camera, and when I do, I just take pictures of my work, not the whole vehicle! One job I did was some of my best work, so I decided to drive an hour to the guy's house to take a picture of the car, since I only had a picture of the c-pillar and my work on it! He was very accomodating; I told him it was for a magazine article and he was more than happy to oblige! I've finally got enough pictures to send, now all I have to do is write a 200-300 word "bioblog" on myself and then send it. Another magazine, Throttle Gals, is supposed to be doing an article on me, too. I didn't have to do anything for that one other that paint! Lots less work for ...

Forbidden Wheels Motorcycle Club Show

I went to Brighton yesterday and pinstriped for eight hours! I had a lineup of bikes waiting for me, it was awesome! The guys, and gals, in the Forbidden Wheels Motorcycle Club are amazing. What a generous group of people! Here's some pictures of some of my work from the show. I hope you enjoy them.
