About this Item

Paperback. Since the days of Von Dutch, hot rod and motorcycle enthusiasts have used pinstripes both as stand-alone art, and as a compliment to a flame or graphic paint job. The best way to learn is from someone who does it all day, and this book highlights 12 top pinstripe artists and their work, each chapter on a separate project, start to finish, from initial design to complete finish. There is full advice from the artist answering all the questions frequently asked: how do you load paint on a brush? How much paint to use? Why use this method, that type of brush? This is a comprehensive book that no airbrush practitioner can afford to miss! Since the days of Von Dutch, hot rod and motorcycle enthusiasts have used pinstripes both as artwork in its own right, and as a compliment to a flame or graphic paint job. Interest in pinstriping, both how-to and as an art form, continues to grow. The best way to learn something is from the person who does it all day long. Advanced Pinstripe Art presents the work of 12 well-known pinstripe artists. Each chapter presents a start-to-finish project done by one artist. These photo sequences take the viewer from the initial sketch to the finished design. Text explains the why of good pinstriping. Why use a particular brush, a certain paint, an unusual method. Quotes from the artists are plentiful. Advanced Pinstripe Art is designed to duplicate, as much as possible, the experience of spending a day learning first hand how to pinstripe from some of the best artists in the business.
