Well, who haven`t heard these words before...No secrets are revealed without years of practice.
I`ve just startet my journey into pinstriping and I find most difficult, irritating and exciting. I sit for hours just practicing lines and once in a while there comes a straight line and I can smell a bit of hope in the darkness.
In the beginning there is always alot of "AHA" and "F#$?%" moments...but never before have I felt this kind of calm and at the same time impatient feeling when studying something new and .
The knowlegde wil only grow with time and one day I will be able to make a good design.....but only if I practice pratice practice.........

This is what makes it so fun :)

Right now I don`t even got a can of 1-Shot, but hopefully it will arrive next week, all I have now is a Mack brush and some lousy hobbypaint, but it is fun anyway, I`m still learning and still lovin`it :)

So if anyone knows anyone that is pinstriping here in north Norway please tell me....

Hey man, good to see another new starter, you know how they say 'practice makes perfect'...... Not with pinstriping it doesn't, it'll never be perfect. It will get better in time, it might even get good, but shit man everytime you finish a piece you'll see every glitch and every mistake you made.
The customer probably thinks its great, he'll even get you new customers he's that satisfied, but you still think you suck at it !!
Never mind though, accept you fate and you will be a happier person for it ! ;-)
Enjoy dude, and get yourself some 1shot and the right reducer to go with it, it will make your life a lot easier !!
Grtz, Leo

Rockabella's, Girls As They Should Be

Hi everybody! On the first of November 2009 Roderick & Henry will be striping at the verry first convention from Rockabella's Modelling Agency in ''The Avenue'' in Breda, Holland. They have been slingin' paint for a couple of months now, and think they're ready to go live!


Not only these daring pinheads will be there, but also alternative lifestyle shops, photographers, a burlesque show, and what to think of the catwalk-show by the Rockabella-Models, Candygirls will meet you at the door. I… Continue
