I'm a painter(houses and motorcycles), more for fun than money at this point as I am in school and just got a bartending gig, so I don't have to monkey around on peoples houses trying to restore their dental molding anymore. but I still do bikes cuz I like to and I'm not even close to sick of it.

so far I haven't done too much pinstriping on bikes. but I've striped lots of other stuff, like helmets, etc.

anyways, I like striping and really want to do a gas tank or something, I might just have to do my own

.

but to keep sharp I've been doing artwork, here's some examples of pinstriped designs...

all of the backgrounds and frames done with automotive paints left over from motorcycle painting jobs. pinstriping/outlines done with 1 shot enamel and pinstriping brush. stripes are done on the glass.

let me know what you think.

and I just finished 2 more. you may start to notice a bug theme. I'll post some more pics later...

here's 2 more pieces I did.

the red one is hard to photo, the metallic red 'blood' the bugs are feasting on is a cool color that only shows in photos w/ the flash, but the glass reflects the flash and I am no photographer, obviously. it looks awesome in person, prob my fave one. but in pics it's not so hot.

the mirror one is proof you can paint anything, even a mirror. I used an adhesion promoter.
