Title: 10 letters of striping
Post by: CJHacker on July 01, 2005 10:11 pm

The following is from kustomkeifer @ kustomkulture.com

Once you've done about 100 of each line you are ready to put together some designs. Use your magazines and copy all the striping you like. You'll notice that all pinstriping is constructed from versions of the 10 lines. After you copy other people's stuff for a while you'll start to think about the designs in a new way, Pinstripes are a visual language and those are the 10 "letters" in the language.

Funny thing is, only time I seem to be sitting around long enough to practice is in the bathroom, so of course I'm forced to practice on whatever is around at the time.  Mostly magazines....

It'll take some time, but at least I'm figuring out the paint mix and brush control.  It'll be interesting to see what happens on night 3.

That would be the ticket, wouldn't it.  Might suck come winter though.
