The 100 year anniversary emblem from this 2003 Harley Davidson tank, got replaced with my hand painted version, metallics where used in order to match the stock paint and graphics. (a cool detail they did on this model is the silver center band is printed with a pattern of tiny, tiny Harley Davidson text, fancy!)

The layout of these stripes was designed by the owner Ted who has the advertising company fart & flakt

I was impressed by the effectiveness of the design, it really suits the cars lines as well as giving a longer and lower look! not bad..

Finished painting Andreas’s mean machine today..

Had a great time at Live and Jive this Year, I had the new Pinstripe Plant II book on hand and made some on the spot pinstripes on a few cell phones. I also broke out my new waterbased paints and did some pinstripe “tattooing”!

Sadly I missed the music again, but there was plenty of life around the booth. It was cool to get to meet Korena missylu who had the booth next to me She dose the  handbags and is from Cali.. we are soon going to collaborate on a special line of pinstriped handbags!  Some other vendor friends where there including Sixty Souls chopper and skate shop and of course Lowbrow Mag.

Still working on it !!! Got most of the black shading and outlines done in the last session, but there is more to come.. namely Pinstripes and text.

So here are some details of some of the completed tattoo designs, the shading is hand brushed .. getting there…..

The tank was lookin’ a bit empty so we dolled it up a bit ….

The latest Belladonna Trackers bike is in the works., Up next black shades and outlines plus some heavy scroll striping.

Rad bike. its going to be out of control when finished!

I was invited to follow along and paint a Hot Rod for Motorbörsgaraget on the Wheels Magazine Boat. I went with a gold stripe treatment to match the engine. Its a nice looking rod built with a personal touch (not to mention the striping) and is now up for sale ! Contact motorborsgaraget if interested..

Mystic design and color theories from 1915 by the signwriting master Frank Atkinson served as a guide on this one. So each color ended up being blended up special (plus a little extra for the passenger side )
I am not sure if the colors are exactly the way they should be but it is pleasing to the eye. The red that he called for was called Tuscan red which I checked up on and it is the color of old Pennsylvania railroad trains! kinda cool, the rest of the colors are various shades of olive green and buff.
