[redanner]

Purp you are becoming a pin stripping cadet!! Although stripping is a very good way of lining your pockets with the green stuff at car shows!!! Nice work!

[ABD]

Oooooo Nice!....I really dig all of the pics you show us..As usual one always stands out as my fav of the bunch.this time it's the last pic...never know why, Just what catches my peepers the most..hahaha........great Pins Purp!!!..Thanks for showin us!!

[Cowboy]

Good show Purp, lovem all but I,m with dell the last one is my favorite, Dont know why either.

[work it]

I LOVE pinstripping! It's something I've wanted to learn for some time now. Thanks for sharing purp.

[Whit]

You're pullin some good lines there,,,
not to worry about what YOU see as
not being right,,, this is handwork,,,
it's the lil things that separate it from
a machine,,, makin it unique !!!
Lookin Good,,, Lookin Good !!!

[purplemyth]

Thanks guys!
i'm hoping to get a few panels done up, I need to raise some $ for my addiction , need more colors! LOL!!!

Well said Whit!!...While I try not to use it as an excuse, Those "Human" spots, lines, mishaps, whatever..Is what it's all about I think..With the techo these days anyone can buy a mass produced masterpiece.Just aint got no soul in em though..They'll never equal our lil creations IMO..:)

[sharonsstudio]

OOHH Wow Purp look at all the mistakes.:jump: JUST KIDDING>>I don't see anything wrong I see alot of talent.. remember we're our own worst critics..
Keep up the great work

[Memas]

carlene these are simply fabuntastic!!!! great great talent!!!!

[jason prouty]

nice work! you're totally getting better n better, stuff looks clean

[weelz]

those are really cool, love the last one

[Full Blast]

Wow really cool stuff! striping drive me nuts though half the time I cant see what a design represents, drives me up a wall! I love the VW stuff though for once it just jumped and said SEE! So great stuff. makes me wonder how Ill learn to do it when the time comes.
Thanks fer postin!
Rob

[purplemyth]

thanks folks!
ya'll are like my lil motivators~ keeps me going :D

Rob, (hmm my pushy freind's name is Rob too lol ) wonder how you'll learn? dip a brush and do the strokes and it'll be easy!
As for any represnting to a 'thing', they really don't have one, unless you want to make them into a thing, . I've seen butterflies, birds, and lots of tikis! It's just getting the design to flow, to look pretty, balanced. To just look good! The panels are just drawings make to challenge and to practice, but the pins on things, like the car, are to just enhance the main thing, the car.
I'm just having fun! :wavey:

like mikey said~' just try it, you'll like it ' :rofl:

ya know, that snow fallin on them pics looks kinda purty~ :love:

[Jeroen - CDM]

Looks awsome!! But that snowboard....does'nt the paint come off, then ya slide down the mountain a few times?? (it's has the 'broken' look....) but i think after a few slides the effect will be natural whehe lol

Great work man!!!

[purplemyth]

does'nt the paint come off,
the kid is only 11 and will probbly scrape it off after a few attemps. The dad prepped the base pretty good and cleared it, my stripes are on top. That's why we didn't get too carried away with it~
but he loves it!

[redanner]

Those are just exquisite!

[purplemyth]

Holy catfish! These are amazing. These are all fantastic but the first pic in your last post is my fave. You sure are good at symmetry

[Cowboy]

Awesome works Purp, You are Truly a Natural , As good of Stripes & Design,s as I,ve ever seen. Good show.

[weelz]

wow purp. you have been a buissy bugger lol. lovin those close lines and the little models

[Commando]

I finally realized why 90% of pinstripers are old.

Because it takes you that long to get good at it.

You guy's work is amazing. Pinstriping is seriously an amazing skill....

[purplemyth]

I'm not too old, and didn't start this til almost a year ago. The old ones you see (no offense to them at all ) are the ones who have made a name for themselves by doing the some of the best work which only inspires us 'younguns' to attempt it anyways! And most of them started back when they were younger. Guess they knew what they wanted to do back then~
(wish I could figure that out, cuz I STILL don't know ) lol

I hope I am still doing it when I do get old-er, just cuz it's fun.
