This is my story....well, I'm a natural born artist. As far back as I can remember, even just fragments of a memory was when I was about 5 years old sitting down next to my grandma in the kitchen drawing. All through out my life I wanted to be an artist, but once I got to high school and figured out everything was done with computers now(no need for a natural artist talent) I was discouraged and never persued anything in the field of art. Once I got more involved in the lifestyle of building lowriders(besides lowrider bikes) I came to appreciate the art of pinstriping. I got hooked once I was having some scrolling done to my wife's car by Danny D(D & D Designs). It wasn't till a year later after I returned to Danny D for some more work on my wife's car that I realized this is what i wanted to do. I knew it was something that would or should come to me naturally....wrong!! It is a art that requires many hours of practice and hard work....and I still am learning. I started off with scrolling, progressed somewhat, and to my luck, Danny D was willing to take on a apprentice(I am still learning)so I jumped on it. Although lately I haven't had a chance to return to his shop for more knowledge because of my newborn, I still look at his work and many others to study and pick apart and learn. When I see fellow newbies (JUGZ from IA) work, I see I still need to put in a lot more work to improve. I have done a few projects, and in here you will see what my creations look like. Im sure you will be able to see the difference in the style change....more than after being around Danny D I learned to give the car more of a character rather than just throwing lines on....Enjoy!
