A friend of mine in high school's brother was a pinstriper in San Diego starting in the '50s. I got to be friends with him and it just kind of went from there. On top of that attending Tony's brush bashes in the desert exposed me to a lot of talented pinstripers that I could just pick their brains.
Jack Williams inspired some of my style otherwise I think I'm just a lot of old school pinstriping. I pinstriped a casket for a friend.
Most memorable project: A casket I did for a friend that had passed away. Probably meant the most to me.
Advice for beginners: Don't learn pinstriping from YouTube, find somebody in your area talk to them and see if they will pass knowledge to you.
