Since the days of Von Dutch, hot rod and motorcycle enthusiasts have used pinstripes both as artwork in its own right, and as a compliment to a flame or graphic paint job. Interest in pinstriping, both how-to and as an art form, continues to grow. The best way to learn something is from the person who does it all day long. Advanced Pinstripe Art presents the work of 12 well-known pinstripe artists. Each chapter presents a start-to-finish project done by one artist. These photo sequences take the viewer from the initial sketch to the finished design. Text explains the why of good pinstriping. Why use a particular brush, a certain paint, an unusual method. Quotes from the artists are plentiful. Advanced Pinstripe Art is designed to duplicate, as much as possible, the experience of spending a day learning first hand how to pinstripe from some of the best artists in the business.

People are as interesting in painting and customizing now, as they were when this material was first created, in the 1950s. Everyone wants to know how to do a flame job, or how to run a pair of pinstripes straight down the side of their car. In this book George Barris explains how he and brother Sam did their custom painting and early flame jobs in the 1950s. No one can tell this story as well as George Barris, a fine photographer and the man who built many of the cars shown in the book. This particular book, Volume 4, contains more than just the photos and words of George Barris. This volume contains first-person side-bars by legendary painters and builders like Dean Jeffries and Larry Watson, describing how they developed their talents and what it was like to customize cars in those days.

How Airbrushes Work is a comprehensive look at airbrush use, maintenance and repair. The book begins with a brief look at airbrush history, then moves to a discussion of the various airbrush types. Too many first-time airbrush users have trouble because they don’t know how to clean and maintain the airbrush. This new book from Wolfgang Publications explains how to disassemble, clean and repair all the major brands. Even the best airbrush in the world isn’t any good without a source of air. Steve discusses different compressor types and the advantages or disadvantages of each. Two chapters explain airbrush painting basics - from types of paint to trigger control, and the three basic strokes all painters need to know. Steve closes the book with a gallery of airbrush art, and an airbrush buyer’s guide to help readers choose wisely when they buy their first, or their fifth, airbrush.

How to Airbrush Pinups is a collection of ten sequences done by well-known and experienced airbrush artists. The human form, the human face, and skin tones, are three topics that beginning artists struggle to get right. And it is these three topics that make up much of this new book. Each of the ten photo sequences starts with the artist’s sketch and moves, step-by-step, to the finished panel. The chapters provide an opportunity for the reader to sit down and “talk” with the artist. These chat sessions include a discussion about not only the artists’ favorite airbrush, but how they learned their skills, who inspires them and how to avoid the typical beginner’s mistakes. The styles seen in How to Airbrush Pinups run the gamut from retro pinup and Vargas-style work of Edward Reed to modern stylized pinups of Tom Nguyen. With over 500 color images spread across 144 pages, How to Airbrush Pinups is an invaluable aid for anyone who wants to become proficient in painting pinups, nudes and portraits.
