Many years ago, I created a Jackson NAMM guitar that I named “One Night In Cairo”. The idea behind the artwork was a playful look at a mummy coming to life within a tomb somewhere in Egypt. It was a very popular design and over the years I have been asked to create several variations on the theme. That was the case with this month's feature. My customer had been stationed in Egypt for some time and wanted me to design the next scene in the “Cairo” series for him. FOCUS ON THE CONCEPT and DON'T BE AFRAID TO CHANGE YOUR MIND Whenever I create straight from my imagination, I like to work out my ideas digitally, using my iPad and the Procreate app. By simply importing an image of the canvas…

Tell the truth it's the best thing to happen as it got me out of the rat race and let me follow my dream into art. I completed my degree in fine and applied art (ceramics) in 2012 and since then been plugging away honing my skills and getting an online presence. For a few years before the degree, I started airbrushing and custom paint, so I now use that within my monster and tiki mugs. Before the plague I would try and attend a show every summer filling my old Winnebago with ceramic…

Yooo, it's Messenger with Orion Automotive Finishes! We are proud to announce that we are launching our Gravitational Pull urethane pinstriping paint! This is a true urethane, with all of the advantages a urethane gives you, like being able to clear coat without any possible issues as well as laying much flatter. It also has a similar pull and coverage that you find in enamel pinstriping paints. We have spent months testing, formulating, and testing some more, and are very happy with the product. I also personally sent samples to various pinstripers in the industry for them to test, and so far all the results have been unanimously positive. Another big factor for us was the packaging, we wanted something that would hold up, but was also convenient. After trying a few different cans…

STEVE CHASZEYKA has been pinstriping for more than 50 years and has gained a worldwide reputation. A charter member of the PINSTRIPING HALL OF FAME, he has pioneered many new looks in pinstriping and has taught many newcomers to perfect their own style through both group and 1-2-1 classes as well as his popular Wizard Pinstriping DVD tutorials and signature brushes. The aim of this column is to inspire pinstripers of all levels in their use of colour and design. This project is one of my favorites. I love painting with an artist's brush and adding scroll style pinstriping to those pictures. I will be painting a dragon doing battle with an eagle using a bit of an abstract method. Painterly is the operative word here. Loose styling allows for creativity…
