Here we go.

Name: Jesper Bram
Location: Denmark
Years of striping: 3

I run a part time pinstriping shop in Denmark. Been working as graphic designer since the mid nineties. Looking for all the striping work I can muster. I'm mostly into traditional style simple striping, long lines, and rat fink-60's-surfer-style illustrations.

I've learned what I know from Herb Martinez, Kris PUK, and practice. I'm always ready to learn, improve, and share what ever knowledge I might possess.

Hmm... just noticed this needs to be updated. My pinstriping shop is full time now, and has been so since summer 2009. Also I've been taking classes since then with Pekka Wizz, Craig Fraser, and Steve Vandemon. These days I learn mostly by hanging with more experienced pintripers. You should never stop learning.

Well, I like to built bikes and cars, choppers, bobbers, hot rods, rat rods, anything with wheels.
I am building my third Harley now and I try to do ALL the work myself, even painting and striping. This I haven't done before, so I take a close look at every stripe I come across. Spending hours on the net to look at those nice pics.
Jesper talks about Rat Fink, a good friend of mine has done a Rockin' Fink on the back of my double bass, it looks great! But before I reach that stadium I have to learn, learn, learn......and look!
So I hope to find more tips here to get me started.

There are far more than you think and Pinstriping & Kustom Graphics Magazine needs to know about as many as possible as we are looking for more stripers to feature in the mgaazine. Also we have the first major UK panel Jam taking place 4/5 September in UK check out www.kustomkultureblastoff.com
