Paint Me A Line / Pinstriping Hood Art

Von Dutch, Dean Jeffries, 'Big Daddy' Roth among many others became "automotive tattooers" of the 50's. Armed with nothing more than tins of "1 Shot" enamel, thinner, some oil, a squirrel hair brush and a steady hand, they became artists that are now known the world over.

Today with so much art being computer generated, it may be worth a look at some of the current hand drawn art done by the young guns. These shots of "Hood Art" were taken at this years Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend. This was such a bitchin' event...we're heading back.
