Nightmare Before Christmas cup

I decided to paint a cup for a Christmas present for my daughter. She is a big nightmare fan so I had a theme. Using One Shot paint I painted the design on the mug. For those that are new to One Shot paint, when you paint on ceramic you must keep the cup away from soaking in hot water. This will take all the paint away. I learned the hard way.

 

Wet on Wet Pinstriping

I thought I would try a little wet on wet Pinstriping. I found a few good YouTube videos describing the process and wanted to pull out the airbrush and the oneshot paint together.

I dusted off my old paashe VLs for this project. I had not touched these airbrushes since my painting TShirt days at Exhibitions more than 22 years ago.

I wiped them off and the Paashes worked like a charm.

I started by painting orange flames with a brush. When complete I then mixed hardener, oneshot paint and reducer so that it flowed through the airbrush.

I airbrushed the red to create the fades and walked away. Do not worry about overspray. When the work is dry this will easily wipe off.

When completely dry I took a soft rag, wet it with windex and whipped away the overspray. The wet on wet holds the paint and give a great old school effect and the limitations are with your imagination.

Final step was to stripe using Kafka #3 short brush to outline the flames. This is a quick and easy way to create cool effects with Oneshot paint.

 

Pinstriping on Skate Deck

Spent the morning adding more pinstripes on my longboard. I put red stripes on yesterday and followed up with white. Working on this surface is really easy compared to helmets and rounded surfaces.

I stripped the board down, cleaned off the surface with cleaner and stripped away. The grey and the logo was stock paint on the Landyaughtz longboard. The Pinstriping added a lot of old school character.

Contact me if you are looking to get your ride stripped.

 

Pinstriping Projects

It's been a while since I picked up my striping brushes in my quest to try and master the art, or at least feel confident in striping. I have been practicing on pretty much anything that moves. I spent a lot of time practicing on panels but found that striping on objects like helmets, tanks and round objects was a whole other animal.

Not only did you have to worry about consistency of your line but you have to deal with having your brush follow the curve without skipping. Not as easy as it sounds.

I stripped an old laptop which was actually one of my first attempts at true fire. Using white I stripped basic lines to create this design. This was very similar to striping on panels.

 

 

I wanted to try painting images with One Shot paint. I normally airbrush all my work but was interested in seeing If I could create custom work using this technique. Using white one shot I painted the skull and then outlined with black. Then I added some stripes.

I am normally used to airbrush work with clearcoat to protect but this takes time. I can see me using this technique for quick projects but at the same time give the customer a custom look without the heavy expense associated with full airbrush work.
