Welcome from up the road in Green Bay. There are several stripers on the board, myself included although I'm on the early end of the learning curve. Do a search for pinstriping and you'll find some good reads. Also, here's a few websites that may get the 1-Shot flowing:

Some of the artists on those pages are members here, I'll let them introduce themselves if they wish. Don't forget to check out the Friday Art Show!
