I remember seeing the animated striping on the PT commercials and wondering who was responsible, and who did it first (remember that Ryan). Welcome, nice work! Cant have too many stripers!
Welcome Sam. I recently went back to school to study art, after making human sculptures (kids) for the past 15 years. And while I intend to teach art to make my living, I have really been enjoying my time spent sculpting. For my own fulfilment, I will continue exploring this. I really enjoyed your sculptures, especially no.126 and no.238. Your body of work is a cool testament to the impact of a life's work. Thanks for sharing. Mark

Welcome Sam! good to see more great people coming on to the board lately. Damn we are a bunch of lucky people to have these guys here.
That's right, you can forget about all the rock stars, skateboard knuckleheads and hot rod wannabes. Sam is the REAL deal. I had the pleasure of interviewing Sam and his wife for an article in the Canadian Rodder magazine and believe me, he is a more than a legend. He may not be God but he sure as hell is one of the apostles! He has forgotten more than most guys know.
I just got off the phone with sam and he told me to go ahead and put some pics up off his site. He will e mail me more of his car to put up later. Plus any pinstripers going to detroit autorama please send me a pm,Ive got some info it will also be posted on some of the other auto art and pinstriper boards in a bit
just saw some striping by you the other day...the mrs. and i were going into the grocery store and saw a truck that you had striped...just had outlines of flames...looked good. welcome to the hamb....
I saw an article in a magazine about your model cars, since them I haven't built one with an engine. Welcome to the HAMB!
WELCOME SAM! I just touched up a bunch of huge rock chips in the striping on the hood of a purple chopped Merc that you did years ago. NICE WORK!!!
