Ladies and *******s, lemme introduce myself They call me PekkaWizzz here in Finland, age 46, Im pretty deep in this **** called Pinstriping, started doing it -84 and gone deeper ever since. When I got in to striping there was no other freehand striper in the country, so there was no mentors either. Had to learn it step by step from the books (hail Big Daddy Roth!). Nowdays I travel around Scandinavia with my Macks and 1-Shot and keep the family in ice creams. I have been honoured to meet some of the great Stripers around the world in different meetings in England, Scotland, USA, Japan, Germany and of course in Sweden which is THE great custom country in Europe. I think striping is a great way to unite creative and cool people, and that is the reason I have tried to spread the word by writing beginners guides and videos for pinstripers as well as organizing meetings like Stripe-O-Rama (10:th anniversary next year). We have a great community of stripers in Finland, they call themselves Arctic Pinheads, and do they have some of the coolest meetings on the planet. I love custom cars. Perhaps you have seen some pics of the 49 Pontiac Fastback which is under construction in these pages as well, check out Kartsas reports about it. We have a group of kustom kats here, organizing a meeting called Do-Dads Offbeat Weekend. This is my other disease Fifth time this year and keeps growing. I am happy call myself part of that group. Interests Oh of course, Pin ups! I have done quite a few pin up- girl paintings on cars and canvas. See ya in summer, A-bombers or somewhere else!
Welcome. I still have the pinstripe brush which I bought from you in the age of 19... You really need to post on Friday-art show! Oh, and DD rules, it's #1 event in Finland as we all know! Mika
Hi Kean, of course I remember the Pontiac - Kermaperse Kustom- my choice for the coolest ride in Yokohama 2004. ( Well, there was others too, but my taste leans heavily towards early 60's stuff). This year I can't make it to Mooneyes Show in Yokohama, but I remember the last years trip one of the greatest experiences in my life! - Pekka
