This weekend at the World of Wheels in Milwaukee at the Pinstripe Legends display there will be a series of automotive art auctions conducted to raise funds for the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Last year the Pinstripe Legends raised $41,000 for the kids. This is a Chicago style sign kit designed and hand-built by noted Chicago sign designer Ken Millar. I bought the kit in the late ‘80’s but never “moved-into” it. I am honored to donate this kit to be auctioned off on Saturday night. Chicago-area pinstripers were invited to add some lines during the past year and each artist used the same 000 Mack that is included with the kit and each signed the kit in the same color he/she used to stripe. The artists represented span over 50 years. The artists who donated their talent: Tom Kelly (IL) Bob Behounek Joel Peters (Peter Pan of Chicago*) Pat Finley Tom Evans Bill Jarvis (Jive) Ken Sowinski (S***s) Kacy Banks (PinUp) (pinstripingbykc*) Tim Kasper Dave Jeffrey (Dave the Letterman) Ray Drea Dan Colyer Chris Berngen (Chris50*) Jim Ross Larry Hansen (oldbobsign*) Jim Brandolino (Brando) Greg Widaman Greg Widaman, Jr. Jeff Williams Larry Grobe (VooDooLarry) *denotes HAMBer If you're going to the show, be sure to stop by the Pinstripe Legends display at noon on Saturday for a HAMB Meet & Greet and check out all the art, there are some incredible pieces up for auction.
Wish I could make it Larry, should be a great show! You should show a picture with the door up, that is a very cool box...see ya in March!
