New Logo for Von Hot Rod

Just finished up the first renderings of Von Hot Rod’s logo. Still need to take it into Illustrator and do finals. Of course he’s known for his World Class pinstriping but there’s more to him than just laying down sweet stripes, he also has a line of custom jewelry, sunglasses and high heel shoes for the ladies..You can find him at hot rod shows across the country or on Facebook or Instagram and Twitter fans can find him @vonhotrod

The Lost Web Series

This isn’t your retired folks in a Winnebago. Burning Miles with Chris is on a mission to discover America, even if it means driving countless miles over the most God forsaken roads in North America. It’s a wild trip across America in a vintage bus as Chris meets the craziest people you can imagine. He’ll travel to Burning Man, The Salton Sea, Venice Beach…you name it and Burning Miles will go there. If you have ever wanted to take to the open road, join us for the Ultimate Road Trip.

While on the road I lost contact with Chris and this series ended abruptly. A disappearance unexplained. If you see this man while roaming America, tell him I want my camera back.

Depth of Speed – Andy the Pinstriper

Depth of Speed takes us to pinstriping shop of Andy Kawahara. Known succinctly as Andy’s Pinstriping, his craft is a true unification of art and automotive. Josh Clason speaks with Andy regarding why he loves pinstriping and how the old crowd has embraced the artform. While most will unanimously agree, the art of pinstriping much like sign painting is a dying breed due to the vinyl industry but with that comes glimmers of hope.

Juan has been doing automotive pinstriping over 11 years now in the beautiful state of AZ. Juan says: “I’m very passionate in this art form, .. I specialize in scroll pinstriping and pictorial art. Currently, I am in a mad pursuit in the field of airbrushing “sure is a whole new world!!” . I have been blessed in these past few years to have met many great artists in the Kustom Kulture World.

I had the opportunity to swing by TBC Hot Rods and Bikes in Fayetteville, NC and check out the shop. Every month the guys at the shop pool their funds together to bring in a band, food, and drinks for “Garage Night”. It is something that really gives back to the automotive community in Fayetteville which is what it is all about. Tim Bradham is one of the nicest people you will meet and is a master fabricator. He creates a lot of things out of raw materials and it is amazing to see something start from nothing.
