the world has lost a true artist , and i can tell you as an airbrush artist of 20+ years, this is an art that has been around longer than airbrush and is 10 times harder to master, as this master of the art just proved, you just have to try it yourself to see what is up... my respects to the late james crawford ..a true master at his craft
First of all I am sorry for your loss. James does some BEAUTIFUL work. I was wondering what that brush is that he is using first with the long thin handle. And I am a decent airbrush artist (not pro) and I've just bought my first pinstripe brush. Pinstriping is at least as challenging as airbrushing for me. that could just be because of my previous art background. Any way, mad props and God Bless.
@joshysquishysquashy I think its an X-Calaber brand, or a Sword Brand.. Not really sure, but those are the most popular pinstripe brushs.. Thanks PEte
@joshysquishysquashy I believe it is a strolling brush, long and thin. The difference in shape allows it to make nice round line as x-caliber and other regular striping brushes are short handled.
air brushing isnt harder but this is, try making a line or a curve with one of these brushs takes a LOT of practice to mastr this art. if learn to do this you will make a lot of new friends
i was only admiring his skill and wondering how he could letter that small without glasses (at his age) as im way younger than him and now in the process of getting reading glasses to wear when i paint my signs.
best wishes to his family and all those who knew him
That isn't the point I was trying to get across,,, The point I was making is that Pinstriping is more suttle and elegant to watch being done, and to look at when the job is finished... Ofcoarse airbrushing is 10 times harder, and yes you can do alot more with it. BUT--alot of airbrushing that you see is GAUDY and Suffacating to look at. It's over painted.... Thats what I was trying to say. Thanks Pete
jesus, that guy in the back is retarded. i am a pinstripe and airbrush artist. i enjoy pinstriping more than airbrushing but how can you not appreciate a good airbrush job. its a whole different medium. he talks about how airbrushing is gotti but then wants to know about doing a rainbow pinstripe. if that was me striping i would tell him to shut the fuck up and let me paint.
Dont know what was more annoying...THE MUSIC,THE 1954 TELEPHONE RINGING or THE DOUCHEBAG TALKING NON-STOP.
& to CRAWFORD bad ass skills with that script brush. Checkout my video of my friend EDDIE "E.T." TORRES doing some scroll work with a MACK 000 brush...Even did the lettering with the MACK 000
Freaking awesome. Gotta love it. Howdy from Temple btw. Love the videos.

There's nothing like old school pinstriping... the design always catches people's attention and never goes out of style.
