Default ROT Rally Pinstripes

My brother and I went to the Republic of Texas Biker Rally in Austin, TX this weekend and I found me a pinstriper, Ken Smith from Ft. Worth, TX had a booth there and I liked his "style" of work so I turned him loose. He was gonna do red/cream stripes but I just happened to walk up after he had finished the red and was waiting for it to dry before adding the cream. I told him to leave it like it was because it couldn't have looked better to me. Here's a few pics.

Thats sweet, the creme would've treally made it pop. I let my stripe guy do whatever he wants, but he is as much an artist as a striper

This guy showed me some of his work and I believe he might be an artist too. I guess I didn't really want it to "pop" because, although it sounded good when we talked about the cream, I was just afraid if he did it that it would over-do it. Does that make sense? Anyhow, I couldn't be happier. Thanks for the comment too!!
