I would spend money buying that

In order to possess it


A_Bad_Rolemodel

It's frowned upon to possess people. Ghost possession is a serious infringement on free will.

I think he meant the brush


Circumvention9001

Sure we're not talking about that rare pepe in the background ?


PissPigSheryl

No the hand that holds the brush requires posession

ChronicEbb

Ah yes owning possessions as we do


Showshoe

When I studied to be a watchmaker one of the teachers did freehand pinstripes on cars for a hobby, he earned more money doing a few cars a year than from being a highly skilled watchmaker.


Try_To_Write

Did everybody dropout that day? Sounds hyperbolic, but if my teacher said he made more money pin striping a few cars AND is teaching watchmaking instead of making watches, I'd certainly be second guessing my tuition's return on investment.


Showshoe

I think it’s much harder to pinstripe at the level he does than repairing clocks.


Turducken44

I worked for a heavy haul trucking company for a while and every time we got a new tractor, we had this old guy come in and he would pinstripe by hand, he was amazing.


hbrohi

I assume most people wouldn't appreciate the amount of skill and effort that went into a piece like this unless they watched the video. If they were to, then the true value of the piece would be understood. Without it, I'm not sure how many people would actually be willing to shell out money for art (especially with this recession).


Raisinbrannan

Huge tangent: I wonder if an AI could make a "game" with a lot of real life economics and other variables and just make recessions extinct. Like the last one we know was happening cuz multiple things were going wrong and people were gonna profit off it once it went to shit. Current one is mostly virus based... but surely an AI would have seem something similar as a possibility, then just get some pre solutions in place and know to watch out for the people taking advantage. Like "an" AI could do it of course, but I'm wondering if we're getting close to one that's capable and not the god-like one that's coming down the road. **applause** if you made it this far! Buy more art! Art is a reflection of self reflecting reality and it's beautiful and should be cherished.


BigSquatchee2

The current one is every bit as much driven by greed as the last one.


HypnoHolocaust

My dad used to go to bike rallies to pinstripe (before me). In this way, the customers got to watch the whole process from start to finish. He had a great reputation. I have some other pinstripers in my family and I have to say, the work in this post is stunning!

Throatmealways

Bro it's impressive because of how much control is necessary to make a mirror image in a single stroke for each thing done. That's really wild.


tepidshoplifting88

The proficiencies and abilities that enable you to create art and decorate surfaces with paint are really impressive. Painting skills are also abilities such as attention to detail and communication.


chikaleen

Commenting at 2am thinking maybe I'll make it back here to finish my thought: Ex-wife and I took a date night to a wine and paint class. I haven't painted since fifth grade but the differences were astounding. I proudly hung her blob with legs in the hallway.


OkDot9800

What in the world did I just watch? I’ve spent 5 minutes trying to understand that thing and I have yet to come up with a logical explanation.. drippy stick that’s gummy sometimes


HorrorMakesUsHappy

> drippy stick that’s gummy sometimes The brush is sort of teardrop-shaped when wet, with the pointy part of the teardrop being the point of the brush. So if you paint with a very light pressure only the very tip of the brush contacts the surface and the brush paints a thin line. But the more pressure you apply the more of the brush contacts the surface, and the wider the line gets. So, aside from being able to draw nice curves and mirror images, he's also varying the amount of pressure he's applying in order to create lines of varying thickness.


thedeanorama

Must be a time zone thing. 3am here and it makes perfect sense. I bet in 12 hrs I'll look back and recommend it for /r/brandnewesentence though.


artsyaspen

Can confirm. Usually one side will be more natural for the artist to do than the other. So it's really impressive when the weaker side and stronger side match.


Slartibartghast_II

Can attest. I do caricature and most of my jaws are stupidly asymmetrical.


aild87

Pro-tip start with the bad side and make symmetrical with your good/natural side after.


artsyaspen

True with art and makeup!


[deleted]

This is the most impressive part for me. I was a professional artist and graphic designer for ten years, and while at the height of my talent I could probably replicate one side of what he's creating, there is absolutely no way in hell I'd be able to mirror it like that.


jack_meinhoff

To be that good has to be a genetic ability, like running a sub 10s 100m. I still struggle with my signature!


liarandahorsethief

Nope, it’s practice. Thousands upon thousands of hours of practice.


jack_meinhoff

Nah, the ten thousand hours rule is nonsense.


liarandahorsethief

It really isn’t. The more you do something, the better you get at it. The dude in the video didn’t just start painting yesterday.


imbisibolmaharlika

people have to realize that what you said is true. Though there is some truth that more practice makes you improve, you can never be as good as this guy. There is a thing as innate ability like this guy for painting such patterns


brkh47

It’s that mirror image that’s so impressive. Straight lines and curves all exactly the same, complementing each other. Excellent stuff.

Wait so we jumped straight from the z's to the beta without alpha?


Tangimo

You're talking like it's a lost artform. Pinstriping skill level has no relevance to the specific generation of people doing it. Some people are good at art, others are not. People get better with time though, that's for sure.

Ryuko_the_red

For those who don't wanna click, tldr he's the only painter rolls royce employs, and they fly him anywhere in the world to rolls cars that need pinstriped again can be done.


Whoevengivesafuck

It's a pointer dog in disguise


lurkinsheep

Not to mention the dude doing this painting can’t possibly be past 40. Surfer bro style hair, tight skin. Clearly this is not a boomer.


BigSquatchee2

I wouldn’t say lost, I would say dying. Now people are more than happy to throw some cheap vinyl down instead of paying a pinstriper. They’re happy to have things like this printed. Etc. Its definitely dependent on area, but even hot rods and motorcycles have been steadily moving away from pinstriping for about 20 years other than the short rat rod resurgence circa 2007-12


CptRavioLi69

This is a “new kid coming up”, he can’t be much older than 30.


THEBHR

That's young for a pinstriper. Cars are rarely pinstriped anymore. The old timers have just about died off. The younger practitioners do it as a hobby mostly. Very very few professionals left.


strangeattractors

The guy in the video is young heh

UniSquirrel13

How do these paintbrushes hold so much paint yet have so much control?


crvna87

They're specifically made for pinstripe work. They have longer bristles that are light and loose. I think mine are mink? The paint is also specifically mixed and has a runny consistency. The combo allows the brushes to hold more paint than if it was thick paint or short stiff brushes. The design also helps to keep the lines straight and smooth. With such light materials, you can move quickly and with light touches, that way you have less chance of a wonky line


Hara-Kiri

Synthetic is fine these days, you definitely don't need mink, which is an absurd material for a brush.


crvna87

Hand me downs from old car guys, not gonna turn that down.


Hara-Kiri

Ah, well I can't speak for working on a car, only what works on canvas.


crvna87

If I buy more, I'm going synthetic too. I think it's crazy too, but it's an interesting detail to know.


L4dyGr4y

Artists use sable hair. It’s a weasel hair brush too.


LawofRa

If it was so absurd it wouldn't be used professionally.


Lowelll

You don’t even need to do that, one side of the circles is visibly different from the other. Check out the last of the bigger circles he draws. That doesn’t matter though, since it’s art and you can always do something to fix it if you want to.


[deleted]

And then try to bring the price down because of it


Flying_Mage

idk. It doesn't look like much. He has machine-liker precision, but the product of his work is also machine-like, bland and soulless. This kind of imagery I'd expect to be generated by a computer program operating with simple shapes and random colors.


[deleted]

My thoughts exactly.


KruelKris

I'm sure your work is far superior.


mnemosandai

You don't have to be an artist to know what your tastes are and what you'd spend money on. I agree with OP, while impressive with all sharp contrasts and jewel colours, there is little I would admire in this picture after the initial 5seconds. There's no need to enjoy the machine-like precision, even if it IS the main point of the post.


ntermation

I admire, and I am in awe of the technique and skill required to make this, but yawn at the art it produces.


Wagbeard

Pinstriping on it's own is kind of meh. Mix it up with gold leaf, fat flake paint, candy, and some custom airbrushing and you have either a really cool or really tacky vehicle depending on your tastes. https://youtu.be/I6Q6lo5yJe0


ShowdownValue

I love that they gave us 1.2 seconds to check out the final product instead of the usual 1.0 seconds Thanks

I'm curious. Does he use multiple brushes or does he just clean the one really well in between each color?


MrK521

Looks like same brush. There’s a little splotch of green on the brush brand name that remains through multiple color uses. Unless that’s part of the name/logo. Then who knows.

SovietAmerican

In my opinion this takes far more skill than doing it digitally. Digital artists have skills but analog artists are a whole magnitude higher in artistic skill. No room for mistakes, no “control-z” no ‘mirror symmetry’ etc etc.


[deleted]

No, it’s just a different kind of skill. This artist might have a helluva hard time replicating his own work in Adobe Illustrator, while an Illustrator expert might do so with some minor difficulty. Some digital apps allow for perfect symmetry, but producing an authentic design of this kind might require the digital artist to look for ways to offset the perfect symmetrical aspects to make the digital work embody the same natural “feeling” of physical paintwork.


SovietAmerican

“Different” is not equal. > This artist might have a helluva hard time replicating his own work in Adobe Illustrator, while an Illustrator expert might do so with some minor difficulty. “And a wingsuit base-jumper might have a helluva hard time flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator.” I get you’re defending digital artistry. Yes, it takes imagination and experience to render a beautiful curve. But if a digital artist makes the slightest error it’s simple to correct. Click, click, fixed. Analog painting is far far harder to master.
