Wow! Thats really good looking work for a first time with no striping paint and a Kafka style brush (very hard to work with). I have a brush like that, Im afraid to use it though...

Just keep practicing! And if you feel up to it, I can probably get some Oneshot and ship it to you. If you covered it. I could actually get you all the supplies you need. Let me know if your interested.

And keep at it!

Tnx Ace,
did´nt really know that my brush was called a "Kafka"-style brush But it´s about the only brush I could find up here and damn, it was´nt cheap either. I recently found a store that carry Mack brushes and 1-shot paint, but it´s on the other side of the country and the prices seem pretty high... How much is one jar/can/whatever of 1-shot over there? Also, don´t you think shipping would be pretty expensive considering the weight of the whole package?

[KustmAce]

Prices depend on the color usually, however the main colors, black, white, yellow, red are all about 12 US dollars or so for the half pint. Metallic colors are about 16 US dollars for the 1/4 pint. Mack brushes should be about 12 US dollars each too.

And ya, shipping wouldnt be cheap, but to get One Shot it'd be worth it. I would suggest just going to that store. The paint pays for itself easily in one job anyway. My 1/2 pint cans last over a year each. So its not like the paint kills you.

Fredde where did you finde Mark brushes? In which town? I ordered a pencil at a local store.. but i did not pick it up afther that... it looked like something the cat had been pulling in.

I bought it in an artist shop here in stockholm, I think the store is called "Kreatima" and it´s on Sveav. in sthlm

Hey guys if your still looking for brushes, I highly recommend a guy named Kieth out of New York. He runs a place called the Kustom Kulture Gallery. Helluva guy. Here's his inventory and prices...



Give him a call to order. Dunno what the international system is but here's his number 516-623-5665.

Or if you dont want to go through him I can order them and them them to myself and forward them to you.

Lemme know

Oh, and a new panel...



Kind of shows the blue a bit better

[DukeMan]

Sweet panel Tim, you really have a good eye for proportions. What kind of brush would you suggest is best for lettering, "autographs" and signatures? Swirly Q? Lettering quills? Alan Johnson Signature brush?

[KustmAce]

A lot of guys use the Virus. I use some crap brushes I got at the local art supply store.
