how i got started

I am a student in high school that is interested in almost any kind of art. I come from a family of many generations of body men. my grandpa is one of the greatest body men and old school custom painter around. And my dad also manages a body shop so I guess you could say its in my blood. I am currently in a auto body class at my local bosses so I can learn the new ways of the trade. I have Ben custom painting for a little over a year now and am learning new things every day. The first month after I got my airbrush I was already being asked to paint different things for people. I later found that if your airbrushing and pin striping that you can charge way more for any job. So i went to my grandpa and got right in to pin striping. Pin striping is one of my favorite art forms that requires allot of skill like a steady hand, a good eye, and time. The biggest down fall of this art is that people pick up a brush and try to be in business and that is almost imposable. So people end up getting mad at it and soon just quit. i have been doing it for six months and am just at the pint where I can start charging for my service. Any custom painting is hard and takes allot of time to perfect so take your time and have fun with it.
