and white paint, laying down the lines and blocking areas in This gives me a good base to build the colours up STEP I start off by mounting the jacket on a suitable board to hold the required shape and giving it a good clean with leather cleaner The next stage is to lightly sketch the design onto the jacket, for dark surfaces like this jacket I find chalk or a white watercolour pencil a good tool for this process 76 l P&KG Apr/May 19 STEP BY STEP STEP 5,6 & Next I start to block the colours in and begin to build up the simple definition of the image STEP & I then start work on bringing all the detail out, getting the skin tones right, shading, contrast, sharpening the image STEP BY STEP 10 STEP 10 At this stage I’m putting in highlights, doing final adjustments and making sure everything is how I want it 11 STEP 11&12 Once I’m happy with the overall image I then use a leather top coat finisher which is like a clearcoat for leather to protect the work and that’s it done Thank you for reading John Silverfox Hayes 12 78 l P&KG Apr/May 19 FEATUREDARTIST AKA: Blue Kangaroo Entertainment Experience: years Location: Cambridgeshire, UK Speciality: Body Paint Instagram: @bluekangarooentertainment Facebook: bluekangarooevents Kellie D riscoll Becoming a face and body artist was a complete accident - I first started face painting about years ago just to help out at our local school during fundraiser events, and always enjoyed it After the birth of our 7th child I had to find work that was flexible enough to work around our large family and I thought I’d set up my own face painting business, so Blue Kangaroo Entertainment was born in April 2016 Later that summer I heard about a body painting competition at The Living Art Show and figured I’d give it a go - and I have to say I’ve never looked back The body paint bug bit me instantly and I just fell in love with this transient art form, with the people involved and the creative energies they had were infectious! I soon entered my second competition and was overwhelmed by being placed 2nd in a pairs paint with the fabulous Miss Kate Monroe The theme for this particular competition is released on the morning and, with only an hour to plan your ideas, it’s so completely out of my own comfort zone where I usually have to plan every detail in advance It’s good to challenge yourself and grow your abilities by doing something new, and that’s another thing I love so much about body painting I’ve now been placed 2nd in two more individual competitions and am looking forward to chasing that elusive 1st place next year The paint community are an incredibly supportive and inspiring lot, and I consider myself so lucky to be a part of it - for anyone who is out there thinking ‘I’d like to try that’ then my advice is GO FOR IT! Model : Maretta Vergette Photographer : Stephanie Stephens @ Believe photography 80 l P&KG Apr/May 19 FEATUREDARTIST CAN YOU TELL US A BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR ARTWORK PROCESS? When I’m planning a body paint there is always that magic moment when something fires my imagination - whether an element of a pattern or an image, or theme in the case of competitions, or a paint by someone else that inspires me I tend to draw out design compositions on paper first so I can fiddle about and see what works best where - I am a bit of a control freak and am so envious of other painters who seem to pull incredible designs out of thin air, as I have to plan every little detail WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT ? My favourite product might come as a bit of a surprise but its good old Snazaroo face paint I use it all the time for body painting as it is so easy to blend and gives me a good base coat to work on Sure the colors aren’t as pigmented as other brands but that’s another good thing about Snaz, it easily mixes into other paints as well I find that both the black and the white flake off very easily so I use Diamond FX or Superstar, both of which are reasonably priced and have great coverage My other go-to product that I really could not live without is Mehron metallic powders which I use with the mixing liquid for highlights and details DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE PIECE OF WORK? Models : Cat Letchford As for choosing a favourite paint - that’s a toughie My Galaxy paint was my first award winning piece so that holds a special place for me, as does my Full English Breakfast which earned my first solo award I look back at each design and remember developing it, creating props etc and then finally the fun of bringing it to life, and honestly they all show how I am growing in this art form so its impossible to choose just one when they all mean so much “THE BODY PAINT BUG BIT ME INSTANTLY AND I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS TRANSIENT ART FORM.” Model : Kristine Katie www.pandkg.com l 81 WORLDWIDE STOCKISTS ADVERTISERS INDEX AUSTRIA Airbrush Magazine 54 Spritzwerk | Heimschuh www.spritzwerk.at Andrew Mack Brush Co Bad Ass Stencils 79 Cartoons Magazine 40 Toswos | Ronse www.toswos.be Coast Airbrush 20, 44 CANADA Createx Colors 47 Custom Paints Limited OSB Available at selected stores email kustom@pandkg.com to find your nearest Atlantic News | Halifax, Nova Scotia Da Vinci 13 Everything Airbrush 63 FBS Tapes DENMARK Fish Eye Filter 51 Airbrush-shop.dk | Storvorde 9280 www.airbrush-shop.dk Flake King 36, 37 Georg Petzoldt’s 14 Gerald Mendez Art Studio 59 Gold Leaf Supplies 14 Harder & Steenbeck 66 Hugo Mac Art 59 Kustom Kulture Blast Off 28 Learn to Airbrush TV 70 One Shot ProAir 75 Pinstriping UK PKG Magazine 14 Rhythm Riot! 24 SharpenAir 63 Sparmax ISF Tamco Paint 18, 19 Trulers 40 Vintage Pinstripe 13 BELGIUM GERMANY Georg Petzoldt | Hagen 58089 www.georg-petzoldt.de JahPix Kustom Art & Tattoo Gallery Elpersbüttel 25704 www.jahpix.de Ruhr Rod | Meisenweg 17 www.ruhr-rod.com SWITZERLAND Custom Parts & Wear | Mellingen 5507 www.c-pw.ch UNITED KINGDOM Pinstriping UK | London www.handover.co.uk The Magazine Man | Stoke-On-Trent www.themagazineman.co.uk American Automags | Cheshire www.americanautomags.com USA Available at over 200 Barnes & Noble stores Main agent & subscription partner Coast Airbrush | Anaheim www.coastairbrush.com Dick Blick Art Stores www.dickblick.com ION Graphics Inc | Alamosa www.iongraphix.ca Quimby’s Bookstore | Chicago www.quimbys.com Now Available on Wherever you are in the world, you can keep up to date with all the latest in the world of Kustom Kulture: news, reviews, talented artists, airbrush how-to’s, tattoo, body art and much more Visit readly.com or download the app To become a dealer for Pinstriping and Kustom Graphics Magazine contact Sophie: Email: kustom@pandkg.com Tel: (+44) 116 281 0009 82 l P&KG Apr/May 19 h t y a M : e l a On S BUY OR SUBSCRIBE AT WWW.PANDKG.COM p g l ... courses, updates, the latest products and anything else awesomely kustom Send your submissions to: Studio@pandkg.com or post to: Pinstriping and Kustom Graphics Magazine, Unit 35 Westley Grange... hottiesvintage@gmail.com www.pandkg.com l 13 14 l P&KG Feb/Mar 19 PINSTRIPING STEP BY STEP Steve has been pinstriping for more than 50 years and has gained a worldwide reputation A charter member of the PINSTRIPING. .. many new looks in pinstriping and has taught many newcomers to perfect their own style through both group and 1-2-1 classes as well as his popular Wizard Pinstriping DVD tutorials and signature brushes
