It's my pleasure/honor to announce my recent addition to Pinstriping and Kustom Graphics magazine as US contributing editor out of the UK...
My intention going in is to showcase the lesser knowns, those that haven't had any exposure in a magazine to date, there are alot of youse around, (forgive bad English, but I couldn't resist-lol)...
If this interests you, (see? I can spell it correct when I want to) Please contact me w/your information and if you wish, feel free to include a pic or two of your work, but don't go overboard there as the reality of it is, most pics aren't acceptable in their original format...what I'll do is set up what we need to perform this chore for you or at least inform you as to what will work and what won't...it's important, so please abide by these guidelines...
I'm looking forward to this endeavor and hope to help make it possible for many that can't, to get "ink"...
This magazine has some really great ideas for the future and at this moment, publishes a variety of formats; pinstriping, lettering, airbrushing, tattoos, graphic arts and many more, I intend to follow that lead and perform to the best of my abilities to ensure a quality publication geared for our industry...
In the future, I plan to create a nationwide tour to facilitate a way to get to you, those that can't make it to large events...bringing the mountain to you, so to speak...so as soon as that materializes, I'll publish my schedule for viewing and hope to see you then...that way I can work w/you, one on one, first hand...
Here's for a successful effort.....respectfully: Magoo

Congratulations, and well-done. It sounds like a good job needing to be done, and you're the right one to do it well, Frank!
(We've just taken in a 1910 Buick, which I'll stripe this week, after we've cleaned off the wax & polishes & gunk the owner drowned it in, and all the oil that the engine has splattered all over the chassis. It's a 2.2 litre 2-cylinder, opposed, engine, 16hp, and is in essentially original condition)

Interesting you mention tattoo art, It appears to me they have their own traditional styles, there might be a sharing of styles as the different mediums are exposed to each other.

Thanks all: it's been some time since last doing this type of work and to say I'm a little rusty would be an understatement, had forgot just how much work it is, lol, not that I'm allergic to work...besides, it's something I'm good at and totally enjoy, I think it's safe to say, as much as I love doing striping and all, this venture will keep me busy, which I wanted and needed for over three years now and to get confirmation on date of Scotty's demise makes it that more special...Alicia must be right, cause he flew through here yesterday and reassured me my path is correct and valid and he approves...thanks Lord...
