~Hiya~, the name's Gump. Yes, there is a kids corner, but I figured that the adults hang out here, and that they could get their kids to reply here. Anyways, I'm 14, live in North Haverhill, NH, and love pinstriping. I don't do too much of pinstriping in paint, but I do sketch a LOT of designs. Plz reply. There's not too many subjects that teenagers can reply to with adults. Am I right, or am I right? Right!
O yea, I can't break dance too much myself, but me and my pals up here do a lot of cool tricks. 8)
At 14, you aren't quite a kid anymore. Well on your way to adult status. You can learn a great deal on the BB if you are willing to learn and ask questions.
Drawing pinstripe designs is great. Create your own unique style and then start pouncing patterns with these designs you do, then grab a brush and practice painted pinstriping from your designs. Practice, Practice, Practice.

Hey Gump, that is SO COOL that you're learning/doing this stuff at your age.
Some people are drifters that don't do anything with themselves 'till MUCH later. Ask me how I know. You're in an enviable position.
There is a difference between a job and a career. You keep at it, and you won't have to do that burger flippin' nonsense.

Pam, that's a good idea with the pouce skills. My dad said that he would help me out with that.
O and, thanks for being glad that i'm intrested in this trade. I bet most "teens" my age just think that people paint signs, cars, etc. for cash. I think they do it for that, but, not JUST that, but also for fun. The more meets that artists go to, the more talented they get, and the more skills they will learn to use for their customers. I think i typed that wrong, o well.
By the way, I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE MOUNTAIN BIKING. I go biking to the store during the summer almost EVERY day, and on Wednesdays, i go biking from my school-> Kinder Forest and back to school (it's about 12 miles). It is a great work out for my legs, and i've lost a lot of weight during the eigth grade.
Sorry to get off subject. I want to pinstripe my bike, so that i can show it off to my pals on Wednesdays. But, i don't want to try to paint it several times to get it correct. Soooooooo, i'm going to practice first... then paint my bike...hahaha.
