Prepared to be blown away with the techniques Cory is sharing with the world. Cory Saint Clair has been considered one of the best automotive mural artists out there today. Cory shows you how to turn a blank white panel into a highly detailed masterpiece, with the use of some simple tools and techniques he spent years perfecting and developing. This is your chance to learn some of the techniques it has taken many artists years to discover. There are many ways to create amazing black & white portraits, but the way Cory Saint Clair teaches is quite unique and very effective.

Some Highlights Include:

Bio: Armed with only an airbrush, Cory Saint Clair is out to rewrite the book on automotive artwork. Cory Saint Clair flunked ninth grade art. Why? For not following the rules. Fifteen years later, not much has changed. The 34-year-old still isnt playing by the book, but ironically, today thats part of what makes him one of the premier airbrush artists in the industry. I would rather punch myself in the face than paint more flames and skulls, jokes Saint Clair, whos been trying to move away from what he feels is clichéd, instead implementing a fine-art approach to his work. Im tired of doing the evil stuff; I want to show that theres a whole other world to this, and that there are real artists in the airbrush game, he says. Aside from painting angels on a Lamborghini Gallardo, he is currently finishing a depiction of the Sistine Chapel on the headliner of his Dodge Magnum. For Saint Clair, it all started with a copy of Airbrush Action and an Iwata airbrush he received for his 12th birthday. Everything I learned was all self-taught, because I couldnt afford to go to an art school, he explains. I learned from magazines. Sometimes we didnt have enough money to get them, but my mom would always find a way to buy Airbrush Action, because she knew that was my only avenue. From the very beginning, Saint Clair was out to earn, and he quickly found a way to flip his passion for profit. Today Saint Clair works on some of the top builds in the nation, including much of Asantis fleet. A job by the man himself could cost you upwards of $150,000, but as Cory says, If you have money to spend on a Lamborghini, you can afford to paint it to set it apart. Its just paint. Not a bad finish for the kid who failed art.

Bio: Jeff “Styles” began striping in 1980 in Mesa, Arizona. He grew up watching his dad Don stripe and his curiosity got the best of him. So, his dad gave him a brush and some one- Shot paint. He began by striping his bicycle and anything else he could get his grubby little hands on.On the way home from school one day, he ran into the man who would become his mentor, Butch Tucker. Butch’r, as they called him,was and still is, a master pinstriper and artist, learning the trade of pinstriping from the king of pinstriping himself,Kenneth “Von Dutch” Howard. Butch’r took Jeff under his wing, teaching him everything he knew in the colorful world of pinstriping. Style’s passion for fine lines grew. He moved to Southern California a few years later and continued to stripe just about anything. He promoted his talent by pinstriping (for free) for the local body shops and car dealerships. Those businesses quickly realized how gifted Styles was and requested his pinstriping on a regular basis. Thus the life of “Styles Pinstriping” was born Although the simple straight line jobs were consistent, Styles knew the brush had endless possibilities. Picking up custom techniques from different local painters proved to be key in the next few years. Like most artists,Styles had an eye for one thing in particular and that was flames. His days of doodling flames on all his school books had paid off. He had mastered the art of flames. Not big gaudy, crab-claw flames but clean, sharp stretched out flames outlined with a hand pinstripe. People saw the flames Styles was capable of creating and the word spread quickly in the Hot Rod world.
