Introducing the Brush Off Parties that pinstripers Phill Whetstone, Ron Foreman, Dennis Jones, Tim McColgan and “Hot Dog” Finlan have held every December in Southern California for the past 26 years, representing the elite level of Western US artists in automotive custom painting today. For twenty years I photographed the artwork and produced articles about the parties for AutoArt magazine. Now available in this book, these 110 pages feature studio-grade images of the Brush Off artwork of over 100 custom auto artists, pinstripers and sign artists in a large-format, hard cover, gallery-style presentation.

The Brush Off 25 Anniversary Celebration Book features the artwork submitted for the Brush Off Panel Exchange over the past 16 years. Each year the artists prepare special custom painted metal panels, skateboard decks and other items to be exchanged with their fellow “brothers of the brush" in a private party setting at a founder’s SoCal pinstriping shop. The book is an exceptional historic resource for stripers and custom paint enthusiasts everywhere.
