Korero Books

Since Pinstripe Planet's 2006 publication, the pinstripe scene has grown immensely, and here's the record of the scene's growth for new and old aficionados. The world’s best pinstripe masters in the U.S., Japan, UK, Europe, and Australia have new work to show. Significant new artists have emerged on the scene since the last edition, and they are showcased here as well. Not only are the works brilliantly photographed, the book also explains how artists first found inspiration, how they work, and where their influence can be seen. Cutting-edge art galleries are now beginning to treat pinstriping as worthy of recognition by serious collectors. This book is part of that trend—essential for anyone into the Kustom car and culture scene, for existing pinstripers looking for new sources of inspiration, and for new aficionados of one of the most visually exciting aspects of the counterculture.

Featuring artists from all corners of the globe working in oil, digital, sculpture, engraving, porcelain, taxidermy and photography. Among the art featured are the digital renderings of Natalie Shau, the hauntingly disturbed photographs of John Santerineross and the monstrous paintings of Chet Zar.

Some are subtle as a fan dance, while others are saucy as twirling tassels, and they're all collected here—the finest, raunchiest, most teasing burlesque poster art, from the Follies Bergère of 1880 to the London Burlesque of 2008. More than 150 poster designs illustrate the history -of bumping and grinding, flirting and subverting. All graphic designers eager to study the evolution of this specific art form will find this collection essential.
