I was struck by this pinstriping
http://www.wooljersey.com/
which gallery came along for the ride when Ben Kamenjas honored the work and noted the birthday here of another KOF, Jim Bundy.
The paint is by Roy Behrens.
Ben noted to me:
"That style of over the top paint was typical of Australian frames right up until the 70's. Imported frames (from Europe) were very expensive and always viewed as a superior product and local builders in a very competitive market had to go all out to dispel any doubts of quality & finesse. So much in fact that painters, and line artists were paid higher than the frame builders themselves.
Of course once Japanese imports started in the early 70's such extravagant paint became unfeasible, the art died and things changed."
