Maybe its just me, but I am getting real sick of these "real flames".
Don't get me wrong, I think Mike Lavalee's flames are fantastic! I have seen some amazing layouts and paintjobs using real flame. And there are a number of other artists who have conquered the "real flame" approach!
But like many other ideas, it becomes too big of an idea and starts to appear in every artists portfolio and at every car show and in every custom paint job...and now it just isn't as special or unique or interesting as it was!!
And....if you can't paint real flames...learn how....or STOP!
My god, I have seen some nasty looking flame jobs!! What are these people thinking?!! Paint what you know...learn new techniques...master them, and then put them out for the public. I haven't tried real flames yet...don't know if I can do it...won't offer it as a service unless I know I can do it properly!
