Motorbike painter. Martinez began pinstriping aged 12. He apprenticed under many renowned pin stripers to learn his art, and is keen to pass on what he now knows as one of the best in the business to young motorcycle customising enthusiasts. Although I like his open attitude, and he is undeniably talented, what I read about him and his work lacked the flair and magic I want the films to have. He is a competent craftsman, but he hasn’t got the extra something. Plus, there are more important things to impart to the next generation than pinstriping.
