I am with most of the guys on here. It is not mini style but there are many places that it could be used. And I do think i looks good for your first couple trys at it.

"Anybody have any advice or in put on whats the best scroll brush for this style of striping??? it's a bitch trying to make circles with a mack 00"   Grab a long handled scroll brush, i've got a couple Wizard scroll brushes that i use... hold the brush vertically when doing the circles, don't tilt the brush anymore then you have to. just keep playing with the thickness of your paint until you are able to pull smooth consistent swirls.     and i'm with a lot of the guys so far, i like where you were going in the start. i has the feel of scroll work but it's a little edgy with the points, i like where that was going. the later pix looked really good but i think you can have your own twist to it with a little more of a tribal feel...   keep this shit goin man, your doin great work.

on the mack brush site, pick one of the top two...   it's like anything else though, it's all personal preference... i know u said in the original post that you like your trusty 00 Mack, i'm sure that came from realizing you hated your other brushes you had on hand, or at least didn't like em 'as much' due to the 00's versatility to me a great all around brush... well your gonna have to do the same process when your diving into new grounds that your unsure about. if i were you, i'd buy a few different styles and give em all a try. i'm sure you'll find one thats your favorite 'scroll' brush. and on the same note i'm sure you can find something you like about the others so they don't go to waste, maybe you'll use one to do lettering, sign your name, or make designs with... Just keep practicing bro, shit looks great...

Brian, I'm sure Dougy's advice is right on. I'm not a great striper but I'd also say you try Kafka's "Swirly Q" or Wizard's "Typhoon" brush. They are good for looping circles. I dig what you're doing and I think stepping out of your comfort zone is what makes you grow. Keep paintin' with passion.

Thanks guys!!! I'm lost between the wizard & the Kafka brush's I like the fact that mack makes the wizard brush's.....but I have seen kafka stripe on you tube and he's amazing so i'm sure his brush's must be great too???the kafka brush's are like twice the money though.... FATSTRIPES do you have favorite scroll brush or any advice on one? it seems like it would be expensive to just start buying brush's when I'm not like a full time striper you know?
