Up in Flames: The Art of Flame Painting

Up in Flames: The Art of Flame Painting
- Used Book in Good Condition
Flame painting first lit up the hot rod world more than 50 years agoâ€”and itâ€™s still burning strong.Â At the heart of the art are a handful of innovators who have pushed the tradition to ever-greater heights over the past half-centuryâ€”and these are the artists profiled in this book. Up in Flames introduces readers to the flame painters who best represent the talent and inspiration that give this particular art form its power, and whose stories best illustrate the evolution of the flame job.
Each profile features full-color illustrations and photographs, examples of an artistâ€™s range, and the painterâ€™s own thoughts on style, career, and craftâ€”all framed by an introduction that traces the flame job from its infancy to todayâ€™s modern techniques and designs. Also included is a unique and comprehensive - over 5 pages - timeline of the history of flames and painting.
