Gnarly Magazine is a brand new print publication, featuring kustom kulture artists such pinstripers, lowbrow artists, sign painters, sculptors, modelers, airbrush artists, tattooers, hot rod/bike builders, comic artists, and more.
"I started Gnarly Magazine as a creative way to showcase artists who wouldn’t otherwise be making it into “mainstream” art magazines. The dedication to their craft and tradition is something that I admired and wanted to build a magazine around.
And, since I have no mechanical abilities and have had zero success at mastering a Mack pinstriping brush, I figured I’d do something more in my wheelhouse: publish a gnarly magazine!
Gnarly also showcases artists through online art competitions held at the blog at
GnarlyMagazine.com. Upcoming contests include tiki art, motorcycle helmet art, Rat Finks, skateboard art, and monster art. The goal here isn't to see who's the best at drawing/painting/sculpting/airbrushing/tattooing a Rat Fink, but to promote fantastic artists. Through all of the artists promoting on their social media sites –getting people to vote for their art entry– many people are discovering artists who they may not have seen before the contests.
In addition to the print edition, you can view Gnarly Magazine on mobile devices via the Magzter app or
