The Hawk Eye
When the New York Times came to Burlington, they heard a story of a rundown town in despair but one of the men interviewed in the story said if he had gotten to show Burlington to The New York Times, he would have told a very different story.
Terry Davis said article author Trip Gabriel did not want to go with him on a tour of Burlington,so Davis agreed to take The Hawk Eye on the tour of Burlington he had intended to give.
“I want to show you how I see Burlington and the people,” he told The Hawk Eye as he began his driving tour of Burlington.
The work of Steve Chaszeyka and the other artists featured in “American Stripes” normally is found on wheels, not walls.
For the next two months, though, it will be on display at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown
“American Stripes” features pieces created by more than 30 artists who primarily are known for their customized paint jobs for vehicles.
Chaszeyka, who owns an airbrushing and pinstriping shop in New Middletown and runs a graphics academy that teaches aspiring pinstripers, selected artists who, like himself, push the envelope for what can be done.
“The artists I contacted, each one has a certain style and approach to this,” he said. “They’re not just hot rod pinstripers. They’re talent goes beyond car pinstriping and motorcycle pinstriping … I instructed them, ‘Don’t reinvent yourself, just do what you do,’ and these guys just went over the top.”
