SCORCH, a living tribute of sorts SCORCH Pinstriping  Lee Daniel started drawing Monster designs from the East Coast at the age of 12 (1964) for the famed ED "BIG DADDY" ROTH in California.Ed Roth used some of his radical design ideas on his custom Monster T-Shirts and SweatshirtsIn 1984, Lee finally met up with Roth in Bakersfield, Ca, after moving there, and had 2 days of bonding at various restaurants,Lee's Sign Shop, local custom shops, and the Bakersfield Convention Center Parking Lot where ED was camping out of a FORD Pinto and an outside temporary folding Army COT. At that time, Ed was designing and building Cycle Trikes (3 wheeled motorcycles with an automobile engine)using 6 cylinder 80's Buick Engines that he salvaged from Southern California junkyards.Ed structured a path for Lee to follow. He instructed that Lee use his striping brush every day, because Ed noticed that he had the knack of OLD SKOOL striping, plus a demon flare of intricate striping design. Lee went South for 3 years to the pinhead Rat striping meet and met most of Ed's striping and custom paint associates.Ed gave Lee a nickname of "SCORCH" during those Mid 80's years. Lee would scorch the substrate with an acetaline flame from a BIC Lighter, clear it, and then pinstripe over the scorch impression.Ed stayed in partial contact with Lee until his timely death in year 2001.Lee is striping as of 2008 in Tulsa, Oklahoma / and spots on the West Coast USASome of Lee's work depicted on his Scorch Site belowED ROTH SITESCORCH's SITE
