| CHECK IT OUT! It's Ed "Big Daddy" Roth interviewing Von Dutch! WHO IS KENNY HOWARD? WHO IS VON DUTCH? Kenny Howard, better known as Von Dutch, is one of the most misunderstood and eccentric artists of modern times. A uniquely talented and versatile craftsman and motorcycle mechanic famed for popularizing pinstriping starting back in the 1950's into the 60's, and later going on to create masterful works of engraving, machining, sign painting, gunsmithing, knife making, and just plain artistic and mechanical magic. You might call him the grandfather of Kustom Kulture. VON DUTCH IS NOT A FASHION LABEL!!! No thanks to a few overzealous star struck fa$hion whores, the VON DUTCH name has been fighting pesky tarnish ever since 2002! But that's a whole different story.......... "I make a point of staying right at the edge of poverty. I don't have a pair of pants without a hole in them, and the only pair of boots I have are on my feet. I don't mess around with unnecessary stuff, so I don't need much money. I believe it's meant to be that way. There's a 'struggle' you have to go through, and if you make a lot of money it doesn't make the 'struggle' go away. It just makes it more complicated. If you keep poor, the struggle is simple." --VON DUTCH-- This page is dedicated to the ORIGINAL VON DUTCH ... And it goes out to all you HOT RODDERS, PINSTRIPERS, ARTISTS, MACHINISTS, WELDERS, FABRICATORS and every other surviving or possibly budding KUSTOM KULTURE PROVOCATEUR out there. Just for the ones who KNOW........ VON DUTCH IS STILL ALIVE! Von Dutch's Family, Friends, and Fans adorned in the contraband Anticonformity threads: Cool Slideshows Cool Slideshows!

Music:Jazz: modern and fusion... Von Dutch was an accomplished flautist. The sound of a running, working, rumbling, machine motor or maybe the sound from a gun he crafted himself was probably true music to his ears. He onced "Dutched" Mike Condello's guitar in the 1960's by first painting on it and then later firing a pistol straight through it. |
