Hello Promise,

Thanks for the praise. I love making these type of designs!

Please PM me about cabinet dimensions. I've made a bunch of designs in different sizes so anythings possible. I've done a few Williams widebody designs and that seems to be popular. I can send those to you if you'd like.

The Hyperpin decal set (2 sides, 2 tops & 1 front) is $295 plus shipping. A Deluxe set is available for an additional cost if you want a speaker bezel and inner sides.

I appreciate the message and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, all the best!

Hello spinners & pinners,

Some updated custom Pinball designs. I made a few new designs I'd like to share with everyone. 2 flavors...

First up is a Monster Energy Pinball that Brandon brought to life with a great idea on a very recognizable brand. I love how the environment makes the logo and the colors pop off the cabinet. The custom smoke and lightning was a blast to make. It gave me complete creative control to flush off depth and detail in the background.

Second and maybe my favorite so far is Ron's Taurus Zodiac themed Pinball cab. I slugged her 'El Toro de Pinball'. The galaxy and star fields look super rich and the flaming pinball comets are spectacular. The combination of color and balance in this layout really give the viewer some cool things to look at.

Brad in CT continues his hot streak of making insane prints of my designs. The colors and contrast of these are absolutely incredible. If these were backlit in a gallery people would stop and stare. Really amazing quality prints. Thanks Brad!!

And thanks to both guys for making these projects shine. I truly appreciate getting to work with such talented people who really know how to make something special from an idea. I learn something new each time I work with people flushing out designs that started as a concept and become something special. It was a pleasure continuing these efforts for these awesome Pinball machines!!

I can't wait to see what's next. Please contact me if you'd like to do something like these or anyhting else for that matter.

Thank you, all the best!

Really nice design work Josh thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

Have you done any for pin2k cabs? It would be cool to see how they look on a real cab.

Hello spinners & pinners,

Another custom pinball design to showcase to the community:

Wizard Pin cooked up by Carlos is a great idea. He wanted a Lord of the Rings inspired cabinet. We took Gandalf and made him fight a dragon; yeah boy!! I really like the colors and balance of the castle darks and the electrified greens with smoke and some cool details. Fun way to show off some fantasy inspired artwork for a cool project. Thank you Carlos!!

The Texas Pinball Festival is in a few weeks. I hope to see and meet some more HS members and discover some more hidden treasures in the design world of retro gaming. I appreciate getting to work with creative people. All these projects are great to work on and I'm looking forward to the next series of projects.

Thank you, all the best!!

dfwArcade - just curious if you do you do your own illustrations as well? If so, do you primarily just use digital painting techniques? Looks like a bulk of your week is really well done graphic design with some photo/image manipulation.

[dfwArcade]

Hello T-800,

I'm not an illustrator but can make some things in a pinch. My work is mostly graphic design for balance and color and getting things to look seemless and cleaning up good quality images to create the environments. That takes enough time for me... if I had to draw from scratch I'd have to charge way more for my time plus there are much better illustrators out there. I'm sticking to this format for now. Thanks for the question!

[T-800]

Cool, thanks for the info. Keep up the good work - your samples clearly show you do a good job of making clean edged art with good color and subject balance.

It was great working on Wizard Pin with you Josh. I haven't received my printed design from Brad yet but I should have it in the next day or two. My next cab will be a mame. It's in the design stage now and not sure what I will name it yet or theme I want. You'll be hearing from me again. Thanks again.

Hey Josh I could use some help with my art . could you pm me thanks. Tony

[evil eye]

That Wizard Pin art looks great!

[dfwArcade]

Thank you Carlos! It was great bringing your idea to life. I'm looking forward to seeing it skinned and how it looks complete. Please do let me know if I can work with you again; doing a Mame cab would be great.

I have a second Mame machine myself I'm trying to get too next as well. It's a showcase cab with the 4 player layout. It was a NFL Blitz in great shape. KISS themed, I call her... Kreatures of the Night! KON for short. I'll be sharing that with the community soon but have been to busy to really get too far into it.

Thanks again Carlos, please post some pics when she's done. All the best!

Hey Tony, I just fired off an email with some samples and info for you. Thanks!!

[dfwArcade]

Thanks EE, I always appreciate you checking in and letting me know what you think.

Some really good detail in this one, especially the custom sword work. The lightning is a real treat to make and the colors pop off the backgrounds. Minty clean with some easy to recognize imagery. Win win, thanks man. Take care!

[Toadie]

I would like to add to Josh's awesomeness...

Below are the graphics that Josh created for me and I must say if you're having any doubts or have a vision but just can't tweak it to where you want, go with Josh. Incredibly easy to work with, and in my humble opinion awesome work. Enjoy... I'll post more photos once it's built

[dfwArcade]

Thanks Vince! It was a pleasure making this happen the way you wanted. That was a fun one and I can't wait to see it as a completed cabinet. The sides with the lights are going to look awesome, thank you!!!

[Redskins]

Josh - I want to get you to create the artwork for my hyperpin & hyperspin cabinets - please pm me. Thanks!

[dfwArcade]

I sent you a PM with some info about custom design builds. Thanks for contacting me!

[graf]

Hi dfwArcade I sent you a PM about a custom job.

[demonseed]

Do u do mame arcade artwork??

[dfwArcade]

Hello Demonseed, yes sir. Please check out my galleries. Arcade Mame stand up machines, pedestal cabinets, bartops and pinball cabs. You name it I can make it. Thanks for asking!

[Drews Arcade]

I had some time to apply my art I had Josh make and Brad print. I give these two guys big thumbs up, easy to work with and great results.

[dfwArcade]

Wow Andy that looks fantastic, way to go man! I love the perfectly lined up wrap in the front. The 3D grid idea in the background looks terrific. Thanks for making a custom out of our design pack. Love the pictures, thanks for sharing!

[pofo14]

I'm still at a loss for my upcoming build. Maybe a mortal kombat theme.... Mortal Pinball Kombat. Put the big dragon logo on the sides of the cab at the back...

Maybe. Just an idea for now. But I will reach out to you when I'm ready
