He does traditional hand painted sign writing, airbrushing and pinstriping on everything from household/personal items all sizes to bikes, cars and trucks. Higgy's wife Sue is being taught the skills of kustom art by Higgy. Below is his life history. I left school in 1980 and started a coach painter apprenticeship at Roll's Royce Motors in Crewe. I left in 1984 to become a freelance truck painter. I have painted Roll's Royce and Bentley cars for the Frankfurt and Geneva motor shows, an award winning vintage fire engine for the London Brighton run, custom cars and bikes. During the early 90s I became interested in sign painting "following in my Dads footsteps". I started tattooing in the late 90s and owe so much to the late Terry Roberts R.I.P. and Buzzard who now has a studio in Manchester.
