Ernie Colunga







'Hi Jeff, these are some pictures of Ernie Colunga, one of the pin stripers we used at Denver's. I went to his studio the other day and he showed me his knuckle head that he wrecked 20 years ago, he said I was the first one to see it since he covered it up way back when. He let me take a few shots of it and gave me permission to show them as I saw fit. No better place than C.O.C. He is in the hospital right now in pretty bad condition so keep him in your thoughts, he is an amazing man and artist.'

Respect, Mike Mafufa of Berdoo
 
Thanks Mike! One of the originals. We hope he and his family are well.
