I started airbrushing in the spring of 2005. I particularly enjoy working photorealistic art. I've been drawing ever since I can remember but this new airbrush experience is a blast and I see many hours of pleasure ahead!!! I have learned a lot on photorealistic paintings in a very short period of time and one of my objective is to share with others what I have learned as well as the many tricks associated with airbrushing thru some specialised airbrush classes that I'm presently putting together.

I was asked to do a helmet to match the metal like flame on the tank of a 2005 Dyna Wide Glide. Worked with Auto Air colors and used Hot Rod blue Sparkles for the base coat and did the flames with some black and brite blue Candy. Simple design but the trick was to get them perfectly lined up and getting the vinyl onto the curved surfaces.

I'm 46 years old and I started airbrushing in the spring of 2005. I work in an Architectural firm in downtown Montreal, Quebec Canada and I particularly enjoy working photorealistic art.
