We're Airbrush artists.

I started airbrushing in the 90's as a hobby. I was an electrician in the construction industry at the time and was looking for a creative outlet. I began by painting artwork on motorcycles and crash helmets. I met my wife, an Italian airbrush artist, gave up the electrical work, moved to Italy and now work full time as an artist. Even though it's my job, i still consider it a hobby and am loving every minute of it

 

I'd love to see some pictures of your work.

 

Welcome to GC, JohnD

Great to hear that you are making a living out of your creativity!

 

Okay i will post some work. Most of the work we do is for companies now. We paint our artwork onto their merchandising. For example we will paint artwork onto pen barrels, send them back to the company for assembly and they sell them through their outlets. If you ever go to the pen department in Harrods London, chances are that you will see some of our pens for sale. We have worked for royalty, presidents, VIPs and private collectors. We have demonstrated at Harrods in London and our work is displayed at the Tate modern London and the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.
If you are wondering why some of the artwork has a scuoladellearti watermark. We also have a school in Bologna where we teach airbrushing and that is our official site.
