Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Paint and Bodywork Any Talented Airbrushers out there?

dreamweaver does some nice stuff.......but im not just an artist im a painter......i do all my own bases clears primers..i do all my own body work...id be more then willing to discuss some of these differences because its not art where talking about here..its chemical reactions atmospheric preassures and trapping materials in some very thick resins on top of very thin vinyl film........it might be a good learning experience for s

Do you really think you are dealing with an amateur here Doc?

And as far as quick artist and blowing paint . You better take a close look at my work before you open your mouth again.

As far as chemical reactions and such. Doc i work hand in hand with a restoration shop that all they do is show quality work, and also deal with Dupont reps directly. The only red flags that came up to me was you.

And as for top pro's ....you are looking at one featured in Airbrush Action MAgazine

Greetings Guy & Judy, miss you folks!

Now about all this saber rattling...I'm covering up my head!!!

Ahhh, too see the great masters fight is like watching two angles pluck the feathers off each others wings, it's just not right!

Artists are sensitive people and they are fierce to defend the long years and training that go into their art form, they are passionate, insightful and should not lower themselves to squabbling over details and differences of opinion.

Just feel good in knowing that there are millions out there who could only dream of having a fraction of the talent you guys show, you both have the right to defend your artistic beliefs but do remember all the aspirering artist are watching you both , show them that there is still class within this art form.

Now if you would rather beat up on me than each other that’s ok, just do it in a PM so that the young kids coming up in vanning can't see it in the forums, we all have a responsibility towards the future of vanning, lets show the next generation a united front.

I'm a big boy, I can take it, I can't promise that I'll read the PMs...LOL! because I hate getting bad news..Tee Hee Hee.

Have a good day, and next time you have your air brush in your hand give thanks that when the Gods gave out talent you were not standing in the wrong line like myself!

Come on guys .....

The best way to solve this is on the Show and Shine Field @ the NATZ......
So bring your best stuff and let the judges decide !

I am afraid I had a small part in Dreamweaver's not doing all his own bodywork and paint, and clear coating.....

My opinion at the time was, and still is, that his creativity was better served on doing the actual artwork, than the basic job of base coat, clear coat and buffing etc. Don't get me wrong, the base and finish is just as important as the artwork, but a lot more people are good at that, but can't draw a straight line, never mind features and effects.

DocCyber, I have never seen your work that I know of, but would like to. Is any of the van's you done still around ?

Ahhhh Native Son. I see as always wise and diplomatic. Good to see you also.

Brightest Blessings to you and yours and may the Goddess light your path my friend.
