Welcome to AIRARTFX’s Blog.

Thanks for checking in! Here you will find off the wall/canvas/screen/etc ideas, thoughts, and procedures that make hopefully awesome creations as well as stories that might bring some happiness into your life. When I was a young kid, I always doodled in the margins of my homework and notebook. Sometimes got in trouble for it :p in a good way(I LOVED DRAWING)! Went to an art store as a young boy and pardon the expression ‘I WAS LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE’. I wanted dad to buy everything all the color paints all the paint brushes~JUST EVERYTHING!!!! and then my eyes locked in on something amazing~ A PEN-looking thing that blew paint ~ AN AIRBRUSH!!!! I was awe-struck and just had to have it. Except I didn’t have enough money and dad was teaching me life lessons. Long story short, I saved up, bought it, and found out I needed a compressor ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ! Saved again and bought the compressor. It was really hard Airbrushing on paper so I took all my dad’s white T-shirts and the only booklet I had was beginner lessons on making flowers. So I airbrushed flowers on ALL of my dad’s white T-shirts ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I got in trouble for that and it didn’t go very well for my dad, showing up to work on construction sites as an electrician with Flowers on his T-shirts. They didn’t let that go for years, He now can laugh at it however back then not so funny! ๐Ÿ™‚ And well, that is how I started Airbrushing! Made a little side business AIRART at the time and FX was added in the late 80s. Airbrushing almost everything on almost anything. Even helped out some co-airbrush artists w/their business for a few short years>Shout out to Darren, John,&Kathy 3 awesome artists. Then branched over to a little digital art which was not very detailed at the time Commodore 64 computers, sprites, and well digital art at the time ~ very pixelated. Even tried to make a BBS(Pre WWW) of what Facebook is today before that guy Mark was even born(ironically 20 minutes from where I grew up). So I had a baseball card collection and I thought wouldn’t it be nice if everyone could have their own baseball card as a regular person online in this new Online BulletinBoardSystem(BBS). Have like their favorite picture,color, animal, music, etcโ€ฆand share it with friends&family that went online. So I started trying to draw myself to make THE FIRST online profile on this very pixelated medium at the time and it just didn’t work~the face looked like a Mario brother game up close~Also I was programming it in BASIC program language which was hundreds of lines to do some simple stuff now that is all automated with 1 click inside another program&Then I had to figure a way to incorporate it online in a BBS online language. There were too many dead ends~So I gave up that dream. Throughout the years dabbling in digital art while the majority of sporadic art creations I did with my airbrush on many surfaces including Murals/T-Shirts/License Plates/Cars/Helmets/Canvas/full body art/Airbrush Tattoos/etcโ€ฆ
Now venturing into digital art again it is quite amazing how technology has immensely branched out. Loving all the different options, Hopefully, I can put a smile on someone’s face today with 1 of my creations!
