Are you still buying your home decoration, clothing or birthday
invitation cards in the shop? Then you missed the trend:
Do it yourself. Whether made of fabric, paper, wood or
metal, sewing or timbering, painting or pasting – everyone
is crafting around his home, the way he or she wants it. A
dream for airbrush artists. Which other crafting technique is
as flexible as airbrushing? With the airbrush, you could actually
„decorate“ the walls of your dining room, the cake on
the table as well as the face of the hostess at the same time
(just don’t confound the paints!).
You can find some inspiration on this topic in this issue:
Following the trend of „upcycling“, Christoph Kottemölle
grabbed an old skateboard and turned it into a real „itpiece“
using airbrushing and comic mounting techniques.
You can also call all the modellers and RC cars enthusiats the
pioneers of the DIY trend. Ready-made cars are absolutely
not in demand. That’s also how Mark Wierzbicki started airbrushing.
In his article, he shows the „terrifying“ painting
process of a Lexan car body. From modelling to cakes: This is
the extraordinary way of Dutch man Edwin Weimer, about
which he tells us in an interview. Ending up at tea time, ASBS
editor Roger Hassler shows you how to paint a complete tea
set.
Of course, we don’t want to forget about the classic illustration
art, which is shown by the Columbian artist Adriano
Ayerbe with his bald eagle as well as the SK-Brush
brothers featuring their Maya Skull. But as already stated
above: With airbrushing, everything seems to be a
kind of „Do it yourself“ – but this trends already lasts
for more than 120 years.
So we wish you a creative summer. Maybe you’ll
send us a few images of your Airbrush-DIY projects!
