What could be better than starting the summer with an animal issue?
Nature is blooming and the sun invites each and every creature
to romp around outside. The great egret painted by Italian artist Silvia
Belviso is literally waiting for the sunrise. The lovely motif was
designed on the basis of Dru Blair's Color Buffer theory. The red fox,
which the Belgian Ma th  Delaunoy has airbrushed onto a VW
Caddy, also curiously pricks up its ears in front of plant seeds flying
around in the background. Elzbieta Osinska's horse portrait
"Dream" shows horse and rider
united on a summer-colored
pouring background.
The power, wilderness and unpredictability
of animals is what
is featured in the art of Daniel
Sullivan and Lubos Pirek:
Daniel's piece "Fire-Breather" is
showing a bear gone wild
within a flaming inferno of his
forest. The American artist
used the fire design techniques
of "True Fire" legend
Mike Lavallee. Czech custom
painter Lubos Pirek chose the
movie hero King Kong as
main character for his motorcycle
project, along with an
unusual lava design and special
paint effects.
Getting back to the summer topic, famous US T-Shirt artistMark Rush
is giving an insight into his amazing career from the business-minded
little school boy to becoming the owner of “Big Airbrush” chain
stores. Does that whet your appetite for a vacation? Then you also
have to read the interview with Swiss Philipp Klopfenstein. He is
painting one of a kind suitcases that you're sure to recognize at the
baggage claim.
So, a colorful and lively issue, right? Have fun and enjoy your summer
time!
