Pooch shares his story below…
I began airbrushing on model cars when I was 14 and that developed into my passion for hot rod art. At 16 a fellow car club member bought me a pinstriping brush and I had no clue what to do with it. I was fortunate at that time to meet my mentor and friend to this day: Mr J. I have now been at it for 54 years specializing in hand lettering, pinstriping, golf leaf and airbrush art.

WALTER CUETO
I was accepted to Art & Design where, at the time, we had to take four periods of art. I fell in love with the airbrush and never put it down since 1988. Fast forward to today, and I continue my education, I attempt to take yearly airbrush classes, in order to improve and grow.
