2 tone for now
« on: June 03, 2008, 06:56:26 PM »

Well I found myself completely bored with my bike. It has looked the same for 3 years. I have been threatening to paint it for months but I have been busy painting everyone elses. Well saturday night I just tore her down and went to work by 1 AM i was done and watching the clear coat dry. I went back and forth on what i wanted. I wanted to skull it out or tear into with the airbrush but after a ton of thought I decided to go simple and clean. It is a hugger orange over black with a barbed wire seperator.just simple and clean.
I have never been big on 2 tones but i am gettting old and my mind is definitly starting to go.

here is a helmet I did a week or so ago in case the bike is too simple.

I will have to get motivated to put it back together now. The parts look so good on the table and I am lazy those 2 things are keeping me from putting it back together...lol

Well, I always wanted to do airbrush work but Everyone always said how hard it is. A few years ago I asked for an Airbrush for Christmas to play around with. The more I read about and the more i played around the better I got. I am still what you would call a mediocre at it but i have figured out that all the stigma that surrounds it is mostly BS. Not saying there aren't those Master airbrush artists out there, but those guys aren't the ones trying to rip you a new one for hourly work that 1/2 the time is stencil and tape. I use stencils most of the time for skulls and such. But that is the best way to get a pattern down.I have had people bash it and say "I bet you wish you could freehand that stuff" and I usually say who the he-ll do you think sketched and cut the stencil? After you get the outline down then comes the real work of shading and making it look like it has depth. I say go get you a Cheap double action airbrush and play around. Email for anything you want to know and i will offer up what i can. If you want to learn hown to paint solids and clears holler I don't know it all but i can get you started cheap. There are so many things you can paint right off the bat and pull off some cool work.

Got the bike back together last night i will get some pics together tonight after i get off Work.
