Airbrush Step By Step Magazine Issue 67

CONTENTS

It’s springtime – time to get the winter dust out of your house and to bring in some new design spirit. Home decor assortments at Ikea, HomeGoods, Wayfair, Pier 1 Imports & Co. have grown like weeds in the last 10 years, and DIY (do it yourself) is also totally in vogue in this field. Fortunately, the airbrush technique is at the forefront of this trend, because as we all know, there is hardly any object in the home or garden that cannot be embellished with an airbrush.

In this issue we have put together a few ideas for this: René Becht from Berlin, Germany, uses a classic of household items that can be airbrushed – the toilet lid. Thanks to his design, a red-eyed frog now guards the toilet around the clock. Tanya Bentham is woken up in the morning by a meerkat "smiling" cheerfully at her from the breakfast board. Gerald Mendez's "Arising" project isn't about a usable object, but the combination of grinding techniques and airbrush painting makes his work much more than just a painting. Your design taste goes more in the direction of vintage? No problem, Dutch artist Erik Velthuis will show you how to transform a brand new Fender bass guitar into a worn 1965 piece. Crazy? Yes, you could say that....

American airbrush artists Sandi and JW Baker are true experts when it comes to decoration – they make a living from printing their art on a wide variety of items, from tote bags to posters, shower curtains, coffee mugs and more. In the interview, they talk about the business of their wildlife art, and are sure to give one or two ideas for any airbrush artist.
