Award winning artist? LOL!

Got a first place large male color and a third place medium female color in New Hampshire. So, do I write "award winning artist" next to my name now??? LOL! Feels good to win though. Thanks!

Kustom Kulture Gallery Airbrush Class 08!!

Keith Ciaramello introducing the class to Javier Soto and Mike Barile. These guys are two of the most sought after custom painters around. Both have had vehicles featured in most of the major car and bike magazines and Javier is a star instructor for Airbrush Action Magazine.

Mike demos "true fire". This is one of the hottest effects around....Oh crap...did I just type that..
Mike explains the underlaying of white paint followed by translucent "candy" colors to achieve this effect. Later in the evening he showed everyone how it was done. He also showed some great freehand and loose masking techniques.
Javier Soto demonstrates his skin tone system for portrait style artwork. Even Mike snaps a few pictures of this one. Awesome! Javi rules!
All the participants got to do the "drills". Dot patterns, line segments, shading and dagger strokes were explained.

Javier's skin tone demo in progress. Beautiful!
Everyone got one on one time with the artists to ask any questions. Here Javier explains single and double action airbrushes.
Class ran into the night...
Shooting out of sequence....Scorsese on film...
Everyone got their hands dirty! That's what its all about!
Javier is so good you could swear he had a third arm. See it??? Whoa!
Mike makes it look WAY too easy. The airbrush is an extension of his hand for sure.
Thanks again to Mike and Javier for giving this class every year. If you would like to meet them and have an opportunity to try our airbrushing , they will be giving a short free demo this year at our annual "Brushes, Needles and Burnouts" event. Please check the website for details and a schedule of demos and happenings during this two day event.
Thanks for looking!

Tales from the Moleskin....

Got me a little 3.5 x5.5 Moleskin watercolor book for my pocket. Wash drawings, doodles, and studies of other painters....
Here's the first two...

Drew Brophy Visits KKG!

Drew Brophy Visits KKG!
Another visit from an inspiring custom artist. Man are we lucky! It seems like one day we are talking about how much we admire someone and then "POOF" there they are!

I even got my own little paint pen demo from the man himself. Amazing to see just how much Drew can do with simple water-based paint pens. He customizes everything from guitars and motor-cycles to his specialty...surfboards.

The quintessential cool surfer dude, he is laid back and doing what he loves. You can tell he is for real. All about making bad-ass art for people to enjoy.
Paint pens are way more versatile then you would think, and apparently they taste good too!!! Frankly I think there may be an easier way to show how child safe the paint is, but hey...this works.
Thanks again to Drew and Maria Brophy for taking the time out to come by and see our shop. Hope we see them again real soon. In the meantime visit our webstore to purchase Drew's DVD on how to paint with paint pens. It is sure to get you up and painting everything in the house!
