Greetings Everyone,

I finally took the initiative to get into airbrushing during September of 2012. By trade I am a Commercial Food & Product photographer. During my 25+ years as a photog I have also worked professionally as a tattoo artist, graphic designer (digital and conventional illustration), and as a working musician playing 5 and 6 string electric bass. Being heavily based in the visual arts it has been my desire, for many years, to learn how to airbrush the visions I have in my head.
This has been quite a challenge for me over the past few months as learning to control the airbrush is a completely unique set of skills to learn. I am thankful for forums like this one where the real required information is FREE.

Holy S***! Thank you for that sweet offer! I would REALLY love that tour!
No Cullinary Arts airbrushing... YET! That sounds like something I would be very interested in, considering that my business specialization is Food & Product Photography for advertising.
As a photographer / illustrator / tattoo artist, I have desired to learn airbrushing for MANY years. Now at the age of forty-something (closer to... fifty) I am FINALLY taking the steps to learn this art form.
A friend of mine introduced me to airbrushing with his Anthem 155. I immediately fell in love. (with the process airbrushing, of course) My friend informed me that Badger is local and I could clearly see the advantage of that.
Now I can also see the extent to which you go just to make your customers satisfied and happy. I am sticking with Badger products. My next purchase will be a Krome.
 
Welcome aboard! Judging by your background, the transition to airbrush will most likely be easy. Look forward to seeing some of your work!
 
Hi Darren, its nice to greet you, (with a big smile) from New York. There is a great bunch of friendly people here. Welcome!
