Hi.
I've just bought myself an H&S Infinity CRPlus with the 0.15 and 0.4 with a Sparmax TC610H.
I've not airbrushed in something like 30 years now and back then I was using mostly Aerograph units spraying cars and the like.
The idea now is to get back in to brushing for a part-time semi-retired kind of income and pleasure. I intend mainly to be painting narrowboat signage and graphics (After getting used to the equipment again!)
A big change since my earlier experience is going to be in the stencil creation process - we have computers now! To that end I'm looking at buying a plotter/cutter, probably the Silhouette Cameo 4 Pro. This I hope will allow me to create my stencils and also produce vinyl pieces for people that want single colour graphics etc.
I've spent the last 30 years working variously as a photographer and image editor os have a huge amount of experience with Photoshop and Illustrator, this I hope will stand me in good stead with the stencil making process.
I also paint and draw so my artwork skills are pretty much ready to go, I'll attached a recent pencil drawing to this post. Be great to get some feedback on that.
Home is in the UK where I live aboard my little boat!
If anyone has any comments or suggestions for me I'd be happy to hear those too...
Hopefully in the not too distant future I'll be able to upload some early works with the new equipment.
I'm also looking forward to joining in with other forum users via their posts.
Thanks for reading...
