Yep, that's right, I live in the arctic armpit of the US--where it's always "almost winter" and the people are tightwads. I've been airbrushing since about 1980 and have been a member of several online forums, so I recognize some familiar "faces" and names here. I airbrush on many surfaces including t-shirts, silk neckties, bike tins & helmets (only occasionally though--like I said, people are cheap here and they think everything should only cost $20), computers and laptops, illustration board, paper envelopes and matching cards, and more.....but my favorite surface to paint are leather jackets. I'm a diehard Iwata user (Olympos someday) with a couple of old Paasche VL's....and since I work out of my bedroom/studio, solvent-based paints are right out--I can only use water-based paints. My mainstay are E'tac paints, both the Private Stock and EFX lines but I also use Createx Auto Air and Wicked Detail paints as well. Plus I have a wide variety of pearl powders/pigments that I utilize whenever they suit the project at hand.
I'm enthused about joining this forum as I've seen videos by Airbrushtutor before--his older works on YouTube--and I can see that although I've been painting for roughly 35 years there's always more to learn!
Mike in MN....though I hope to be in a much warmer location by summer/fall of 2017
