Hello everyone. My name is Scott and new in almost every sense of the Airbrush world proper.
First off. let me say that it takes a lot for me to join a Internet website. This site has some of the most down to earth people that I have ever seen. For that I commend the members here.
My bio in airbrushing goes way back almost 30 years with a purchase of a Paasche VL. I have used that brush for anything imaginable to use a AB with, short of an attempt at actual art.
I'm 59 years old and have no illusions of ever being a 'real' artist, Hence my name.
But a long term fascination of color theory(s) and implementation has finally warranted becoming a earnest student.
And with that, there is obviously an incredible amount to learn which brought me here.
The VL has been a wonderful brush, and will never say a bad word about it. But after a month or so of dabbling with paint, I was getting the feeling that I was trying to scratch a itch on my back with a garden rake.
So I decided I needed something a little better.
Just wanted a decent 'Learner'. Good quality, gravity fed, medium size needle, and easy to clean.
I called just about every AB manufacturer and after a wonderful conversation with a nice lady at Iwata, ended up with a HP-CS. And that has turned out to be everything that I could ever have wanted or need, and then some.
Got a little frustrated with Badger with 3 calls over a week and never anyone available to help me. Either in a meeting or out to lunch.
I cant really state here what my interest(s) are exactly here, because I honestly dont know yet.
At this stage, I have my hands full with just improving fundamentals and will wait for a force to pull me in from this ocean.
As long as it has to do with color though, I'm in.
I will say that the talent here is absolutely jawdropping, and in the SBS alone is a great place to get lost and waste time, paper, and paint.
Lots to take in here onsite and will be reading for a long time.
So in the meantime and again...........Hello!
