90%
of airbrushers
use this projector
to
meet deadlines
and
is
one of the biggest
secrets
around!
This above is called an opague
projector. I need to tell you a little bit about this piece of
equiptment. I will start off by saying that Micheal Angelo ( the
famous artist) even used one of these for his artwork. This is
hands down* one of the most important steps in your
airbrush endeavors. I have been airbrushing for 17 years
and I had never even heard that artists use this thing until my
3rd year into airbrushing! Here's what it does......you can take
ANY wallet to postcard size image and set it under this thing,
and it will transfer an image in full color to a wall, carhood,
leather jacket, piece of glass, signboard, and so on. If
anyone tells you its cheating then LET THEM SAY that, because your first
and foremost concern is to make money! It is my
constituted belief that people can actually learn to draw with projectors, and if your ever using this thing to do
custom murals, YOU NEVER LET THE CUSTOMER KNOW that you used it,
and you add it on to your labor etc!
Heres whats even
more fascinating in my experience of teaching close to ten
years, and customizing in this field 17 years. THE ARTISTS ARE
NOT ALWAYS the ones who do good at this skill! Mechanics,
Lawyers, Accountants, Carpenters etc (anyone who seems to have
fairly good tedium, and attention to detail), usually set just
as good of a standard as the quote-unquote "artists". Good
airbrushing is far more a result of excellent craftsmanship than
it is random artistic talent. In 1991, I paid
$69 for my projector and have made lots of money doing
carhoods, jackets, t's, signs, glass, furniture and much
more! The projector (exscuse the metaphor) is GOD CRAWLING
DOWN YOUR ARM! It changes everything, ITS YOUR TALENT, and
pulls alot of people into this field who have a drawing phobia*
or neurosis of basic artistic composition! Its my
professional opinion that people should get a projector EVEN
before they purchase an airbrush! Projectors can be bought for
as low as $54 (just like the one above).
Y
ou do not need a real expensive projector in the
inception of this skill. The one pictured above is perfect for
95% of your needs! This piece of equiptment is where your
airbrush career will start. Think of it...if you can project
stuff, you have a sign-shop, a transfer machine for murals,
t-shirts.. and on and on......you must understand my point here!
I have no clue whythis secret has not been more exposed to the
world of artists and artisans alike! ( Not to mention the
general public). WELL MY FRIENDS, ITS EXPOSED NOW!
