Apologies for the absence in my blog, i've been working hard on a few projects which i'll keep you updated on the progress as they progress. Currently in the pipe line is a VW T4, a trike, a portait on canvas... oh and did i mention a coffin???? Yip that's right i'm going to be airbrushing a coffin for a fantastic lady who's doing the opposite of dying, she's living her life to the full and exactly as she wants.The coffin itself is actually going to be being used as her trailer! Now that's rock and roll! She's a fantastic lady i'm loving the art work she's requested so i'm really excited about this particular job.
In the meantime I've had a little practice at some silver 'true fire' flames, these are kinda hard to achieve as normal true fire is done with 'candy colours' which are very transparent paints to achieve a 'lit up' look. Silver is opaque which makes it much harder to make the flames imitate real fire... but i've attached a little first attempt i did on a scrap bit of car for you to have a little look at. i'll hopefully be doing something like it on my own car and motorbike - being silverbird n all ;-). I think the effect is pretty cool and actually looks much better in day light as the sunlight reflects off of the silver paint which makes it almost holographic. let me know what you think. there are two pics, first with without lacquer and second with.
