MySpace Featured Artist - Cristobal
Wednesday, September 26th, 2007
A couple posts back, we mentioned that we were starting a new segment on AirbrushTour to showcase the talented artists on MySpace. And while we’ve certainly featured several artists who have MySpace pages in the past, we’re proud to introduce the first official post to present to you a new artist (at least to AirbrushTour).
The first of the MySpace Featured Artists is Christopher Smith aka Crisobal. Christopher Smith began airbrushing with Space City Airbrush in 2000 on the Kemah Boardwalk. As a Houston, TX artist he has been airbrushing for about 7 years solid and is shows. This self taught through learned his skills by investing countless hours in the garage/studio to master his craft. Until recently, most all of Chris’ referrals have been through word of mouth, but he’s recently put a portion of his work on his web site and on MySpace. Now, he says… “the hits on the site and biz have increased”. Chris has been using Iwata airbrushes since he started. He says he’s tried other airbrushes but wasn’t impressed. He finds portraits to be the most challenging - each one offers something unique and different, be it the eyes, the skin tone, or both.
Below are a few examples of the art of Cristobal… we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Space City Airbrush specializes in airbrushed murals, airbrushed sheetmetal (such as motorcycle tanks and fenders), airbrushed portraits, airbrushed helmets, airbrushed guitars, airbrushed t-shirts, and live airbrushing entertainment.
