Airbrush Action Getaway Las Vegas 09/25/08
9/25/08 — Another Airbrush Action Getaway in Las Vegas made for a great reason to stop in, see some new talent, and catch up with old friends. This event, like the last couple before it, was held at the beautiful Southpoint Hotel-Casino-Spa located in the heart of the premiere southwest Las Vegas valley, just minutes south of the famous Las Vegas Strip.
Airbrush Seminars are for all skill levels from novice to professionals. This year’s classes included…
Achieving Photorealism with Dru Blair • Pinstriping & Lettering Mastery • Automotive Art and Illustration • Automotive Graphics • Automotive Art and Illustration • Craig Fraser’s Automotive Cheap Tricks and Special F/X • House Of Kolor’s Art of Painting • Intro to Airbrushing Getaway • Intro to Automotive Graphics Getaway • Intro to Murals on Steel • Automotive Murals on Steel • T-Shirt Airbrushing • Pin-Up Art & Airbrushing • Intro to Pinstriping
A.D. Cook with master airbrush illustrator Dru Blair. Those fortunate enough to take Dru’s Photorealism workshop will be blown away by his immense knowledge and color theory that goes way beyond theory. Buckle in and visit Dru’s web site at DruBlair.com.
The pinup class was blessed by a visit from the beautiful model for the subject of the class, Anastasia - oh, and it was also taught by Lorenzo Sperlonga and Steve Driscoll. But enough about them, back to Anastasia…
Lorenzo does a demo for attendees. Take notes here - this guy definitely knows how to paint the beautiful ladies. Visit him here for more > LorenzoSperlonga.com
Gary Worthington taught the t-shirt class. Wow… check out Gary’s work….
This are probably some of the coolest hand painted t-shirts we’ve ever seen! (and we’ve seen a few). Gary’s unique style is so over the top, it makes up want to take an airbrush t-shirt workshop.
Reluctant hero or otherwise, you wouldn’t want to run into this Joker on a Dark Knight.
Terry Hill pauses for a quick pic with a long-time friend Cheryl Vaughn - lots of history there.
A.D. Cook with Charles Armstrong.
Gary Jensen really gets behind his pinstripe class. Wow, those guys work hard - what with all that line-straightener and stuff.
Catching up with Craig Fraser of Air Syndicate. Got Paint?
Craig teaches one of his famous demos. Did you miss out? Make sure you sign up for the next one - ‘nough said.
The amazing Jonathan Pantaleon offered his expertise to some lucky students. Stay tuned for more on Jonathan. He’s got a cool gig coming up in an exotic venue - you’ll want to learn more about that.
Alan Pastrana offered his expertise this year. This is a truly fresh talent - currently featured on the cover of Airbrush Action.
More examples of Alan’s work is displayed in his great collection of panels.
An always cheerful presence at the Getaways - Las Vegas local Bren Southerland takes a break from his always busy duties for a shot with A.D.
Tom Puentes is a regular at the getaways, and we’d be disappointed if we didn’t see him there.
Gary Glass, President of Iwata-Medea out of Portland, Oregon, A.D. Cook and Dave Monnig from Coast Airbrush.
Gary Glass pimpin’ the best of the best - Iwata of course.
And the sponsor of the Airbrush Action Getaway is of course Cliff Steiglitz, Publisher & Executive Editor of Airbrush Action magazine.
Well, that’s it until the next one. Keep painting and take care.
