Check out our latest Video Slideshow, Skull half tank, step by step.




This Tank was created as a promotional item for one of our display stands located at a local motorbike shop.
I wanted to render a realistic looking skull and then engulf it in flames, I chose the blue fire as something different and it always looks effective on a black base.

This video slideshow, gives you a basic understanding on how the steps were completed in order to create this particular artwork, feel free to put your own spin on it by experimenting with different skulls and or colours.

Hope you enjoy the Video, remember to visit us @ www.airbrushasylum.com.au to see more artwork and Tips & Tricks.

Harley and Custom Streetbike projects coming soon...

Things have been really going crazy here at Airbrush Asylum, we have been designing up some exciting projects which we will begin airbrushing soon.

The Brain & Neuron Harley should be getting started late next week with plenty of artwork being airbrushed as a background which will then be Candied over and then more murals over that....it's going to be a huge task but an impressive Harley when it's all said and done.

We have some Crazy looking streetbikes that we will be working on with some yet to be confirmed artwork, but it's looking like the R1 with a crazy looking custom 'single sided swingarm' and a 360 rear tyre, will be getting a B&W Grim Reaper with wings airbrushed up either sides of the fairings from front to back of the bike.
The other streetbike has some lettering confirmed for the rear and a combo of Matt and Gloss black paint for the base, with the possibility of a silhouetted Heath Ledger 'Joker' airbrushed on either side of the bikes fairings....artwork at this stage yet to be confirmed, but fingers crossed as these two projects will be some killer looking streetbikes.

Apart from the brain & Neuron Harley, & the streetbikes... we also will be working on another Harley which will be airbrushed with real fire and skulls in either green or blue Candy....once the customer confirms.

Thanks for reading and remember to keep checking this Blog to keep up to date with everything Airbrush Asylum and visit our website for the latest pix. www.airbrushasylum.com.au

Busy times here at Airbrush Asylum.

We have been really busy lately, working on some exciting projects with many more coming soon.

Our Vampire and Zombie half tanks have finally been completed and should be flowcoated by now ready to assemble on one of our display stands.

We recently completed a key for a 21st present, which included a black and white portrait with lettering and fireworks all on a laser cut MDF key and finished with 2pack clear. The customer was really happy and his daughter was amazed by the present that she received.

A Freddy Kreuger chopper has also been completed for one of our newest clients. The customer requested an image of Freddy's face burning with realistic fire on either side of the tank, we also airbrushed Freddy walking from a burning red forest on the rear fender and a silhouetted Freddy showing off his glove all within realistic flames on the front fender.

We are currently working on an illustration which has been painted on an aluminium composite panel , this project is nearly complete and along with the other artworks mentioned should appear soon on our website www.airbrushasylum.com.au

That's all for now, thanks for reading and until next time....keep paintin'

Phoenix Vrod Harley Tank Video Part 2


Towards the middle of 2011, we had a customer approach us who had a limited edition paint set from Harley on his Vrod. He ended up getting a stone chip on the Tank cover and contacted us to see if we were able to repair the section? Due to the fact that the paint scheme was a Candy Red over a Grind effect we were unable to repair only that section, therefore we suggested that a mural covering the area but keeping the background would be a better, more impressive option.
Due to the colour scheme the customer mentioned that he liked Phoenix's, we loved the idea and drew up a sketch which he approved and we then began airbrushing the fiery phoenix that you will see in this 3 part step by step video.

To see more of our artwork & Tips & Tricks visit us @ www.airbrushasylum.com.au 

Hope you enjoy the Video and until next time...keep painting'

A busy week, between Melbourne and Sydney.

This week has been a busy one. The chain skull bike has pretty much been completed, apart from some finishing touches which will be done before the flow coat.
We also completed a Tru-fire and skulls Harley for a Harley retail shop and amongst all of this work, we were invited to head up to Advanced Airbrush in Sydney to work with Wayne Harrison assisting with one of his workshops and working on a Kenworth Truck.
All in all it's been an exciting and crazy week / weekend and we look forward to new and exciting projects just around the corner.
Until next time, keep on paintin'......
And to check out our work visit www.airbrushasylum.com.au or 'google' Airbrush Asylum.

A new week full of Exciting Projects.

We have been flat out here @ Airbrush Asylum, our work load so far for 2012 has been immense working on some exciting Harley projects.
We are currently working on a Chain & Skull Harley theme, which incorporates 'Live Free' with a winged skull complete with metal Bar & Shield logos, breaking free from chains which were airbrushed around the entire bike and rendered in a mix of solid sections and transparent parts. This bike will soon be complete and should definitely feature in some magazines and get attention when doing the show circuit. 
We will soon complete a custom 48 for one of our motorbike retail customers, this bike will be airbrushed with a skull and realistic flame theme, incorporating some burning Bar & Shield logos.
Apart from that we have completed some rendering on logos and some other private custom bikes which will appear soon on our website.


Feel free to visit us @ www.airbrushasylum.com.au to check out our latest work and stay tuned for new photos and videos.

World War Harley - Video.



After researching and planning this project for almost two years, the customer approached us to airbrush 10 murals on her bike. She wanted all of the murals to be rendered in B&W and over a pearl white basecoat.
The reference photos were all purchased from the Australian War Memorial and were replicated as close as possible. 
This has been our most challenging project to date, lots and lots of hours were spent carefully rendering each mural, with certain areas done using a magnifying light to ensure that all subtle details were included.
The customer was overwhelmed with the end result and I’m sure that you will see this bike at many shows. 
This bike is a reflection of what can be achieved with lots of dedication, planning and passion from the customer...Airbrush Asylum is glad to have been a part of this particular project, and hopes that the bike will continue to help everyone who sees it, to remember the diggers.
Lest we Forget....

Until next time....keep paintin'
