Scarface Chopper unveiled @ MotorEx 2014

A project that we recently completed, the Scarface Chopper owned by Alex Grozdanoski was unveiled at this years Meguiars MotorEx. With a show packed full of Custom cars and bikes it was an honour to have some of our artwork unveiled on this one of a kind custom chopper.
The theme for this bike was clear and it was basically a homage to Alex's favourite cult classic 'Scarface' and airbrushing some murals of Al Pacino, as his famed character Tony Montana was a perfect fit.

Even without any airbrushing or custom paint, this chopper is insane. And once Alex had the frame and tins all custom painted with a silver metal flake and finished off with a House of Kolor Pagan Gold, he then brought it to us to work on selecting the best reference material for his murals, one to go on the tank and the other on the huge rear fender. As well as the murals we also added some lettering, two of his favourite quotes from the movie "Everyday above ground is a good day" and "I always tell the truth, even when I lie"which really finished off the theme and tribute to the movie.

Scroll down to see a collection of photos taken at the show and to check out more of our artwork feel free to visit us at :

RIP HR Giger

RIP HR Giger...You were the most incredible airbrush artist, sculptor and visionary, your style and skill were often copied yet never matched.

You are the reason that I picked up an airbrush. After seeing your work

In Giger's Alien, I was amazed and excited about the possibilities of the airbrush.

In 2008 I was fortunate enough to visit Museum HR Giger in Gruyere, which is still to this day one of my most memorable experiences.

Airbrush Asylum moves into our new Venue.

We are excited to be moving Airbrush Asylum into a factory tomorrow, with more space and a better layout we can work on larger projects and offer more classes, events and a better retail experience.

We look forward to welcoming our existing clients and look forward to an exciting year filled with lots of unique projects.

We will post pictures and progress of the new setup as it unfolds.

Until next time...thanks for reading and keep paintin'

Vikings Harley

Check out the following pictures of the Viking Harley recently completed. 

The customer is a huge fan of the hit TV series 'Vikings' therefore we worked the theme around that concept.

The front fender is by far the most detailed mural, showcasing Ragnar the main character from Vikings with the Viking emblem and some ghosted real fire trailing off the mural. 

The Tank has two Viking warriors peering from behind a shield which has Harley Davidson carved into the timber. 

The Rear Fender has a mural of a Viking ship travelling through rough seas in the midst of a lightning storm.

We hope that you enjoy the pictures, some artwork is shown before and after clear and I have also included some step by steps.

Airbrushed Vans shoes with a mural of a Ford XP Ute.

Late last year we were commissioned to complete a mural of a Ford XP Ute on either side of a pair of Vans skate / street shoes. The mural was rendered as accurately as possible, completely freehand from a reference photo supplied by the customer.

These shoes are proof that...anything can be airbrushed, although most of our work is automotive related, focusing heavily on Harley's and Custom mototorcycles...Even a pair of shoes can be rendered  to become a one off piece of art that can even be worn!

We hope you like the end result and if you have something unusual that you would like airbrushed then feel free to contact us via our website -

Airbrushed Heath Ledger / Joker, 16x20 inch Canvas.

This particular artwork was completed late last year, for a client who's partner absolutely loves Heath Ledger and the Joker, therefore it was decided that the artwork should reflect this and with the help of the client we merged 3 different images together on Photoshop, to create the reference for this particular artwork. The painting was created using different tones of grey and black with some white highlights and only a hint of colour on the Jokers lips. We hope you like the pictures of the completed artwork, if you wish to commission a painting similar to this or you would like to check out what else we can airbrush, then feel free to visit our website :

Chucky half tank complete, ready for clear.

We have been busy working on some exciting new half tanks, which will be mounted on one of our display stands located in Motorcycle dealers in Melbourne.

This particular tank has a Chucky theme, the evil doll that starred in the hit horror classic 'Childs Play'. The mural itself took many hours rendering all of the gashes and stitches in his face and the fabric on his jumper and outfit. After the Chucky mural was complete, we masked up him and the skull and began sketching out the stretched skin and ribs that will frame the murals, the skin alone took nearly 1 day to complete.

Check out the photos of the completed artwork below, we hope you like the end result and if you are interested in getting your Harley, motorbike or chopper custom painted or airbrushed, then feel free to contact us - airbrushasylum.com.au
