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 :

Airbrush Asylum @ MotorEx 2014

A busy day airbrushing a skateboard on the House of Kolor and Anest Iwata trade stands today at the Meguiars MotorEx auto show in Melbourne.

The zombie artwork was completed in approximately 6 hours, rendered using House of Kolor base coats and Kandies and airbrushed using my Iwata CM-C and various other Iwata airbrushes.

We also had a chopper unveiled which we will put in another blog post, showcasing the theme and photos.

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.

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
