Jamie Schena's - Mechanisation exhibition Opening Night @ Gasolina this Friday night from 7pm.

Jamie Schena's exhibition, Mechanisation opens this Friday the 11th of October from 7pm @ Gasolina Bar and Restaurant in Southwharf, Melbourne Australia.

If you have any interest in cars, bikes or anything automotive then you need to check out this exhibition of incredible metal sculptures. 

Jamie's attention to detail is incredible and the replication of popular automotive objects like hot rods, drag cars, trucks and even Harley's is flawless.

The exhibition runs from the 11th - 25th October so if you can't make the opening night then I suggest you get to Gasolina at some stage to check out this exhibition.

Zombie Harley progress shots.

We have been busy working on the Zombie Harley. This involved project will showcase 8 blood thirsty zombie murals, the photos shown here are progress shots of stage 1 of the airbrushing being the white under painting. Once all of the murals have been rendered in this way colours will be added to the zombies, with progressively more detail added within each step, the backgrounds at this stage will most likely remain Black and White to really help contrast the murals and make them 'pop'.

We hope you like the pictures and progress so far, this is going to be one crazy Harley once all done.

Keep checking back to see further progress and feel free to 'contact us' if you have a Crazy idea for your Harley, Chopper, Car, hotrod etc...@ www.airbrushasylum.com.au

Phoenix Vrod Harley Tank, Part #3

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.

Check out our latest video, Skulls & Flames Harley, Forty Eight.

Skulls & Flames, need I say more…A great theme for any Harley and truly fitting on this Harley Forty Eight. This bike was airbrushed completely freehand using only freehand templates to help achieve the fire effect. All the skulls were airbrushed randomly over the first layer of flame then as the flames progressed, the skulls were airbrushed to match with flame licks coming off them to help incorporate the skulls into the fire. You will also notice that a Bar & Shield outline has been rendered on either side of the tank, some skulls have the number 48 inscribed into their skulls and a 'forty eight' banner also burns within the flames.

Hope you enjoy the video, feel free to comment, like or share and until next time, keep paintin'…

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.

This weeks projects

Another busy week @ Airbrush Asylum, worked all day today on a Harley two layer flame job. Masking up the final layer now so that the gold pinstripe flame can be airbrushed on and then its off for clear and Flowcoat with Cerami Clear (Hardest wearing clear available).


Once the Harley is done and dusted, I will be moving on to finalising a few designs for a Lion on a bonnet scoop and Guns / Portraits for an upcoming Harley project early January 2012.


It looks like we'll be airbrushing more mini skateboards over the weekend as they have been extremely popular with kids leading up to christmas.
