Airbrush Asylum wishes you a Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everyone, hope the airbrush Easter bunny has been generous. Enjoy a stack of urethane filled Easter eggs and paint plenty of Easter bunny murals ;) on second thoughts....maybe not.
Either way Happy Easter to you and you families.

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 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'......

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.

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....
