Brain and Neuron Harley, progress so far.

One of our most involved projects to date since we airbrushed the World War Harley.

The pictures shown depict only the background so far. The neurons have been drawn freehand and then cut using an xacto knife on application tape which we wrapped all of the parts in, so that it would act as masking.

Now that all of the neurons have been completed and rendered, each part will now receive a blue candy as chosen by the customer, this will tint all of the artwork that you see here with a blue tinge and give the effect that the neurons are trapped within the base Colour of the bike.

After the completion of the Candy the next step is to airbrush all of the other murals which will make up the foreground.

Thanks for reading and to check out more of our artwork or organize us to quote your project then feel free to visit us at www.airbrushasylum.com.au

Until next time......keep paintin'

The Long Room body painting for Harvey Norman and Map Coffee.





The night was a great success, with many of the representatives from both companies blown away by the body paint.

The two girls were airbrushed in a total of approx 3 hours with Wes & Myself working on different aspects of the designs on both girls.

Both designs were based on Body suits, with the Harvey Norman logos on the Blue background and also within the 'Bangs' on the girls arm & leg. Map Coffee received a Black bodysuit with Italian Maps airbrushed to represent a pattern in the material, Map coffee logos and even a cup of hot coffee airbrushed on the models back.

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.

Completed projects and things to come.

We have now completed the illustration of the planes on the aluminium composite panel. The artwork consisted of 3 planes in total, two of which were the Merlin and the Hawkeye planes which we originally airbrushed. Reproducing the actual murals that we airbrushed on the planes at a much smaller scale, where the owl mural was a total height of 3cm and the Merlin and Hawkeye no larger than 6cm, it was really challenging to paint them accurately and include all of the detail.

Another recent completion was the Vrod front and rear fender, which completed the original artwork that we did ...the Phoenix Vrod tank. The artwork was real fire over a limited edition Harley Grind paint scheme. We airbrushed feathers burning within the flames which related back to the original Phoenix.

We have many more exciting projects starting soon, one of which a completely themed Harley extremely involved as far as artwork is concerned it will be based around a Brain and Neuron theme.

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

Freddy Krueger Chopper Pictures.







Here are some pictures of the recently completed Freddy Krueger Chopper. The artwork was airbrushed freehand using references supplied by the customer, we airbrushed the real fire to interact with the murals and to act as a border whilst keeping with the Krueger theme.

Feel free to check out all of the pix of the Freddy Chopper @ our website :

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, 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.

Another big week coming up for Airbrush Asylum.

We are currently finishing off a large amount of panels which we have recently painted & should all be complete by Wednesday.
Once they have been collected, it's then onto a MDF key cut out which will be airbrushed with a B&W portrait and some birthday wishes.
We are also finalizing some layouts before working on an aluminum panel, completing some detailed aircraft artwork as part of an illustration.
Upon completing all of this work we will then move onto finishing our display stands with airbrushed half tanks and deliver them to the waiting stores to further promote our artwork.
We will also be working on further updates for our website and Part 3 of our Phoenix Vrod Harley Tank video will also need to be completed and uploaded to our YouTube channel.

PLAYBOY midsummer Nights Dream, after the big event.


We were lucky enough to be a part of the Playboy Midsummer Nights event held @ the docklands, Melbourne on June 8th 2012.

Wayne Harrison & the team from Advanced Airbrush / Flesh Air were flying down from Sydney to airbrush about 70 girls starting at approx 1pm and completing all the body paint by 6pm, so that the girls could be photographed and prepare for the party. 

Not surprisingly Wayne & the crew needed a hand, so they asked myself (Airbrush Asylum), Wes Edwards (Airstryke) & Shane Parker to help airbrush the massive number of girls.

It was a fantastic event, with everyone completing all the girls in record time, check out the pix and see how the night unfolded into one Epic event.

Check out all the pix on our website using the link provided :

This weeks projects & a sign of things to come.

Getting closer to the end of the week and currently working on some exciting projects.

As you may or may not know, we have Part 1 of our Phoenix Vrod Harley Tank video up and running for a few weeks now and its getting some really positive feedback, Part 2 is almost done and will be uploaded soon. Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date with all of our latest Vids.

Our Airbrush work has been really busy, we are currently working on a zombie themed half tank which should be done in the next couple of days. Once complete, we will begin working on another half tank which will be vampire themed...lots of fun.

The Old Skool Milk Can is about half way through, with some colours and details that still need to be added before it gets sent off for clear.

If all goes to plan, we should have a couple of tanks and guards being delivered Friday, which I believe will be airbrushed with some skulls.

So currently there is plenty on the cards for the next week or two.
