not model related but most certainly AB related... here ya go MikeV

nice self-protrait there Jeff!!LOL on a more serious note, VERY impressive set up you got there!! sometimes i miss the T-shirt buisiness, not that i was ever real heavy into it. i had a VL and a couple of bottles i got for christmas when i was 15. ended up doin' a couple a murals for a local photographer, i did another mural for my junior prom that was done on 2 king-sized sheets stretched over a 1x4 frame. then, i did the obligatory "Senior Class Of" balony for a couple of classes, made some really good money for a teenager too!! in all, i probably done close to 500 T-shirts for money, and the 2 murals for the photographer. the people provided the T-shirts, i charged a measily $12 bucks a pop. but hey, when i got my stencils and templates cut out (which was the most time consuming), i could pump out several in an hour. i didn't know you were getting into the buisiness. good luck with it friend. keep us posted. later.

Pretty cool Jeff.

Thanks for sharing that.

Mike

Thanks mike.

Yeah Salty its what I do now. My main source of income, which really puts the pressure on ya to make more business of drown. I do a flea market on the weekends but really the contatcs I make form there are making me the business. The job I had that got me the above equipment was a construction owner had 30 shirts done for his crew, and some family stuff. I also have a huge birthday party coming up in a couple of monthes that will be 50 shirt on an hourly salary heh. Thanks for the kind words bro.... now about that AM Stang you got sittin around not done....
Jeff

Some.... Color????

That's cool Jeff.
My son wants to buy a motorcycle and he wants me to airbrush something like this on the tank:


I better get practicing. [:0]

Mike

Ahhh Fantasy art of Jeff Easly (sp). I know what ya mean, last weekend at the swapmeet a guy wanted me to squirt his bikes fenders with 'realistic" flames. Guess I better get some HOK and another ab . Now to learn how to make flames!!!

Jeff, that is a sweet lookin' monster you're painting bubba!! just hold your horses, i fetched the AM Stang and hobby tools from storage today and all i'm lacking is a CO2 bottle and set up for the airbrush. i can't wait to get started again.

man, i used to draw quite a bit, and would like to get back into it again. i've always been scared of color though. it just looks to confusing to add in all the color. i wonder how many shades of red are in the painting you showed Mike? thats cool lookin' eh?!!

Holy, that's quite a setup there!!
Hehe, MikeV, if you learn to AB that, I'll be the next customer in line. Now hopefully no one will recognize it as the Dungeons and Dragons cover

I could paint it.

Actually this is the picture my son wants:


Mike

Well this is the finished example....


Was fun and had a couple jobs in the middle of it so it pretty stretched out going on and off the board, but I have really good shirts so it hung in there. This is own shirt for self advertisement... had an offer for $60 for it. I don't really wanna sell this one so I am going to make another one for sale.
Jeff

DUMMY!!! you're in the T-shirt SELLING buisiness!!! sell it and paint you another one some other time!! you can't become attached to your product my friend, you gotta turn it loose.

a very nice job on the shirt Jeff!! excellent job indeed. later.

Nice job with the tshirt. really clean line work and very little overspray from what I can tell.
