DEAN ''WALLY WILINSKI

Name: Dean “Wally” Willinski

WALTER CUETO

I was accepted to Art & Design where, at the time, we had to take four periods of art. I fell in love with the airbrush and never put it down since 1988. Fast forward to today, and I continue my education, I attempt to take yearly airbrush classes, in order to improve and grow.

Marcia IJzerman

At eighteen I wanted to become a sculptor, but I didn’t feel ‘artsy’ enough and turned to a career in the office. Ten years later I studied as a make-up artist on the side and tried my first bodypainting. It would take six more years to get to my first contest, but that seeded the spark of the bodypaint virus. Your model is like a three-dimensional canvas (no disrespect!) and that’s how my brain likes to perceive art, I guess. Like a sculptor.

I.L Airbrushing

I was first inspired by airbrushing when I was 16 and saw HR Giger and Boris Vallejo’s work.

SHOCKING TAE

Working on pinstriping keeps me mindful, focused, and calm by the time I'm done with my art, I get a lot of energy from my work. It makes me want to keep doing it again and again.

STEF'S PINSTRIPES

My name is Stefanie Lizet Murga, aka “Stef”.

CUSOUT

Every piece of my art is made from inspiration. I have a passion to try new things using various techniques on different objects besides canvas. I like to paint on clothes, helmets and shoes which is different to what I was taught in the art program at tertiary level.

My Experiences with Coloured Pencil Art

Twisted

My name is Jack Campbell, a.k.a Twisted. I have been in the custom painting industry for 17 years. My interest for it began when I was around 14 and was introduced to a group of guys who all had bagged mini trucks and blazers and I immediately became obsessed.

Shannon Watts

I love that my marker rendering connects with people. The art sparks conversation about people's memories, they emotionally connect with the car or bike and then a drawing gives them the chance to share their memories.

East Coast Airbrush

Andy de Bruin

I am a graphics artist living in the Netherlands. I'm a self-taught artist and I've done a lot in the field of 3D modeling and printing. Until 3 years ago I had never done anything like drawing, painting or let alone airbrushing.
