I bought this from a street vendor in Mexico in '03. He paints them in about 10 minutes, I'd love to learn how.


Speaking of space, love & Mexico, download "Carlos" by Havalina Rail Co. Here. A nice Bossa Nova-esque number sung by Mercedes

pretty cool for 10 minutes. It looks like airbrush on some parts?

Duncan said...

That's really kind of cool. Did you see him make it?

PJS said...

Caleb: yeah, it's mostly airbrush

Duncan: This one was already made, it happened to be my favourite of his. I did see him make a few though. They all looked really different. There's an endless amount of possibilities, once you learn the basics. He also did some underwater sci-fi stuff.

Duncan said...

Did he use brushes or an air brush? or a combination of both?

PJS said...

both. It was quite a flurry of action.

The funny thing was, he was so laid back & nonchalant, like he could do it in his sleep.

That's awesome, a trip to Mexico for me I think and I bet ya he hardly charged anything too?
I've got to get my compressor working again and try that.
