Las Vegas Airbrush Getaway with Dru Blair and Jason Dunn

As some of you may know I just got back from my Airbrush Getaway Class with Dru Blair in Las Vegas.  I have been a fan of Dru Blair's photo realistic style of art for years.  When I found out he was going to be in Las Vegas for an intro to photorealism class I jumped at the chance.

Every year Airbrush Action Magazine puts on a series of classes for airbrush artists or for any artist for that matter.  These are held at various locations and for a small fee you can spend four days in a class and learn everything from photorealism art, automotive airbrushing, pin-up airbrushing to t-shirts art and so on.  These are great!  It gives you a chance to Brush Up on your skills or just hang out in Las Vegas with some like minded artists from all over the world.

Dru Blair's airbrush class is a favorite and man did I get my moneys worth.  Dru is a fun teacher who likes to keep the momentum flowing with humor and an over all wonderful spirit about art and the business.  I was surprised to see so many  newbies in this class and  the fact that they were getting good results as well with the work  will attest  to  Dru and his lovely assistant  Mel's  style of teaching.  We covered many  terms on lighting and  equipment used and spent grueling hours  mixing  colors from 9 am to almost 2 in the morning most nights.  I can't wait to get out to his school in South Carolina and pursue this education further.  Plus I cant wait to offer the results of my education and add some of these techniques in all my different mediums of art to you guys.

Anyone considering taking his classes should save up the money and go!  Whether you are just a hobbyist or do art for a career.  Like I always say, learn from the best first and proper education is priceless!  Here is a link to Dru's site. www.drublair.com By the way, tell um Jason Dunn sent you and I'd love to see the results you get out of the school.
 

Jason Dunn and Five Finger Death Punch in Tattoo Magazine!

Hello Friends! It's been a while since my last post.  So I thought I would share this with you.  Yours Truly, Jason Dunn was mentioned in the latest issue of Tattoo Magazine November 2008 issue 231.  Tattoo magazine features the band Five Finger Death Punch this month.  As many of you might know, the guitar player Zoltan from the metal band 5FDP and I have been good friends for years.  I tattooed his lower arms years ago and now these tattoos are starting to get some recognition these days due to the bands success.

Here's a bit of what Zoltan had to say:  "I have the flame with the wheel of dharma that covers my full forearm, and I have the same thing on  both arms.  Each was a nine-hour , twenty-four-needle torture, which a friend of mine named Jason Dunn in Ontario, California, did.  He used to own a shop, but now I think he paints choppers.  He's a great artist."

Is that cool or what?  However we'll give Z a pass for not looking at my site in a while, he must be busy taking care of all those new metal groupies.  As we all know I am slingin ink daily! And painting for your pleasure!  Plus they did spell my name wrong in the article, but hey...  Who cares, right?  I am just grateful to have some of my work on some cool people and sprawled across the pages of Tattoo Magazine.

Make sure you go out and get a copy today!  Who know's maybe someday you'll see more of my work in one of these magazines
