<p>I first discovered the art of airbrushing by sneaking looks at those old pin-ups hanging on the walls in auto repair shops and work site break rooms. Varga girls. Old calendars. Of course as a boy I thought I wanted to learn how to do that. I was inspired&#8230;</p>

<p class="p1">This was my first real airbrush illustration job. Not exactly a pin-up. I had airbrushed other things before like flames on cars and all kinds of things on motorcycle gas tanks and helmets, but more as a hobby until this assignment in 1988 or so. Video Treasure Chest, a point of sale scratch-off game for now pretty non-existent video stores. It was still just VCRs back then. Maybe they will come back someday like vinyl records. Right after the 8 track tape revival.</p>
<p class="p1">Anyway, then I got the fever for it. I got better at it. I was an airbrushing machine. I painted anything and <em>on</em> everything. I even painted a neighbor&#8217;s baby bump so she could surprise her doctor for Halloween. Scandalous! I knew then I had a problem. See the scene of the crime below:</p>

I was caught orange-handed.</figcaption></figure>
<p class="p1">Anyway, Photoshop eventually replaced most conventional airbrushing for print media and I have been rehabilitated, but I still do it on some art for backgrounds and large areas. Who knows, maybe I&#8217;ll do some pin-ups next&#8230;</p>
