Monty Python Fun @ UK Masterclass

August 2008; Fraser, Vandemon & Curtis goofing around at the photo shoot in Worthing, England in between teaching airbrush & pinstriping classes.

I had such a fantastic time (says Beej) in Worthing with the Craig n Steve, they were a real blast and we had a lot in common with our crazy sense of humour! We spent a side-splitting evening in the Chinese Restaurant sending text messages quoting Viz magazine expletives across the Atlantic! Hehe . . brilliant fun and best of all - learning the sign language for 'Bulls**t' as demonstrated clearly by Fraser. Hehe! Thanks for that Sanjay :)

Apart from the Python referenced, squeaky-voiced, Terry Jones impersonations and Eddie Izzard references . . we DID actually do some airbrushing, pinstriping and teaching in between! The class spanned 6 days Monday - Saturday and everyone agreed when clearing up our rooms at the college on Saturday evening, that it had been an incredible, creative experience and the students (as was I actually!) were a bit low that it was at an end. Stu, from the Airbrush Centre who hosted the event this year said, 'It's like when you have to pack up at the end of a really cool, fun-packed holiday and leave all your mates. Nobody wants to home!'

Well, the good new is that 2009 will bring 2 Masterclasses to the UK with Beej and hopefully, one of those classes will again feature the fun-packed and talented crew of Craig Fraser, Steve Vandemon & Beej Curtis together again but this time, we will be possibly be taking the tour to House of Kolor so 'watch this space buddy . . !

The standard of the attending students was simply outstanding. I get asked a this question a lot by those considering to book a class: 'Do you have to be good at art to learn how to airbrush?' and the simple answer is - no. Airbrushing is a style of illustration that can be learned, like signwriting is a trade you can be taught with no prior artistic knowledge. Of course, you'll benefit greatly if you are artistic in some way already, obviously, but we can teach you the basics and the fundamentals it is up to you what you do with those skills and some achieve incredible results after only 2 or 3 days learning at our classes.

We are currently holding an Airbrush and Art Workshop in November 2008 in St Mawes, Cornwall and only have a couple of places left. If you would like to learn more about airbrush art then this class is for you! check the links on the right for Workshops or click HERE
