| My name is Les Fabian and I make my living airbrushing. I fell into this quite by accident actually. I collected comics and decided to see if I could create and publish my own. I got some books and started to learn to draw. I decided it was just a bit too hard but when people saw my drawings and wanted them on their bikes, I thought I could give it a try as i didnt like what i was doing at the time. I had autobody experience and all I had to do was buy an airbrush. It was pretty frustrating at first but it worked out pretty well and the rest is history. There are some artists that never fail to amaze me. Royo was the major factor in getting me to try painting. Sorayama is an amazing artist that keeps me pushing harder everytime i see one of his works. Jim Lee from the comic world takes the credit for me wanting to learn to draw in the first place. Julie Bell is another artist that gave me a wake up call to start painting. |
Obviously, comics play a major influence for me. It's not often I get to cut loose as the client decides the subject but most of time I try to incorporate the things I like when I can. Also, I always try to keep the themes fun and stay away from grim and serious themes. I love sci-fi and military stuff and painting is a good way to express this. I dont paint on canvas ever. I find alot of satisfaction painting a person's bike or helmet or help transform someone's project into something they are proud of. I like working with the client and hammering out some idea we both like. If anyone has any questions about airbrushing, or thinking about learning to do it, feel free to email me and i would be glad to help out in any way i can. If you can draw, you can airbrush. And sometimes you dont even have to know how to draw. Some of my other interests here. Cheers. |
