it was estimated at 2 weeks to do this airbrushing, it took 2 years

 

and then, they made a model of it.... and duplicated the airbrushing, just a LOT smaller!

I kid you not, the only obstacle in my way, to finding and posting incredible things for you all to enjoy, is either looking for a better job (all weekend long) or being at a job I don't like (at least the last 5 years since Covid shut down the coolest job I ever had) : Here's titmouseinc (an animation company) and the murals around the vans in the lobby

the cool as hell paint on the wall is by https://muralpainterinc.com/featured-work/

Next to these vans, on the other side of the wall with the mural paint... are these rooms:

consider these people, who are the management in Hollywood at TitmouseInc...  https://titmouse.net/work/

A wonderful group of scallywags I am certain, and if you look at the incredible work they've done... Love Death and Robots, Star Trek Lower Decks, Spiderman Across the Spiderverse, Scavengers Reign,

To see how Galpin / Dave Shuten crafted the van into thin wall mount cuts, and how the custom stuff was added on, see https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10159372662544894&set=a.261154639893 

1939 Craftsman tool catalog (and I've never seen the amber handled tools) with great airbrushing

this booth was perfectly set up for airbrushing, it impresses the hell out of me

Packed just right, everything fits inside the drums! Unpacked, and the drum provides advertising of the artists caliber of work, and a flat top to lay out supplies on

 

it's always intriguing to see what variation on a theme artists will create.

 

Most of the airbrushing booths that used to be at SEMA quit returning, but Anest Iwata is still there!

 

Damn, I bet the last couple generations do not even know what Spy vs Spy was. 

they had a painting competition of paint and body work sanders in some booth in the west hall, I can't recall what one... artists came up with some innovative stuff

I'm impressed by the terrific airbrushed painting on this van!
