Finally!  Big Daddy has the cover art for Issue #27 of Airbrush Technique Magazine.  This piece was painted on 20"x30" Illustration board with Autoborne Black, Autoborne White, and AutoAir Trans Red Oxide and Trans Yellow.  I had well over 30 hours of paint time in this project.  Needless to say, by the time I was done, I was pretty sick of painting skulls and bones!  It's been a 3 1/2 year journey in the airbrush world, but I finally made it.

Thomas "Big Daddy" Banks was a featured Artist in Issue #25 of Airbrush Technique Magazine.  The article is titled "Living The Dream" and focuses on how I got started into airbrushing, and the evolution of The Airbrush Roadshow.  Also included in this issue, a How-To article on painting a skateboard and let's not forget that the back cover art is a hood that I painted during the Airbrush Roadshow at Sentinal Career Center.

Big Daddy's Fire!  You guessed it!  One of the things that I'm known for is painting fire.  In this issue, I show how to paint fire the quick and easy way....oh, and let's not forget the fire skulls as well!

Got Technique?  In this issue, I cover the basics of 3 dimensional lettering.  Nice, quick and easy techniques for the novice airbrush artist.

Big Daddy is published again!  This time featured in AirBrush Technique Magazine, issue # 22.  I've been asked to produce several beginner-level "How-To" articles covering a broad range of techniques.  This issue covers the easy, beginner friendly technique of woodgraining.  It's amazing how realistic you can make this illusion, with so little effort.

Big Daddy is published again!  This time featured in AirBrush Technique Magazine, issue # 21.  The etched metal and candy look is so classy and unique, I just had to do an article on it.  I was able to combine many of the things I love most into this one piece of art.

I Combined etched metal, sandblasting, and candy paint with a tribal crest and just a big 'ol pile of skulls. It is something that I really got into.  There are 50 skulls piled on this panel, and had over 35 hours of work to complete.

The Road Queen was also featured in AirBrush Technique Magazine, issue # 19 in a 3 page layout on realistic fire painting techniques.  The "Porn Fire" Harley Davidson is a stock 2007 Harley Davidson Road King, AKA "Road Queen"  The Road Queen is owned by Angela Isabella, from Pittsburgh, PA.  When Angela bought the bike, she road it directly from the dealership to my shop for paint.  It was a stock black Road King.  In less than 72 hours, it was transformed into the "Road Queen" and driven away.
