Air brush
Remember Air brush
Retro Fashion Review
Fashion Synopsis
Todd N’ Tina Forever...
Palm trees, flamingos, unicorns, hearts, and slogans of love…air brush designs became the hottest art form of the 80’s. A little paint, an air hose and nozzle, and a steady hand was all that was needed to create a masterpiece of painted perfection.
The art of air brush was exactly that: a way of painting with air. An air compressor forced air through a tube, which was attached to a bottle that held the paint and a thinning mixture. The paint came out light as air, directed onto a surface—usually a t-shirt—to paint a picture in a few moments.
Air brush had a slightly blurry look, as the colors were almost transparent before they blended with the next color, and then the next. Names and pictures on t-shirts, license plates, the back of a denim jacket...nothing could be saved from the blast of air and a fine mist of paint.
Class of '84 RULES!
