Airbrushtech: Learn to Custom Paint and Airbrush

Airbrush-Tech-Live was launched and went online early 2006. It welcomed all artists and encouraged them to participate in the groundbreaking new media format of Digital Interactive. Airbrush-Tech-Live was created because of a need to improve over previous publications that have been geared towards teaching various art forms. In a short amount of time, the digital magazine became one of the leading places for artists to gather and became hugely popular around the world. The Digital Magazine ran strong until 2010 when it was closed due to the collapse of the custom paint & airbrushing industry.
