Goalie Mask Airbrushing Process: Step 1

Time lapse of me airbrushing a Tee for a good friend of mine whose big on japanese artwork. Been a while since I broke out the airbrush so I figured why not record it. The signature at the end is “KOS” on the side, there arent any real chinese characters in there. Hope you enjoy. This vid also features a beat I made called “Madness”.

This is a paint job I did a while back, please note the backplate has been clear coated while the mask has still to be shot with clear.

This is a t-shirt I did for myself for a 1960′s themed party. Decided on Star Trek subject because this was one of my favorite episode back in those days. Airbrush on t-shirt is quite challenging and allot of fun. I often do similar airbrush projects for myself for fun and to keap techniques as sharp as possible, especially after working on some projects that require allot of masking…or very little free hand work. I decided to share with you some images of various steps to create this shirt. The challenging part of this T was to work over a blue background while getting the correct skin tones. I use masks around the main subject to protect the shirt from overspray.

I got hired to make the masks for St. Joseph’s University’s Phantom of the Opera. As they prepared for tech, they came back and asked me to create his latex makeup appliance also. I had very little time to make this, so I had to do it with slip cast liquid latex. Foam latex would have made a much better appliance, but I needed to pop these out in just a couple of days. In this video you see me sculpting the appliance, casting the negative mold in plaster, pouring the slip latex, removing the pull, trimming the flashing, mixing the color and painting it using the same Kryolan Aquacolor makeup the actor would apply to the rest of his face for a seamless blend between the appliance and his skin. Kryolan Aquacolor is great for latex because there is no change in pigmentation from latex to skin. Cream based makeups need to be applied to latex that has been sealed with castor oil so the pigment will blend. There’s no need to seal the latex when using Kryolan Aquacolor, which can also be diluted to work through an airbrush. If you’d like any custom made masks, makeup appliances, puppets, or just about anything else email me at jay@tribeoffools.org so we can talk about your project. The music I used is The Grudge by Tool from their album Lateralus. If you don’t have it yet (and I don’t know why you wouldn’t) you need to buy it here: www.amazon.com

Part 3 of painting a latex alien mask

This is a sculpture I did for a Motorcycle this year, It is a “Phantom” theme with the phantom at the top and the souls coming out of the robe… Will be molded and cast in a very hard plastic.

Photoshop tutorial where I explain a bit about layer masks, and how to work with them. I show you how to use them to isolate an effect on an image such as color! Stock photo by alex27: www.sxc.hu
