Truth Squad – A late eighties early nineties punk / house-music band you have certainly never heard of :
From left to right Andrew Woolf (a very good friend of mine who is a brilliant musician with many bands and songs to his name, and a fantastic digital artist in his own right), a very pretty young lady who was not part of the band, Ian ‘Marsdy’ Marsden (who played keyboards and provided vocals on a few tracks but basically had very little to do with the production and thankfully – for humanity! – got out of music and (back) into art very quickly after this picture was taken)

Here is a photorealistic digital airbrush painting I made based on a picture of my younger daughter Ashley.
She is wearing her eccentic, international man of mystery grandfather’s white rockstar sunglasses.

I created most of the masks in Illustrator before I started painting in Photoshop.
While I was working on this piece, I thought back to the days when I would have had to cut each mask out of Friskfilm, wait for the layers to dry, and constantly wash out my airbrushes to make sure that the colors didn’t mix. I still have several of my old airbrushes in my studio, but they are purely ornamental at this point. I love Photoshop! Who would have thought back then that one day you could do the same job, without a mask, compressor, paint, brushes, mess, and ripping your hair out if you made a mistake or if your original got lost or damaged.
