Description

At least how I vaguely remember it from my 1950s automobiles. Fourth in a series of airbrush art I used while seeking a technical illustrator/graphics artist job/jobs way back in the 20th century. This, along with several others, was done in the early 1950s, applied on art board, using a real airbrush with thin paints, attached to either a compressed air tank or to a motorized air compressor. I doubt if many of you were around back then to participate in or witness this art genre. The above was executed not only with an airbrush alone, but also using plastic templates and masks. A steady hand and a delicate touch was the name of the game. Mankind does not live by computer alone.

I'm only back for a short time tonight, so I can't do one of my normal long sessions yet; but I wanted to do some more of these beautiful airbrush pieces you've posted. Not that your other work isn't worth my time---I'll get to them in my next 'real' session (ie, long)---but since I urged you to post these for so many years, I owe it to you to comment on them all. This one is simpler than most of the others, and yet you show total understanding of how light plays across a straight surface, and how shadow and reflections make bands of differing intensities, darknesses, etc. It's wonderfully done, with the natural grain that airbrushing gives, so that the muffler stands out almost as a jewel---not something we'd normally think of, related to mufflers. But "jewel" happening here. Beautifully and meticulously done, Harry. Boy is it great to see these.
