After applying tats all day long my fingers would look like I had been working in the garden all day long and forgotten to wash my hands. This was embarrassing enough but being away from home and having to go to a restaurant and eat dinner afterward was even more so. Some of the looks [...]

A few years ago, while I was still a potter, I got an airbrush gun and a compressor. I had spoken with some fellow artists who were using an airbrush gun to give their glazes a new look. I thought it would be fun to try something new so I made the big purchase for [...]

I just wanted to let you know that we now have airbrush cleaning brushes available at TAT International for $3.97 or $2.97 for MVP’s. Wow, what a deal! You get five different size brushes on one ring. I was told to caution you against using the smallest brush to clean out the nozzle of your [...]
