Just a funny for you

[quickchange]

Now before I tell you this.. I want you guys to know that I did not laugh and even tried to make the person feel better. After they left, well that was another thing

For those of you that work with the public you know that you will get folks in that tell you how well they airbrush and well they could do what you are doing, they just don't have the time, work, busy whatever.. Well here is one for the cake..

A few young men came the shop yesterday. They were looking around and doing the macho manly thing. I had a family member, my shirt nurse and myself in the shop so we made our hellos and can help you? The guys said they were just looking so we all went about our business.. Well then the one young man (with the slighty red eyes) declares that he bought an airbrush last week and he was doing pretty good with it and thought he could do everything he was seeing in my shop. "Well, I exclaimed, that is wonderful", "you must be very talented". He puffs up and turns to the counter at that time I started to ask him about his airbrush and he proceeds to miss the counter with his coke and drop it on the floor. Coke went everywhere mostly on him and the floor (thank goodness). He just lost it.LOL poor thing. He said he was sorry and did attempt to wipe it up very quickly as his buds had already exited and left him alone. He was so embarassed he did not want to talk all he wanted to do was get out of there, saying I'm sorry all the way out the door. Geez and we did not even giggle.. Oh well, maybe he won't be so puffed up the next time.

Sigh.. Man he must be really gifted if he has had the airbrush for a week and already can make paint come out, knows the air pressure adjustments, has the right paint, can make images, do lines and letter. Such talent, I think am a bit green..
LOL

how old did you say that they was

[quickchange]

Oh didn't say.. Don't know..my guess 18 to 20.

I have had guys from teen to much older come in and tell me that they just started airbrushing and they are really good..that they can do everything I do.

I just try to be nice about it. I am sure in their world they are king.
Life is just funny if you let it be. This incident was just a bit more funny than usual because the poor kid embarrassed himself all by himself.

My friend used to load up a shirt and ask the guy(usually it was a guy) and ask for quick lesson, something simple with a name on it. You know theirs a crowd when the fool wants to sput off but they always walk away.

I think that the customer gain a couple of years after dropping his coke or did he lose a couple of years

Well if it makes you guys feel better...I guess I am just the opposite...I walk in say I have an airbrush and look for help...If I see a guy who can do letters, I am envious...

I was in the local paint shop, buying stuff to fix a spot on my car...I also so some HOK paints that they were liquidating (not sure why...it was just a few colors)...so I picked up a couple and some reducer...then the guy at the counter asked why I was buying them...I told him I was going to airbrush something and figured I could use some of the colors (if nothing else for practice)...anyway, he asked me how much to charge to do a large skull graphic on the hood...I had to tell him that I wasn't that good...it was a hard pill to swallow, but I don't think it would have been as hard if I had FUBAR'd his hood...

Humility, does not come easy for the young, and many young adults today are not humble in the least, as well as some unwise old folks too. Most individuals become humble in later years when we finally realize that no matter how much we have learned in life there is always much we do not know. To be the Master of any art one has to be humble enough to know we can always learn from others no mater how good are artistic skills are.

If your coke dropping friend one day realizes this, then he will have taken the first step to being the skilled artist his boasting professes him to be.

I have been painting with oils for over 11 years but still am an artist in training. The great thing about knowledge is there is always more to learn. Like AirBrushing, I’m still a newbie at AB art.
