Airbrushing and Restoration


Just wanted to post a sample up here dealing with part of my job description. This is an airbrush job I did for a close friends birthday quite some time back. I'll post a restoration as soon as I have time to restore all backups to my computer. Should anyone be interested in services - feel free to PM or e-mail me. emoticon Prices vary by job.

Thanks NNW. emoticon It's not just a mere job for me, it's a passion! I *love* being able to do this for people - it's such a gift to see the smiles on the faces of those who's precious memories I've been able to restore. Haven't had a complaint yet. emoticon

Wow, Cygnus, very nice work!!
I love doing photo-touching as well, but I must bow to the master here, what a great touch you have and what a natural-looking result! Super! :D

Boh - that coming from another artist is indeed a great compliment. emoticon
And, as all artists know - it takes four things to perfect any masterpiece ...
time, patience, skill and an absolute passion for what you do.

I occasionally pull out the sketch pads, charcoals, paints and all the other necessities -
but I'm *nowhere* near as talented as you are in that area.

Oh, and by the way ... I'm still giggling over your avatar. emoticon

Nice work, Cyg!

I am having to make lawyers look good lately at work... I may need your help!

I love the antique photos... nice nice job on that, it still looks old, but will now be preserved.

Ummm ... : emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon (Sorry, this isn't a personal attack on the firm you're employed with - but simply a reaction to a few really bad experiences I've had with a few attorneys that shall remain nameless). Oh dear. *Bubbling with mirth*. Ok. Now that I've got THAT out of my system *giggles* ... just e-mail me with what you need and I'll give you an estimate (this would be charged to the business account, yes?). Either way - my fees are much more reasonable than what most charge.

ANYWAY - as for the old restored photo still looking old, oddly enough - I've never received a request for colorizaton or to make an old photograph look new. Another thing that most restoration artists are not capable of is if the crease is going through the face - in particular, the eye - forget it. In *most* cases, I can do this, though I'll admit - there have been a few where it has been impossible.
