New Airbrush Art Class Dates


For those of you who are new to Organic Image this year, Beej Curtis has been painting professionally for 28 years and has produced 1000's of images, murals, signs, tattoo designs, backdrops, airbrush and advertising art, digital 3D and Adobe Photoshop + Illustrator art and illustrations for some prestigious companies and international clients.

For the past 6 years Beej has focused his airbrush on Kustom Paint and Automotive Airbrushing which has won him some prestigious awards including ranking 3rd recently in the world for the True Fire Flame painting competition judged by Mike Lavallee of Killer Paint in the USA (True Fire DVD's, Overhaulin', Rides, Monster Garage, Miami Ink)

Beej has been imparting his knowledge in Airbrush Art Classes for the last 4 years and before this taught 1st and 2nd Year Students at Poole College of Art and Design. In August last year he taught along-side 2 of the world's best known airbrush artists and pinstripers - Craig Fraser & Steve Vandemon from California - at Worthing College for the 6 Day UK/USA Masterclasses which was amazing fun and such a fantastic experience.

'I'm not gonna profess that I am the best at what I do or that I am more qualified than anyone else here in the UK or anywhere else for that matter,' says Beej this week when asked about his airbrush classes, 'There are some incredible artists in the UK and Europe, that is for sure, and I respect others' creative ability. But I love teaching, I love talking to folks and imparting the knowledge I have gained from the last 28 years of professional career in Art and Design and I promise all students a very relaxed atmosphere, good fun, focused and personal tuition tailored to each individual!'

International Students Welcome. We have now taught students from Taiwan, Ohio, Poland, Sweden, South Africa and of course, Ireland, Scotland England & Wales.
