Air Affair 2007 - Salt Lake City

Airbrush fever in Utah!

The Ultimate Air Affair is a fantasy land for anyone interested in airbrush technique. Held yearly at our distributor's headquarters (ASET in Salt Lake City, Utah), is a 3-day running workshop program featuring instruction by some of the worlds top airbrush artists. Not only do attendees get the opportunity to learn from a great team of artists, (and get a first hand test-drive of Iwata Airbrushes and Artool Templates) they can also gawk and ogle at all the eye candy of work featured in the art gallery. This years artist roster at the Air Affair included:

• Craig Fraser
• Deborah Mahan
• Fonzy
• Abel
• Dean Loucks
• Bob Soroka
• Gerald Mendez
• Bones
• Steve Vandemon
• Jason Doll
• Ron Gibbs
• Ryno Templeton
• Mike Lavallee
• Dennis Mathewson
• Steve Driscoll
• Paul Quinn
• Pamela Shanteau
• 

Sherri Candland of ASET does a fantastic job of organizing the event. Even though the focal point of Air Affair is the learning and interaction with the artists themselves, Sherri also puts out quite the food and beverages spread coupled with her own special blend of down-home hospitality. There are also various vendor booths and freebies available to attendees! But the grand finale at at the end of the Air Affair ,is the raffle featuring some killer donations by both vendors and artist instructors. In my opinion, one of the best raffle prizes is a custom painted and signed panel by all of the artist instructors! Definitely a one of a kind collectible.

I highly recommend anyone interested in learning more valuable airbrush techniques, no matter what the discipline, to attend Air Affair East or Air Affair Salt Lake in 2008. If you want to plan on attending at one of next years events, call Sherri direct at ASET 800-628-5449. You will not be disappointed.

Here's some pics to wet your appetite for next year! Some of these pics are courtesy of Donn and Pamela Shanteau.
