Aibrush Action is dedicated to the art form for all levels of skill. All users of airbrushes will find good info in every magazine. I have been airbrushing for 5 years and I have subscribed to the magazine for three. I like the publication because it has product reviews, "hands-on how to" articles, excelant trade member submisions, heads-up on new trends and finally the ppl that write the magazine are PRACTICING airbrushers.
The zine has evolved over the years and is just as hard core airbrushing as it was "way back when" as it is now. The presentation of the articles just gets a bit slicker each year. The product reveiws are honest. If somebody sends them a pice of junk then they right a nice "nasty gram" about it even if that junk is advertised in that very months issue! The editers have grit! And, if they strike gold the share the wealth, too. They are not stingy with good info.
Once a year the zine has a projecter, airbrush, aircompressor, paint product cross reference info chart. I.e. if your into this then you might want to check this configuration out. It'very handy to have. I have switched from one brand of acrylic paints to another with much appreciated results. (Both brands were good, just one had a better aplication towards what I wanted to accomplish at the time)
Any waythe skinny on this subject is: before you buy a set up if you are a novice, then buy this zine first before you spend alot of cash. If you make a living in the A.B. world then you need this publication so you can make more cash. This zine represents ppl from all areas of airbrushing, from fine art illustraters to ultra cool death metal bikes. Heck, some ppl get it just for the cool art in it.I Cannot belive how long its taking to recive this magazine. I tryed purchessing it last year by check but after 5 months of waiting I cancled the order. Now I ordered it again this time using a creditcard hopeing it would arrive sooner but here its is 2 months later and still nothing and to top it off they keep pushing back the estimated delivery date. I have to say how unhappy I am with this.You can't beat this mag. All the top Pro's giving all the right tip's, all the best news, the top shows, and much more. The industries best from all walks of airbrushing life contribute to this mag. It's really hard to top that. Product reviews, buyers guides, airbrush instruction. Everybody has been in this mag, from Olivia (many times), to most recently Hajime Sorayama. It covers everything. Automotive, T-Shirts, Illustration, Dru Blairs Total Realism, Painting models, body painting. All the products you'll need are advertised in here. You can't miss with this magazine.I have ordered this magazine for years and it does have some good articles. But be warned, they are often excerpts from videos or hocking products produced by the company. At least 75% of the mag is straight ads. It seems like they are always hocking their getaways or endless compressor/projector reviews. It reminds me of Hot Rod a lot, long on pretty pictures, light on hands on advice.
