Airbrushing 101

$30.00


Airbrushing 101 is the final tape in the JC Trilogy and teaches you all you need to know about creating beautiful airbrush graphics. Hosted by John Carper expect to learn the tricks to spraying flames, sunbursts, and other advanced graphics like Falsa  (painting to look like balsa wood) and also how to master the art of using paint pens.

Veteran airbrusher Wade Easterling previously of “Gerry Lopez Surfboards” teaches the viewer what airbrushes to use, how to use them and airbrush maintenance. Watch three other top artists as they paint incredible designs and learn from them step by step.

Like the first two programs Airbrushing 101 is a surfing film and contains incredible surfing footage of the JC Hawaii team. I also  show highlights that I shot at the Quicksilver “Men Who Ride Mountains” contest at Mavericks.

An incredible soundtrack is included featuring top notch bands such as Olivia, The Lively Hearts, Fight The Bully, Skanabata and Off The Record.

Please view the trailer. Feel free to call (800) 833-0369 with questions. You will talk directly with the producer.

About the Instructor

Located on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, John Carper is considered one of the top shapers in the world. Working with many of the elite pro surfers on the ASP Tour, JC has translated high performance needs into shapes that have built him a reputation for cutting edge, core designs world-wide. His beginnings start with studying the great legendary shapers such as Greg Noll, Nat Young, Bob McTavish, Dick Brewer, Rick Irons Sr., Ben Aipa, Bill Barnfield, Rusty Preisendorfer, Pat Rawson, and Glen Minami. Adding to this, over the course of thirty years John has worked for such notable surfboard companies as Surfboards Hawaii, Lightning Bolt, Island Fusion, Rusty and Hawaiian Island Creations. Like all great artists, however, John has carved his own path that has led to two World Championships, boards for 60 foot waves at Jaws, to shaping boards for virtually every professional surfer alive.
