I went peddling my wares today, took some samples to a custom bike building shop.
They said they would use me for all there airbrush work as I was way better than the guy they had been sending stuff to. Then a customer tapped me on the shoulder an asked If I could paint the pinup that I have entered in the contest on his Harley. Told him yes but I needed to price the clearing before I gave him a quote.
The owner of the shop then sent me down the road to see someone else about clear coating, a new shop that had just opened.
Thenasked me if I could refresh his floor painting ( in another thread)

Walked into the next shop and I knew the owner, he looked up and said " I have been looking for your number, will you do some work for us"
He has a painter working for him (clearing sorted) but they wanted an airbrush artist for graphics.
First shop does custom building.
Second shop sports bikes n quads.

Good day or what ?

Thank you very much for the compliments and good wishes.
The panic is over, I wanted it to happen but then it got scarey when it did LOL.
The floor mural is the one thats a bit scarey still, but I dont have to do that until the next Fiesta holiday I told the guys I want 2 clear days to do it. though I reckon it will only be one day painting.
I,m waiting for the sign blank from the motorbike shop, should have that Monday, they have sent me the eps files for the pheonix.
The Harley tank Hmmmm the guy hasnt got back to me yet.Oh well his loss.

Again thanks guys.
