My younger brother is an amateur airbrush artist who only has been at it for 2 years, he hopes to make it a full time job that can pay the bills. The reason , i bring this up here is that his latest project is a 2003, 100 year anniversary trailer for a guy who has an EGC of the same year. Please have a look at it, you will be impressed, the client sure was.
This is predominatly a US forum, but if there is someone around Laval, Quebec, Canada, well maybe give him a shout.
That is right, no BS, he obviously has a natural talent, now the trick is to convert that to money$$$$$$to pay the bills
Doubt he'll have any trouble doing that.
Advertise in local rags. Make some deals/arrangements with local dealerships to do onsite consigment type work so they get a cut, or offer up some referral fees.
With that level of talent he'll be set in no time.

Stay away from the dealers, he's doesn't need them. He don't have to share with anyone.

Holly Crap......... thats fantastic. Marketing Marketing Marketing and in a year or two, he'll be turning down work, or just scheduling farther down the road. If he lived in a warmer region with a longer riding season folks are more apt to spend (more) money on their bikes/toys. Very talented fella!!!
