airbrush art

T-shirt boardwalk specialty

Airbrush art is visual artwork created using an airbrush—a small, air-powered spray gun that atomizes paint into fine mist.

The technique produces smooth gradients and photorealistic effects difficult to achieve with brushes.

Common on custom vehicles, T-shirts, murals, and helmets: The van's side panel featured elaborate airbrush art of a tropical sunset.
