Is being an airbrush artist your full-time job?

Tomáš Kolajta: No, but I’m working on making it my primary
source of income. People already say that airbrushing is what
“feeds me”. My chief occupation is that of being a car-body
painter, which is very closely tied into working with an air-
brush artistically.

At your website, you’ve got a whole lot of pictures of ice ho-

Tomáš Kolajta: Yes, you can see a whole lot of my work at my
website, from goalie masks to floorball stuff. I tend to con-
centrate primarily on goalie masks, which serve as a very spe-

the process of transferring something ordinary into bright

world. As far as motivation goes, my family is the biggest one.
These two girls never rest. Creative ideas hit me from all sides
and it’s wonderful.

What are the specialties, special competences or offers at
your shop?

Artem: First of all, of course, our basic credo which is stated
shortly as “Best products. Shipped fast”. We stick to that as a
core principle of our shop. SprayGunner is a filter. Offering
our customers only the best products that have passed our
quality tests. And every order, no matter how big or small, is

demic. We’re working on re-opening it but that’s challenging that. First, the fact that price talks often create inconvenience
because the facility of ChromaAir now became extension of in narrow circles like the airbrush community. Discussing the
value of an art piece when both parties are artists can be dif-
ficult. That’s why we created an auction website where artists
can sell their art and at the same time use the fund to purcha-
se a painting they like with no auction commission paid.

The second function of our new platform is an interactive
map in which consumers can see artists in their area with
samples of work and establish direct contact. We advise ar-
tists to get in on early stage now to reserve the best spots!
Check it out at airandbrush.art (yes, that’s the web address)
where the artists and customers meet each other.

That sounds amazing, Artem. We’ll check that website imme-
diately. Thank you for giving us a little insight into your busi-
ness and projects. We wish you lots of success and fun!
