History

Established in 1982.

I airbrushed T Shirts & clothing at my shop in Mission Beach for 24 years. I currently take customers by appointment & airbrush items at Bar Mitzvahs & other events. I have decorated restaurants in San Diego & Hawaii, including the Marble Room downtown, Fred’s in PB, & Maui, Moose McGillicuddys in Maui & Waikiki and other local bars. I have restored the Wyland mural in the Plunge in Mission Beach & have been creating murals in residents & businesses for decades. I am happy to meet & work on desigs with customers as well.

Found Chris after a previous artist didn’t fulfill the order. Didn’t have much time do have this project done and he got it back to me in a day! Not a week not a month a day! Not sure if you can find that anywhere else. Sent him the images and ideas, and he didn’t let me down. Highly recommend his work. The friendliness and professionalism was great. Will be going back to him for more work!

Another vendor flaked on our airbrushed hats, we found Chris and he was able to get the cutest custom hats made for our girls!
Great product, and quick turn around.
Thank you!

It was fast, it was easy, it was well done, and my painted tattoo has lasted for 3 days now without flaws. I couldn’t have asked for more. He was nice and very personable, he kept in contact, and the prices can not be beat. I’d highly recommend to anyone who needs paint or airbrush for a night out.

I called Chris to airbrush a gift for my son last minute. Chris not only accepted the job with such short notice but was very helpful providing useful ideas as I was not sure what my son would want. I didn’t have the pair of shoes and shirt I wanted to get airbrushed and Chris volunteered to purchase the shoes and shirt for me so I didn’t need to rush out as I was already under a time crunch. The final product was amazing and my son flipped out when he saw the shoes and shirt. Needless to say Chris made me look like the hero. I will be calling Chris back for my sons B-​Day party for face painting. This gentlemen definitely goes up and beyond the call of duty.
Thanks Chris

I called Chris for a last minute airbrush job I wanted done. I spoke with him, he told me to email him pictures of what i wanted painted and the design I wanted. He promptly emailed me back with a quote, and said if i could make it to his place with the piece he could get it done today.
Needless to say I rushed over to drop it off, he’s a great guy, a local airbrush guru. He was super helpful and appreciative that I was military and getting ready to deploy.
I will be recommending him to everyone I work with if they want to get anything airbrushed in San Diego.
Thanks Chris!

Chris was a HUGE HIT at my son’s Bar Mitzvah a month ago! The kids went wild for his cool t-​shirts and caps! Several people contacted me after the event to get his contact info. because the kids want him at their Bar/​Bat Mitzvah or birthday party! He is personable and amazing with the kids! I highly recommend him for your next celebration!

interacted with this guy recently… was very rude and condescending. You do airbrushing — it aint rocket science. I’ll find someone friendly when I need to hire someone for my event.

Recently hired Chris to provide custom airbrush T-​shirts at my daughter’s bat mitzvah. Everybody loved Chris and his artwork. Chris is friendly, timely, reasonably priced, and very easy to work with. I strongly urge you to hire Chris for your party or airbrushed needs. Thanks Chris!

Chris did custom airbrush tee shirts for my son’s bar mitzvah. The kids and the adults LOVED his work. He made over 80 custom designs and everyone was happy. He is a great guy, funny and cooperative. And I had to call him with lots of questions and even meet him in a random parking lot to deliver a picture and he was wonderful thru out the process. I recently was at 2 separate events that he was working and again his shirts, and boxers were a hit! I would not hesitatie to use him again!

Chris is an incredible artist. Each time I’ve hired him he has overwhelmingly exceeded my expectations. I still use stage-​backdrops he made for me in 1992. It’s amazing how his mind’s eye can see things and then bring them to life in his paintings.
Rarely do I recommend people because with some you just never know, but with Chris it’s a no brainer… Get him on your design team whenever you can.
Thanks Chris. I need an addition to the original backdrop in April or May!

12 years ago I brought Chris an unpainted ceramic coffee table pedestal with two dolphins as the base. I had him airbrush the ocean waves and the detail on the dolphins were unbelievably realistic.
Thank you Chris for the great job… I owe you one dude.

Had Chris for my daughter’s 10th birthday party. He handled fourteen 10-​year old girls with ease. Made them all the shirts, hats, and bags that they could ask for. Was very accommodating, friendly and the girls all went home with great gifts. Would use him again in a second. My daughter was ecstatic that her party was such a hit.

Chris did a custom lace airbrush design on the walls of our restaurant. The work was great and he was easy to work with. He did exactly what we asked for and worked quickly. His quote for the job was very reasonable.

Chris is as professional as they come! I called him-​last minute-​last year to do my Halloween body airbrushing. I was a kissing booth and the lip prints he did were perfect! People raved the entire night. His price was right on and he is just a hoot to sit and talk with.
The kind of guy your boyfriends/​husbands would trust you alone with, ladies.
You bet I’m going back this year!
