Workshop Said To Be “All Killer, No Filler”
Interest in learning how to airbrush has reached a fever pitch, thanks to TV hits like Pimp My Ride, Sunset Tan, American Chopper, Trick My Truck, the new Car Warriors, and others. And there may be no better way to learn than at Airbrush Action magazine’s Airbrush Getaway Workshops. Celebrating their 23rd anniversary, the workshops will be staged this year at the Rio Suite Hotel, Las Vegas, Monday, October 17th, through Friday, October 21st.

All of the one-day introductory courses will take place Monday to prepare for the following four-day hands-on seminars: Ultimate Airbrush Effects and Techniques, Airbrush Mastery, Achieving Photorealism, Automotive Graphics, Automotive Murals on Steel, Airbrush Tanning, Makeup, and Body Art, Power Portraits, Wildlife Art, Pinstriping Mastery, Power Skulls, and T-Shirt Airbrushing for Fun & Profit. The courses will be conducted by some of the world’s top talent, including Terry Hill, Dru Blair, Jerry Ott, Javier Soto, Ryno (of Speed Channel’s Car Warriors), and other well-known artists.

Sponsored by Auto-Air Colors, SEM, Iwata Airbrush Company, Artool, and Anest Iwata, the Airbrush Getaway Workshops launch careers by teaching how to profit handsomely in art despite self-perceived artistic limitations.

A comment echoed by many Getaway alumni is that more is learned in four days at an Airbrush Getaway than in four years in college. Joe Stanford, of Grass Lake, Michigan, thought he had finally reached airbrush nirvana. “One day you see a celebrity artist in Airbrush Action magazine, and the next day he’s looking over your shoulder helping you. That’s priceless. A lot of people might be leery of attending a Getaway because they don’t know anyone, but it’s like you’re a part of this huge family as soon as you walk in. There are no cliques or egos. I loved the Murals class. Where else can you find all this amazing talent under one roof?”

According to Joanne Mock, Carlsbad, California, “Ryno’s Automotive Graphics is very hip to everything contemporary and new, and he was excellent at showing you all the nuts and bolts. This is a great course.”

A one-day introductory course is $150, a four-day course $575 ($50 is discounted if you take both). Classes include all the necessary equipment, materials, and supplies (airbrush, air source, substrates, paint, etc) at no extra cost. Group and alumni discounts also available.
Dates for upcoming workshops:
• October 17-21, 2011 – Las Vegas, NV
• February 20-24, 2012 – Las Vegas, NV

We would like to thank all who have contacted us and offered support and prayers for those affected by the tragic events in Japan. As the subsidiaries of our Japanese parent company, this horrible situation has affected us all quite deeply. As of today all of our employees and families in Japan are safe and moving forward in dealing with the aftermath.

The following is an update of the situation as it pertains to ANEST IWATA USA, Inc., ANEST IWATA Air Engineering, Inc. and its customers. Our factories have secured running water and basic necessities and are capable of production. However, our factories and all of Japan will still face many challenges ahead and one of them is electrical power supply. With trying to provide enough electrical power for search and rescue teams and critical hospital necessities, everyone in Japan is being asked to ration electricity and use minimal power. Another situation that affects us is transportation and logistics. Currently supply to and from factories is moving at a very slow pace. Our hope is that the situation will continue to improve in the weeks and months ahead.

Going forward, while certainly some situations out of our control may arise, please be assured that we will tirelessly strive to overcome those obstacles. We want to confirm that our commitment to our customers remains unchanged and we will continue to provide ANEST IWATA equipment with little interruption. Currently ANEST IWATA USA, Inc. and ANEST IWATA Air Engineering maintain healthy inventories and should have minimal problems supplying equipment.

We all greatly appreciate your understanding and support in getting through this difficult and challenging time and once again thank you for all the heartfelt concerns and worries for our families, friends and partners in Japan.

Sincerely,

Satoru Iwata, President

SEMA 2010

ANEST IWATA USA would like to extend regards and thanks to all who visited our exhibit during the 2010 SEMA show. This year we showed the whole picture of how ANEST IWATA, Iwata-Medea and Artool products impact the automotive market from Manufacturing to OEM Equipment to Automotive Refinish to Kustom. The whole lifespan of a vehicle is impacted by what we bring to the table. SEMA took on a whole new look with a Kustom fabricated booth that was constantly filled with loyal customers and new customers that didn’t realize all the products we bring to the table.

This year’s feature was our new gun SUPERNOVA LS400H Hybrid spray gun. The gun is setting the benchmark for spray guns matching HVLP compliance with Conventional speed. Iwata-Medea displayed there new Maxx-Jet mobile air compressor that makes it easier than ever to take you art on the road. Rounding out the show was Artool and their latest Radically Original templates.

We also want to everyone from all three companies for their contributions to making this happen and bringing out the industries best and brightest influences in and around our booth.

International Woodworking Machinery & Furniture Supply Fair-USA®

ANEST IWATA USA, Inc. participated in the 2010 International Woodworking Machinery & Furniture Supply Fair-USA®. Visitors from over 80 countries and all 50 states were in attendance at one of the largest woodworking trade shows in the world. 972 companies were on hand exhibiting with over 800,000 net square feet of product displays.

ANEST IWATA showcased our industrial line of equipment including our new Glazing Gun, 2 gallon dual regulated commercial pressure pot and our Waterborne electrostatic gun. We also had on hand our 13:1 air-assisted airless system with the new MSG200B spray gun. This system provides a great solution for waterborne stains and topcoats. Some of the other highlights were our double diaphragm pumps and extension guns.

Although the show as a whole didn’t set any attendance records, we noticed steady booth traffic and a more motivated buyer profile. With the hard economic times facing the industry, the companies visiting IWF kept the travel numbers down and only sent users and decision makers. This made for a very satisfying show experience for our employees and our distributors across North America.
