DAVID BOLT

by Liz French and David Bolt

The exceptional talent of David Bolt can be seen not only in magazines, at shows and on the Internet, but on human bodies as well as in the words he uses to describe his work and his experiences. The airbrush, while not his standard media these days, is one of his favorites and although most of his current work is now done digitally or via tattoos, Airbrush Technique Magazine asked for an interview from this extraordi- nary artist and was graciously granted one. David’s unique style is apparent regardless of his means of application and the airbrush is a tried and true method which has been a large part in the evolu- tion of his accomplishments. When asked to elabo- rate David said, “These days I’m doing a lot of digital work but it’s only because I have been moving and don’t have a suitable studio space for airbrush. For many years the airbrush was my tool of choice. It’s so fluid and natural. I feel like the color is being directed straight from my finger to the canvas. It’s like my mind has a direct link to the tool. Just like you don’t have to think about riding a bike, I don’t have to think about having an airbrush in my hand. It’s a direct extension of my body.” Page 1  |  Page 2  |  Page 3  |  Page 4  |  Page 5  |  Page 6  |  Page 7  |  Page 8  |  Page 9  |  Page 10  |  Page 11  |  Page 12  |  Page 13  |  Page 14  |  Page 15  |  Page 16  |  Page 17  |  Page 18  |  Page 19  |  Page 20  |  Page 21  |  Page 22  |  Page 23  |  Page 24  |  Page 25  |  Page 26  |  Page 27  |  Page 28  |  Page 29  |  Page 30  |  Page 31  |  Page 32  |  Page 33  |  Page 34  |  Page 35  |  Page 36
