"How are you doing? My name is Eric Ware. My company’s name is Sane Infinity Artworks. This is my workstation setup right here. This is how I setup. Basically, I know my colors are set up on the color code of the cap. It’s hard to tell sort of, but once you’re in the game for a while you understand it. I got my clips here for tighten up my shirts. I keep them handy at all times. I also use it as a handy holder for my brush so it won’t fall clip up when I keep my hose close by. If you keep it long out like this, customers come by and trip over your wire and drop your brush it can break. They’re expensive brushes. I got my box here, this is where I lock up all my compressor equipment, that my air. That’s what gives me the pressure for me to paint, and this is my hoes. All of this stuff comes separate. People try to get kits for airbrush but you have to get this separate. Hoes comes separate; air brush compressor comes separate, this piece, the bottles, paint, and everything. Now, this is an airbrush cleaner, keep that handy too. You add this with a little bit of water in one of these bottles and shake it up, and then blow it out of your brush like this. This how you keep everything clean. Loosen the top, pull back gently, and you clean out all that gunk that’s inside there. That’s the compressor running that you hear. It fills up with air every now and then. Once the air gets low, it refills it up again, it’s a tank. "
