New product for Air Born!
Well, there are two. Both in the prototype stage. First is a PVC set of fittings for the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-Z. Special characters could be offered, perhaps even Korean, Chinese or Japanese on request. These are being developed because of the lack of nonstandard height frames. All current choices are 2 foot or 4 foot. Need your letters to be seen from across the football field at a Homecoming? 4 footers aren’t going to cut it. My system will be just the fittings only, the pipe you can still purchase at the depot stores yourself. I would supply the fittings and the material list to put each of the numbers together. A tinker toy set without the dowels!
The next idea is to get my Face painting set up and running. I have a small suit case with paints that are secured in a sponge mat so I just have to close the case lid to cover up the paint. I want that case to fit into a larger case that is self contained and with a single lid, be closed up and ready to hot foot it to the next gig or to just get the heck out of Dodge before the next whining parent comes up and tried to wheedle ”just one more” out of me. There are two things here that irritate me about these parents beside the fact that they are always lying about having stood in line for the last two hours and I that was just ignoring them, the other is: I do hate to say no, and I am not going to set a precedent. I do not want to be the guy they refer to at XYZ’s next gig for the same parent pulling the same line on the new Artist. ” Well, Air Born Did it, you can stay the extra 5 minutes to do my kid too! “ Makes me look bad- I don’t like it.
The new item I am working on is a 12 v closed water system, silicon sealed tubing, one way valves and air top off tanks so that I can come up to a gig, open the lid, push a button, the water fills the cups for painting, if I need to change skanky water, I push a button and the old water is drained into an empty container and new clean water fills the cups again from a jug of fresh water. The only open point of the system is the cup I would rinse the brush in. Once I empty thecup for the last time, I close the lid and I am gone! I am already working on a way to make sure the system stays sanitary- a protocol that will probably entail a thorough bleaching rinse at home after the gigs.
They maybe a couple of hairbrained ideas but I have interest already from a few face painters and decorators.
Happy Twisting!
