I just accepted a new job on Tuesday, and in keeping with tradition, bought myself a little something in celebration.

My rules for this splurge are pretty simple. No more than $200, and it has to be something I’ve wanted, but don’t really need. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a splurge, now would it?

This time around, I decided to throw down for a new airbrush – the Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline.

Why?

I mean, I already have FOUR airbrushes. Why do I need another?

Mainly because I don’t feel I’ve found the “right” airbrush yet.

Yes, the airbrush is just a tool, and it’s how you use it that matters, but it’s also true that some tools “feel” better than others. It’s the same with cameras, computers, and socket wrenches.

I’ve been reasonably pleased with elements of my various airbrushes, but I’ve also felt a bit like Goldilocks and the porridge. From what I’ve been reading, though, the H&S seems like it may be what I’ve been looking for.

We’ll see. It should be arriving Thursday. Look for a review to follow shortly thereafter.

Hi there. Name’s Matt. Or Doogs, if you prefer. Since this is an About page, let’s get straight to it. I’m 30. Married. Father to an adorable little boy, beautiful baby girl, and four dogs. During the day, I’m an associate creative director at a social media agency in Austin, TX. In my free time (such as it is), I write. Or wrote. Or try to write. Historical fiction, mostly. It’s a nice contrast to the digital content and social media strategeriness that I live with every day. I also get all interested in cars, photography, technology, politics, history, movies, and knitting. Actually, scratch that last. I can barely tie yarn in a knot.
