My 9 year old son Simon, (Simo), wife Donna, Kustom painting, airbrushing, pinstriping, Playstation II, crashing my website, and running my Q&A forum. I also like teaching, travelling, breaking, (& repairing) my 64' Caddie. Ignoring my 62' Lincoln Continental, and forgeting about my 58' Jag. Riding,(and not riding) my 2002 R1 Yamaha/MV Agusta Hybrid. Drums, Guitar, and writing. If there are any other interests that you feel I have neglected, please feel free to comment.

Movies
All movies rule. Even the bad ones,....Actually,.... Especially the bad ones! Any movie with Bruce Campbell is essential....Groovy!
Television
Don't really watch it, except for movies, cartoons, and getting a laugh out of lame reality shows. On second thought,..., Scratch that. I like Old School TV: Twilight Zone, The Prisoner, Alfred Hitchcock presents, Star Trek, and The Biker Build off series. Actually,...I watch a hell of a lot of it. I have an 8 year old son, so I have also become a Nickelodeon affectionado.
Books

About me: My name is Craig Fraser, I am the owner, operator, and head artist for Air Syndicate Inc. In Bakersfield, California. I have been airbrushing professionally since 1984. Specializing in kustom automotive graphics, pinstriping, airbrush murals, and the fine art of the kustom kulture. I split my time at the shop with my travelling workshop series for ASET, Coast Airbrush, and Airbrush Action Magazines Airbrush Getaway. I am also a freelance automotive journalist for Airbrush Action Magazine, Autographics, Streetrucks, and Hot Rod Magazine, just to name a few. I currently have over 20 Educational DVD's available in the industry, and am the author of the Best Selling Kustom Paint book, "Automotive Cheap Tricks, and Special Effects". As a kustom paint consultant, I work with companies such as Medea/Artool, Coast Airbrush, and House of Kolor. I have numerous stencil systems available through Artool at Walmart, and various hobby stores throughout the world.
I am also the in-house airbrusher/designer for Dion Giuliano's "Kal Koncepts", and work alongside fabricator, Brandon Lambie of "Black Sheep Kustoms".
