Born and raised in Montana, Dane Christensen acquired mentors and friendships of many talented artists. He stayed persistent in learning and developing artwork and now does airbrushing for Gunslinger Custom Paint in Golden. His influences include that which he sees with his own eyes. Colors of light and atmosphere, day-to-day life and past experiences always inspire him to stay creative. Space/cosmos is the theme he had in mind while painting his mask using automotive pearls and metal flake paints applied with a brush.
