Airbrush painter shows off
Rayvon McCall is an artist in the
truest sense of the word. He has
that rare gift, granted only to ar
tistic people, which enables him to
recreate what he sees.
Several years ago, he saw an art
form that he especially liked.
As an avid hot rodder, McCall
frequented car shows and races
throughout the state, always
noting the spcciliazed designs and
customized paintings found on
many of the cars and motorcycles.
"I liked it and I thought I'd like
to try it. I knew I could do it," the
Hoke County native explains.
Although McCall never had a
formal art lesson, through talking
with various people experienced in
customized painting and extensive
reading on his own, McCall began
to try his hand at this fascinating
hobby.
Soon tank covers for motor
cycles, painted to order, became
standard productions for McCall.
License plates depicting anything
the customer wanted, from
horoscope signs to stylized names,
could also be obtained from Mc
Call's talented hands.
An air brush in these hands pro
duces a picture beautifully detailed
and so real that a three
dimensional effect is often observ
ed. This, he explains, is created by
special application techniques, and
paints. Sometimes he uses stencils
and the airbrush; at other times, he
chooses to freehand his designs.
"I've always loved to draw, even
in elementary school," says Mc
Call. "They never offered art
when 1 was in school. It was
started the year after I left," he
notes. "Everything I've learned,
I've learned on my own."
McCalPs work is so well known
that advertising is never necessary.
Word of mouth suffices in creating
a demand for his talents.
However, due to lack of proper
working space, he has had to turn
down many requests for large
customized paint jobs.
"You've got to have someplace
that is free of dust and gnats to let
each coat of paint dry," explains
McCall. "I just don't have the
workshop space I used to have,
and rather than do a poor job, I'd
Hoke

rather tell the guy, 'no, 1 can't do
that right now.' "
But the desire to paint, to create
is still there and he vows as soon as
he has the time, he will build a
workshop behind his home in
Cameron Village.
For right now, his artistic urges
confine themselves to some wood
working and painting for the home
he shares with his wife, Betty, and
four year old son, Mario.
Throughout this neat home are
examples of McCall's work. A
small carved turtle resides on the
television which is backed by book
shevles and a painting done by the
man of the house.
The painting has an interesting
history. McCall tells that he saw
one like it on "Another World," a
popular tv soap opera.
"I thought, well, I could paint
that, and I did."
The scene consists of an orange,
brown and white background on
which white birds are poised in
flight.
McCall, a third shift employee
at Burlington Industries, admits to
watching the soaps because of his
work schedule but will not say he is
addicted to them. (He probably
just likes the scenery used in the
sets.)
Pen and ink, gold leaf, pencil,
acrylics and lacquer; all completely
different mediae, but McCall has
experimented with each one and
has produced some pretty fantastic
art.
Those art lessons that Rayvon
McCall never had evidently have
not made any difference. His in
herent talents and determination to
create conquered that problem
long ago.
Nice work
Local artist Rayvon McCall shows what lacquer paints, an air brush and
talent can do. McCall is pictured displaying one of his more recent works,
a motorcycle fuel tank cover.
