http://www.geocities.com/soho/square/3061/horse.jpeg I did this about 4-5 years ago. I used a paasche air erasure with aluminum oxide in it. I did the background on one side of the glass and the horse and grass its standing on on the other side, then put a black illustration board behind it all. The air erasure works great but the tip wears out pretty fast.

That's cool... a couple qusetions... when you did the background did you mask out the horse so you don't get show through when you do the front? How does using an erasure compare to using a regular airbrush? I'v been airbrushing for a long time (never sandblasted) and have always wanted to try the erasure... now I want to try even more. Nice stuff.

If I remember right, I did the horse and grass first then the background on the other side, I used masking tape in different sizes to mask for the horse. whats cool is you can change the color of the board behind it, or even reverse the glass in the frame since theres no lettering on it. the air erasure I used was a single action, very similar to an airbrush, the only problem I have with it is the aluminum oxide still comes out after I let off of the button cause its gravity fed.
