December 21, 2007 Video from the Dayton Daily News We have just received a copy of the video that was posted online at the Dayton Daily News for the Masquerage Event in October! We have uploaded it to our MySpace site, or you can also watch it by clicking below!

New Professional Affiliations! IAHA and NAPP We are happy to say that we recently joined two organizations, the International Association of Haunted Attractions (IAHA) and the National Association of Photoshop Professionals. As members of these organizations we hope to network and stay even more up-to-date on the latest trends, techniques and skills, making our products even that much better for you, our clients! We also joined the Face Painting and Body Art Association in order to network with other artists across the globe. November 5, 2007 New Events Added - Mazza Museum, Mardi Gras, Queen Sancha Ball We have recently confirmed several additions to our calendar for this winter. First is on Sunday January 6th at the University of Findlay's Mazza Museum. We'll be there as part of their Funday Sunday family event. This weekend is circus-themed, so we'll have plenty of fun designs that will make you feel like you're at the big top. The event itself, as well as our facepainting, will be FREE for the public. On February 1st, we kick off a weekend of Mardi Gras events. First up is the Queen Sancha Ball in Toledo. This event, sponsored by the Order of Odelots, is a fundraiser for the King Wamba Parade, which takes place during the annual Old West End Festival. This year's ball will take place at the Secor Building in downtown Toledo. We'll be there painting masks on partygoers that don't care to wear a traditional mask. On Saturday February 2nd, we'll be part of the Mardi Gras at the Manor House sponsored by the Toledo Metroparks. This event will take place at the Wildwood Metropark's Manor House, and includes New Orleans-style cuisine, live music and entertainment. Once again, we'll be there painting on masks for those that don't want the hassle of a regular mask. Event Reports for Masquerage, Eerie St. Market, and Monster's Ball Thanks to everyone that came out and supported us during the last few weekends. Masquerage in Dayton was a huge success! We had appointments from 11am-7pm, followed by the event itself from 8pm-1am. It was a busy day, but we are pleased to announce that we were able to raise $600 for the AIDS Resource Center of Ohio! We couldn't have done it with out your support. Hopefully we'll see you next year! In the meantime, check out www.masquerage.org for event photos from the Dayton Daily News, many of which feature our work! Halloween events at Eerie St. Market in Toledo and at The Intersection in Grand Rapids, MI were also a great time. At Eerie Street Market, as well as providing face and body art for party guests, we also painted up some "ghouls" for the haunted tours of the market. We were a big hit at The Intersection's Monster's Ball, as well, painting up lots of costumed characters, in addition to 7 or 8 go-go dancers that were performing at both The Intersection and The Bob nightclub down the street. You can check out photos from all of these events in our updated photo gallery, or even more so at the Air-O-Dynamic Design and Production MySpace page at www.myspace.com/airodynamicdesign! October 18, 2007 Dayton Daily News Article, Photo Gallery & Video In preparation for Masquerage this weekend, the Dayton Daily News published a couple of articles pertaining to the event, and also to the services that we'll be offering throughout the day. I went down to the AIDS Resource Center of Ohio's Dayton offices last week to demonstrate our face painting for the event board of directors, as well as the Dayton Daily News. As, I mentioned the articles were published today and are available online here and here. In addition they posted a large photo gallery and video detailing the demos that I painted while I was down there. And just as a reminder, even though our Therapy Cafe appointments are filled, we do still have early afternoon appointments available at the Holiday Inn near the Dayton Mall to get your mask painted on (just like you see in the video) before the event. Contact us now before those appointments are gone as well! October 17, 2007 New Appointment Times Added for Masquerage! Due to the overwhelming response to our services for Masquerage on Oct. 20th in Dayton, we have added appointment times! Currently all of our afternoon/evening appointments at Therapy Cafe are filled. However, we would like to thank the Holiday Inn-Dayton Mall for allowing us to add appointments from 9am-1pm at their location! And no need to worry, the makeup that we use is incredibly long lasting, so you'll still look great for the event! We do a lot of summer arts festivals, and routinely are in our makeup from 7 or 8am until going to bed at midnight or later. So long as you aren't a really heavy sweater, there should be no problem with it lasting all day. We're also huge proponents of showing off your makeup all over town during the day! I personally love to wear mine to slightly inappropriate places, and have been known to go out with family and friends for dinner and drinks as all sorts of zombies, monsters and creatures year round. You might get a couple of funny looks, but it's for a great cause! (And besides being fun, it's almost Halloween anyways...) Just as a reminder, to schedule an appointment either send us an e-mail at kelly@airodynamic.net or give us a call at 407-616-0567. Prices will be in the $15-$35 range, depending on the design, with 50% of proceeds going directly to the AIDS Resource Center of Ohio. If you don't have your Masquerage tickets yet, you can get them by going to www.masquerage.org. See you there! October 10, 2007 Make Your Appointments Now for Masquerage Dayton! We are currently taking appointments for face and body art prior to the Masquerage event in Dayton, OH on October 20th. We will be at Therapy Cafe from 4pm-7pm to help you get ready for the main event, which starts at 8. We will have a wide range of design ideas on site, or bring your own. And yes, we have plenty of glitter, rhinestones and dayglo colors to match up with the 70's Glam Rock theme! Prices will generally range from $15-$35 with 50% of the proceeds going to the AIDS Resource Center of Ohio. For guests with Red Ribbon Lounge tickets, Air-O-Dynamic Design and Production will also be on-hand in the Lounge for the duration of the event offering their services for free as part of your perks! No appointments are necessary during the event, and we will have 2 artists ready to help "glam" up your look. To make an appointment, just drop us an e-mail or give us a call at 407-616-0567. We expect appointments to book up fast, due to the limited time frame, so contact us today! NOTE: We will also be painting up the bar staff for the night's festivities. If you are a volunteer bartender, contact us for a special time to come in and have your mask painted. A huge thanks to Therapy Cafe for letting us come in and set up during the day! After you get your mask, be sure to grab a drink or a bite to eat! October 8, 2007 AOD at Toledo Citifest's "Halloween at Eeerie Street Market" - Oct. 26th We have just confirmed that we will be a part of "Halloween at Eeerie Street Market" hosted by Toledo Citifest. This event which benefits the Toledo Zoo will take place on Friday Oct. 26th from 7pm to Midnight. Wear your costumes, but leave your makeup at home, as Air-O-Dynamic will be there with a vast array of spooky designs to compliment any costume! For more information visit www.citifest.org. September 11, 2007 Toledo Blade Society Page We had a brief mention on the Toledo Blade Society Page today for being part of the SRO/Masquerage event on Saturday. Thanks to everyone that came out and had their faces done. We hope you had a great time, and don't forget to come see us on Oct. 21st at the Dayton Masquerage! From The Toledo Blade: Article published September 10, 2007 (I did edit out the portions of the article that didn't pertain to the Maquerage Event) ***
The event, which is always the second Saturday in September, helps sustain HIV-AIDS prevention and education programs, testing and counseling, support services, and linkage to care in northwest Ohio, said William Hardy, executive director of the center based in Dayton. SRO knows how to party for a cause. While the building might have been old, the spirit that night was full of energy.
At the entrance to fun were Michelle and Steve Atkinson, who were offering complimentary mini Evolution Martinis as Mike Hauser took tickets. Inside, music pulsated. Food was artfully displayed, and tables and chairs were scatted in nightclub fashion. Pat Lewandowski sang a few tunes, a DJ played for awhile, and then the Athens Wheeler band took to the stage. Twila Starr made a special appearance too. Emcee Alexis Means of WTVG-TV, Channel 13, kept the evening rolling. Mayor Carty Finkbeiner stopped by to give an emotional speech about the need to support AIDS awareness and education in the community. Assisting in the background for the 18th SRO event were event chairmen David Wishart and Chris Clymer, who estimate a net of about $22,000 for support services in the Toledo area. That's thanks to the sponsors, volunteers, and some 350 guests.
After the event several folks moseyed on over to Diva for an afterparty...

August 24, 2007 AOD to be a part of Dayton Masquerage - Oct. 20th It has been confirmed that Air-O-Dynamic Design and Production will also be a part of the annual Masquerage event in Dayton, to benefit the AIDS Resource Center of Ohio. We will be located in the Red Ribbon Lounge, offering face and body art services to VIP ticket holders. In contrast to the Toledo event's Ventian Carnivale theme, the Dayton event will be celebrating 70's glam rock and disco! We are also in talks to set up in a local venue that afternoon to take appointments for those who would like to have their masks painted on in advance. More details on that as we get them!

August 15, 2007 AOD to participate in Toledo SRO Masquerage - Sept. 8th We have just confirmed that Air-O-Dynamic will be participating in the SRO Masquerage event to benefit the AIDS Research Center of Ohio. This event, and its sister event in Dayton, are annual fundraisers for prevention and treatment options in the state of Ohio. AOD will be on hand to create "Venetian mask"-style face and body art for guests and partygoers. While this will be a paid service, a portion of the proceeds will go directly to benefit ARC Ohio. For more information, or to order tickets, please click the image below.
August 6, 2007 Air-O-Dynamic Design and Production wins Regional Design Competition We are proud to announce that Air-O-Dynamic's design was recently selected for the Harrison Rally Days "Rally For The Arts" festival poster! Harrison Rally Days is an annual festival held in downtown Perrysburg, Ohio. This festival, attended by over 10,000 people, features juried fine arts and crafts, food court, parade, children's activities, boat rides on the Maumee River, youth bands, and live entertainment all day. Thanks to the Board of Directors of the Perrysburg Area Arts Council and the Perrysburg Chamber of Commerce for selecting our design! For those of you less familiar with Perrysburg, the icon of the downtown historic district is a large statue of Commodore Oliver Hazzard Perry (who served during the War of 1812) for who the city is named. A photo of this statue was manipulated to remove his sword and military equipment, and reposition his arm to hold a paint pallete and brushes.
Scariest Makeup Award Winner - HauntCon 2007 Monster Makeup Wars Air-O-Dynamic is excited to announce that we won the award for "Scariest Makeup" at the annual Monster Makeup Wars at the 2007 HauntCon convention in Dearborn, Michigan!! Contestants were given 1 hour and a makeup kit containing just a few colors of creme makeups, blood, spirit gum, kleenex, Bloody Mary's Mummy Makeup, a silicone wound, string, oyster crackers, a pack of microwave popcorn, saftey pins, and some other random items to create a monster! Special thanks to our model Steve Frost, and to Patrick Graham from Oak Island Entertainment in Tampa for jumping in and helping out at the very last minute, when one of our artists couldn't make it!
