Actually, I moved to Upland after I was out of HS. I grew up in Whittier, just a little down the road... ;)

yah, if you want a cheap airbrush that gets the job done ok, toys r us is seriously your best bet! I got my airbrush from there for 10 bucks! It was good to learn on, and still works ok if i use the right type of paint.

Anyway, when I'm in vanc, I do all my shopping at magic box hobbies on arbutus. They moved into a new location a little while ago and they're awesome, always have everything I need and they're really nice so I feel good supporting them. They have a good selection of airbrushes too, $$$ though.
