Default Spray Paint Art

never heard of this till someone sent me a google video link:

http://video.google.ca/videoplay?doc...74515665636969

i hear this guy or someone like him is on robson street (vancouver) and sometimes eau claire, anyone confirm or deny?

i should preface by saying i haven't checked the website...

i'd put this guy's stuff on my wall long before many things that are considered 'art', if $15 is all he charges, wow.

There's a guy that does that in Rome. Watching the guy do it is pretty cool. He doesn't have the flashy-dashy box though. This guy just sits on a milk crate and does it on the ground.

Without having checked out your link, there is a spray paint guy on Robson Street in Van, yes...at least when I lived there (a couple of years ago). He does amazing work, all with a can of spray painter. Better than a lot of painters can do.

My parents also saw a spray paint artist in Hawaii when they went there a handful of years ago as well.

There's always a couple guys down at fishermans wharf in SF that do this.

Right next to the guy standing on a pail wearing silver paint, acting like a robot. Interesting to watch, but would you really put one of those things up in your house?

Saw them in Mexico too.

The more I see them, the less impressed I get. They always paint the same things and it's seems that once they have the technique down, it's really quite easy.
I think almost anyone could do one of those once they've had some practice.
