We watched this guy make beautiful pieces of art using spray paint.
He was doing his work on Freemont street in Las Vegas while we were there this past week.
Here are 2 HD videos of the one we bought right after he completed it.
He can do most of his work in less than 10 minutes each.

Here it is right after he finished it

 

That is awesome. I was going to head to Vegas come Jan for some conferences for work, but too much going on that I had to bow out. I'll let a couple of my guys know about this and maybe he'll still be there when they are out.

Thanks for sharing.

 

That's pretty amazing.

 

That is wild, what does he charge for a painting?

 

Gary: Roberta & I were in Las Vegas from 11/18 thru 11/21. Probably the week before you guys visted 'Lost Wages'.

We know exactly where these artists were located. I say 'artists' because the artist that painted ours is not the same artist in your vidoes. And our artist was in a booth just outside Harrah's (with several other sidewalk vendors) on Las Vegas Blvd. Attached is the picture Roberta & I bought.

How 'bout that! Crossfire Owners have a lot in common!!!! Who'd have guessed!!

 

Paintings were $39-$40 each. There was an additional $7-$8 for the shipping material to keep it from getting mis-shapen during the trip home. He had matts also, but we didn't purchase one. The day we were there, he was selling pictures about as fast as he could produce one.

One of our favorites was a picture he produced of the moon in a night setting. It was gorgeous! Got bought right away. He told the buyer he could produce another one of the sun in a sunrise setting. The Buyer said he would like to see it. The artist did it in 5 minutes! I timed him! And all with Krylon spray paint cans!

 

And because they were using Krylon spray paint, the paintings were essentially dry in 15 minutes!!!

 

I was in Vegas 11/17 to 11/25 and stayed at the Imperial Palace. I just got back 11/26, 1300 miles one way. Naw, I didn't drive the Xfire, and glad I didn't, the BMW met up in Phoenix, AZ with a huge piece of truck tire smashing the right side of the bumper. Dropped a few buck in Vegas, shows, room and food now a $500 deductible, a costly trip. I also saw the artist at Harrah's.

 

Pretty Ironic that another guy does nearly the exact same painting in Las Vegas.
The guy we saw "Masumi Lutz " sold his for $40 and packaged it nicely for us to bring back home ourselves.
Shipping options were also available for under $10

 

People like him are just amazing, thanks for sharing Gary.

 

Has this replaced the Velvet Elvis?

How soon we forget, or try to.

 

This summer we vacationed in NYC. There's a spray painter on each corner in Times Square selling their art. I think they are franchised.

 

Google "Aerosolgraflia" and it will bring up hundreds of videos & photos of this type of art going on all over the world. It began in the 1980's in Mexico.

 

If you used spray cans to do a picture of Elvis, would they be all shook up?
Just asking.

 

It's amazing what some people can do.

 

Thats cool stuff. If you like that, check out Lee Quinones.. He comes into the store where I work all the time. He's pretty well known and is definately a down to earth guy.
