the master

If you've caught the spray paint frenzy you no doubt are onto Shepard Fairey.  He is masterful…and you can see him in action in this video HERE.  *swoon*  Then catch him in Arkitip #51.  This is perfect spraying weather and I'm itching to get outside with some of my new stencils.  The studio is still in-progress and company comes Thursday, all three kids have graduation ceremonies Friday, so the cans will have to wait a little longer.  In my excavations I came across this journal….the first weekend I started spray painting.  I completed an entire journal in two days.  That's how it is with spray paint….fast & fun.  Watch Shepard….you'll agree.

    So very sool. I would love to play with paint. It looks like a lot of fun! I remember the picnic table and the jeans. Ah, one more thing on my list. What kind of spray paint works the best for this?

    great video. loved some of his masks and the huge what looks to be metal stencil. a warehouse like his would be ideal for spraying. I wonder what his lungs look like! lyle

    Our spray paint article is out in Somerset’s HAND CRAFTED Magazine.
    Brings back memories of that First Page.
    Sigh.
