Ray Charles Paint Jam

[AKMAC82]

I saw this first when they did it in '86 with Jimi Hendrix on a back alley wall.

[JohnBraide]

....He's got very faint outlines.... maybe grey on the black, that's how he does it.... and the cheesy gesticulating.... well, I guess he came up with that himself ;-)

[ForeverKagInu]

StupidFox tried this =)

[MoscaMediaTV]

Nuts!! :)

[DLFP123]

he killed that shit tho

[KroOo99]

Wonderful!!!!! °o°

[hudsonluv44]

I thought it was some kind of dragon painting at first. The first purple he puts up looks like one. I love this though.

[jimmyPain2121]

Up until 4:29 I was really unimpressed... at 4:34 this became my new favorite youtube video

[ApostleOfDub]

truly unique.

There's a beauty in the process too

[Gamer4Life5TV]

HOLY CRAP

[MrGiorgio8418]

skata



[smithsquad02]

This is soooo cooool!!!!

[fodrizzlemizzle]

He could probably sell his paint-splattered clothes as "designer" for more than that painting... Sadly...

[CorriTimigan]

At about 3:30 when everybody realises what it is I love it most! Itjust looks so much like him! Personally I don't like when he puts the extra white in and the lights around his head and stuff, it seems to me he overdid it.

But then again, damn this is awesome!

The man in this video is Jon Hicks from England. He's at the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) in Vancouver right now until September 1, performing 3 times daily!

[umbravirgo]

Oops, I see this particular guy is Dan Dunn. In any case, Jon Hicks is the one at the PNE. He's been doing this type of performance art for 9 years.

[overthewoods]

lice adience? i would pay to see this where is this held?

[badfish4311]

[karanvir1985]

[RyanEdge]

At first I was like "oh great it's gonna be some stupid modern art bullshit" but I am pleased to say I was mistaken

[lilbudatofu]

iam pleased to agree with u

[funkyant]

Pretty good.

But could he do my face?

[jon1151]

probably not since your face is shaped like shit

[funkyant]

So are you saying he can't paint shit?

Haha

[jon1151]

lol you got me

[funkyant]

Ps. I must state for the record that I gave this 5 stars and added it to my favorites.

[strawberrygirl101]

wow. thats all i can say. wow.

[bs110123]

that is very cool i had no clue what it was this video just blows me away.....GREAT JOB

[AnyOtherDay13]

omg this guy is insanly amazing!!!!!!!!!! I would've never guessed what it was

[joey3519]

too cool

[xxSilverFlutexx]

i saw him on ellen

[kcipeht]

he is probally the best speed painter out there there are more but he dose it upside down

[quvuongoc]

damn. and he did it in 5 minutes. that hella coo.

[bangorbarb]

THAT WAS WILD!!! I would hate to do his laundry! :-)

[rezzacool]

that was freaky, evry bit of paint was perfectly placed, and i thought he was just throwing paint on and it was gonna be shit. wow!

[caribroyal]

COOL!

Ironic, that the only piano recital I gave in my life was that one song, Georgia, by Ray Charles. I played it over and over again, note for note until I could have played it backward if I wanted to. It's the same thing here,amazing,and he may be an artist elsewhere but, HERE, he's as much an artist as I was a musician, then. Now, I'm pretty good, with a guitar.

[jessica13inuzuka]

its okay. i thought it was a dragon by a pond at first. -.-'

[bradyrussell24]

how did you gt that idea? and that was amazing especially since he painted it upside down

[KashimashiGal]

i like how he sings to the songs and stuff...=D

[tonymerrithewpdx]

Nice work Dan. I'll paint every day as well.

Tony Merrithew~

[mfhpf4lhg]

AMAZING!! at first I thought they were wolfs!!

(you know I'm dumb)

[KashimashiGal]

me 2 lol =D.

[edffwgfwrtf]

now thats what i call talent

[pusula87]

way mına chakinta...

[ngodupsangpo]

this guy has really improved his act from earlier performances. he dances and paints to the music more and he doesn't toss huge swaths of paint wastefully to the side before he puts the brush to canvass now :)

[kittyglitter07]

AMAZING!

[hasangai]

I could definitely give him some pointers.

[IIvann13]

me to i just saw it on ellen kool!

[Tizzlemizzle]

just saw this guy on Ellen and CrudeDude. What ever this is so not a trick or an illusuion.

[sr7827]

This artist is my favorite one when it comes to depicting Ray Charles.

[lilsoccergirl4life]

wow he is awesome!

[babs92058]

I was at the taping of the Ellen show yesterday and watched him do the Ray Charles painting in person. It wasn't a trick, but it was amazing to watch.

[countrychickadee08]

Guys! He didn't cheat on this at all! I saw him do it on the Ellen show just like this meaning there were no camera tricks or anything like that!

[darkclaw216]

i saw him on tv once

[xxRedRose]

even if he did cheat in any form of way I bet not one of you can do what he does..

[ffkingdomhartsrules]

Ahah i saw you last night ;D you rock at life dude your an inspiration

[kwakx92]

im gonna have to say i beleive the artist over you guys who just cant think up a GOOD therory. good job dan!

[CrudeDude]

Sorry, folks, but it's only an illusion. It's done with ChromaKey. Look it up.

[ratgell]

That's a good theory. But not true. I would encourage anyone to look up what ChromaKey or "blue screen" is. it's for video production, not live stage work.

I simply memorize shapes. I memorize it right side up, then learn it upside down.

Find the cheekbone, then find the nose. triangulation. You build the rest from the initial reference... There is a LOT of behind the scenes rehearsal as well.

All the best.

Dan Dunn

[CrudeDude]

Sorry Dan, but I KNOW how you do it. You're simply erasing the blackout with "paint". It IS a good illusion, though, but it's still just an illusion.

BTW You don't "rehearse" art.  Sincerely, Jim Piver

[kiresnikpmot]

you are stupidass

[CrudeDude]

Learn to spell, Erik. You, being both stupid AND an ass, apparently aren't intellegent enough to know that "stupid" and "ass" are separate words.

[koeme]

"You don't rehearse art." WTF... Who are u to tell a person what is art. Please give me a definition of art that says it must b created on the spot. I too consider myself a artist and i may not rehearse it on paper but i do tend to "rehearse" it thoroughly in my head...Truly CrudeDude u have nerve

[airsoftsniper4307]

really hes erasing the black paint...so when he fliks his hands the paint just flies off magically?....its real i've seen the guy live, but i bet he sucks at painting right side up...lol

[lilsoccergirl4life]

u no, there is such thing as talented people.

[TrinityLynn03]

that was sick he was on carson last night did anyone see it he did slash

[caspianx]
