Spray Paint Artist

During a trip to San Francisco I saw this spray paint artist along one of the sidewalks. He uses only spray paint, a putty knife, newspaper, pieces of cardboard, and the lid from a paint can to make all his designs. When they are finished he holds a lighter in front of can of clear spray paint and uses the flames to quick-dry the painting. I bought the one seen at the beginning of the video directly in front of the one he is working on. There was a crowd of people and I only had a cheap digital camera so the quality is not so great.

I'm not the artist in this video, so I don't know what kind of paint he used.

@wowerman SPecialty caps dont help a whole lot with this style. Its mostly a matter of layering the paint and then scraping or smearing the layers for certain effects. Use clear coat to re-wet paint if it dries too quickly

[imlistening2it]

what is the canvas? ive trtied a few things and i can never get the paint to scrape down to the white like that.

I love to paint! I have had a few art shows myself. And this is way beyond what I do. I do acrylic paint.

And they make up so beautiful! Love it!

This artist has the sense enough to wear his breathing protection and gloves ; many spray artists don't and that's a shame!

@rexcrossnet The paintings are anywhere from 10-30$ really cheap for how amazing the art is (this is when i went there a week ago)

[monikaable63]

[rexcrossnet]

Are the paintings expensive to buy? He must make a lot of money in that job!

@PokemonNeoOpener

His name is Guillermo Armando, I have one of his paintings from a raffle in my art class and it is the centerpiece in my room :D

[PokemonNeoOpener]

I tried this kind of art. Simple, but really effetcive... iut give satisfation... but the 80% of youtube spraypainters seem to have not too much fantasy... planets, planets and planets... AH! and asteroids.

This is amazing, however

[deathwishSON1]

[LivinASceneLife]

Yeah this guy was at our state fair (Kansas) and was selling 3 different sizes of paintings. The small ones were 10$, medium and more complicated were 20$, and the biggest and most amazing 30$. But does anyone know what his name is???
