Early Experiments in Spray Paint

One great thing about having a studio space in Brooklyn is I can experiment with spray paint.

So here was my first piece; it's a mess! I totally didn't know what I was doing and I don't like it all that much:

It's a learning experience...

I had more fun with the next one:

I also took footage of these and might post that, too.

First Piece in Brooklyn Studio

I finally made time to go to my studio and paint for the first time. Unfortunately it's an hour away, but it felt absolutely amazing to paint- I want to do it for tons more hours. I almost feel euphoric when I paint big like this.

The blue spraypaint actually came from a gentleman in the subway- he stands around with a little stand and creates art on top of subway maps and sells them. Somehow he could tell I was an artist and gave me an almost-empty blue Krylon can; it made me so happy.

I would totally sell this piece for cheap!

One Second of Animation from Today

Ideally I would like to do at least one second everyday- it's only eight drawings.

I did this one just now and it didn't take too long.
