Next time you're walking downtown keep an eye out for one of these guys, and stop for the short amount of time it takes them to whip up a masterpiece, you'll truly be amazed. Spray paint artists create these surreal paintings in mere minutes with some poster board, lids/cans, paper towel/rags and of course spray paint. These modern day art pieces, if you can find an artist in your area go anywhere from 5$ to 20$(depending on the artist and painting). Spacepaintings.com is a very informative website that has instructional videos on how to do it yourself as well as links to allot more "independent" spray paint artists showing off their collections. The amazing thing about these is they look so surreal, are made so fast and inexpensive but the thing that is truly awesome is that they are each so detailed and unique.
