2006 - awesome SciFi spray-painting Christian & Shannon got in Aruba - 163462992_255db1b761_o (by Christian)

This thing was apparantly done using spray paint in like 10 minutes while Shannon & Christian watched. I have a similar painting that I got at a yardsale, but it's not as good and isn't in good condition either. I asked Christian to take this picture because I can't stare at it enough :)

Man that's awesome. I remember growing up we had a roller skating rink that was painted just like this on the inside. Turn up the Hawkwind and lets rock.

Euterpe -- you can "hang" it on your windows background! :)

Actually, I use "John's Adventures Desktop Switcher" to switch to a different photo (that I've taken) every minute -- it really jogs the memory to have that running on 3 computers 24/7.

Yea, I'd love to have time to learn how to do these things. I was checking out the instructional videos online which they have at ... space-paintings.com or somesuch website... it looks like it's possible ot have a really broad range of paintings.

Hell, i'd love to just have the walls of my house be one huge planet like this.

Amazingly, it only took the guy about 20 minutes to paint it. He does it right in front of you. With SPRAYPAINT!! It's like Bob Ross on crack.

Dude--when I read "Bob Ross on crack" I got this mental image of him trying to paint, hands faintly trembling, while he sobs in front of the camera, "Why are all my trees crying? I NEED MY HAPPY TREES, AAAAAA!"

Weird :)

EXCERPT: "Please take note that I'm not showing any graffiti tags or space spray paint in this article. Those can be pretty inspiring too."

incredible work. It inspires me to try spray painting myself. I think the real beauty of this medium is the fact that landscapes look very realistic and quickly achieved.

For example. 1 cover the area in colours you want then use a circle shape for the planet then spray around in black, but obviously alot more talent and skill is involved.

I think this is the best picture i have seen. Excellent SCI-FI Stuff!!

Zemurius: There's actually websites that sell instructional tapes to learn how to make these types of space paintings. I've always wanted to see it done. I wonder what YouTube may have to offer on the subject. . .
