Howdy, folks! I've been frequenting this site for over a month now so I figured I should probably formally introduce myself. My name is Lisa, I'm 26, and I live in a small town in Central Illinois. I discovered spray paint art in Tampa, Florida at the Channelside Plaza. I was totally taken back at the talent and the mysticism that surrounded the artist... the whole performance (yes, just a guy on his hands and knees painting a piece of paper) was so incredibly mesmerizing, mysterious, and believe it or not, Sexy! I literally was hooked for at least two hours and the only reason I left that soon was because I had an early morning flight to catch. As soon as I got back to Illinois, though, I was online researching and watching YouTube videos and making a shopping list for all the goodies I would need to try it out.
I've always been somewhat artistic when it comes to making things and being creative, but I've never been good with a pencil or a paint brush. So I thought perhaps this would be a better avenue for me to try. I put my first spray down on May 2nd, 2009. I've done 11 paintings to date, some not so good, some pretty cool, and have already had at least 6 requests from friends for paintings. I have decided to designate Mondays to spray painting since that's my slowest day of the week. So... today is Monday, so I better get painting!
This site has been amazing so far. Thank you to all who have and will offer your help and feedback, and thanks Brandon for creating it! This community rocks!!!
