'My name is Nick Marshall. I am 16 years old and live in West Yorkshire Uk. I first saw spray paint art when I was about 10 years old in Italy and I was amazed at how quickly people could produce true works of art. I did not have any money and therefore could not buy a painting, partly thinking that I would be able to find others anywhere. I regretted it ever since, until summer 2004 when I was in Mallorca, Spain. In the local town, a guy would set up every night and get huge crowds watching him as he was painting. Every day I would go into the town and watch the guy for about an hour. I was absolutely captivated. I learned (through watching him) many techniques that I would later use to create some of my own paintings. I made the decision early on that this was something I HAD to learn so as soon as I got back from the holiday I set out finding out how to do so. I happened to chance upon spacepaintings.com one day and found Brandon and everybody else a great help to me. With his help I was creating some simple works and progressing quickly to more complex and in-depth paintings. I have not looked back since!'
