Welcome!
Welcome to my award-winning and recognized spray paint art! I am Nathan Bassett and I have discovered that spray paint art is relatively unheard of except in places like Las Vegas, Mexico, etc. Spray paint art is a "live performance art" which can best be experienced LIVE as I paint a picture in about 5 minutes while playing energetic music. Spray paint art is NOT airbrushing. I spray paint at all outdoor shows/festivals. All my paintings are 22"x16" or 16"x22." I also will contract for special events upon request. If I happen to be at an indoor show, I do not spray paint but will have a large screen video to show the process.
I am known as the "Spray Monay - Rattle Can Ninja of the Midwest" of the spray paint art world. I truly hope you enjoy my website and my artwork as I strive to provide a variety of paintings for you. I have been previously invited to spray paint at Auburn University (Alabama), Storm Lake University (Iowa), Eureka College (Illinois), University of Georgia (Georgia), and Illinois State University (Illinois), Illinois State Fair and I have painted in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Toronto Canada.
Click on "PICTURES/VIDEOS" to see paintings in my portfolio. There are video links at the bottom of that page to see how these pictures are "performed." I update the "CONTACT ME & SHOWS" section with news regarding upcoming Art Festivals and Shows where you can find me. Thanks for coming to my website. Stop by and see me at a show!
