ATLAS for Life - Pipestone, MN
What a fun, extravagant fundraiser! The Pipestone chapter of ATLAS for Life really knows how to put it on. With a live band, pianist, opera singers, guitarists and an hors d'oeurve line up like you wouldn't believe - this was a very cool shindig. The theme for the evening was "A Starry Night" based off the Van Gogh painting of the same name. I thought what better challenge than to do that painting graffiti style?
It was a tough challenge, too. Aside from his masterful compositions, one of the big appeals in Van Gogh (as with all impressionistic painters) is the flow of the paint. That's achieved by the evident brush strokes. With spray paint, there are no brush strokes. Borrowing techniques from aerosol landscapers, though, I was able to achieve a similar result. Check it out below!
"Micah's professionalism equalled his very genuine artistic expression on canvas. We couldn't have been more pleased with his thoroughness and final product."
