In Austin, Texas every night is a party on 6th Street.  This man earned his living on that street by selling paintings to the crowds.  He was there almost every night.  Watching him create his paintings was really the show and the finished pictures almost seemed like a byproduct.  He would create these fantasy landscapes using only canned spray paint, sticks to smear the paint, and sometimes fire--to add a smokey effect.  His painting always drew a big crowd.
