Paint Jam by Dan Dunn

Dan Dunn

 Dan studied at Sam Houston State in Huntsville, Alabama where he specialized in oil painting and watercolor and also enjoyed sculpture and life drawing. His painting professor would tell him “you can paint until the day he drop. When your hand gets a little shakey, just tell them it’s a new technique.” Dan paints in a very unique style where he uses his hands and brushes combined. His canvas is usually on a vertical wheel that spins in either direction, and his painting style is known as “speed” painting. He didn’t receive worldwide attention until his teenaged daughter posted a video of one of his sessions, known as “paintjam”, on youtube and a few social networking sites. This boosted Dan’s showcases globally and he has since appeared on The Jimmy Fallon Show, the Superbowl XLIV Pre Game Show, The Ellen Show, The Carson Daly Show, The CBS Early Show, Good Day New York, Fox News Morning Show, (New York), as well as television shows in the Middle East, Turkey and a Japanese prime time special. He sometimes jokingly states that the three fastest forms of communication are: telephone, television and tell a teenager!
