What sets Dan apart?

Unlike mere Performance Art, Dan’s creations are authentic masterpieces, a testament to his skill and versatility across various mediums: acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, sand sculpture, street painting, and airbrush. It helps that he’s been doing it a long time— way before it had a name.

One of the things that sets Dan apart is his innovative equipment. Tailored for every occasion, his custom-designed easels come in SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, and even TRAVEL SIZE . . . but it is Dan’s HUMONGOUS SIZE EASEL that puts him in a class by himself: 1200 pounds in 3 boxes on 12 wheels in a customized trailer holding an 8-by-11- foot canvas, a roof, a sound system, lights, compressed air, and a built-in generator.
