Motion painting (in the street art style)

David Ellis goes through paint like people go through oxygen. Constantly. Instinctually. Dependently. In addition to his prolific output in painting and sound installation, he's worked with many artists as part of his Barnstormers project. Collaborators include Doze Green, Madsaki, Jose Parla, Maya Hayuk, Swoon, and more. Time-lapse 'motion paintings' are windows into captivating and endlessly dumbfounding creativity. Layer after tireless layer - each moment another unique piece...disappearing into another. Checkout motion paintings in Ellis' Barnstormer videos at the Library - Barnstormers : 360 [degrees] / VIDEO GT3913 .B378 2005 and Barnstormers : apostrophe / VIDEO GT3913 .B376 2002.
