What to buy:
18” x 18” white canvas – This can really be any size small or large.
Printed family photo – I took the photo with my iPhone and uploaded it to the FedEx print app. You can easily pick it up from your local FedEx, or you can print a small version on your home computer.
Exacto knife – You really just need a blade that can safely and easily cut the image out of the paper.
Mod Podge – This is a glue that dries clear. You’ll use it to adhere the image to a surface and to seal once you are done.
Liquitex Spray Paint – Liquitex is a great quality spray paint and comes in many colors with different tiip options. It is also low in order, and no fumes like other paints. You may smell a little but nothing like other outdoor use spray paints.
Zig Posterman Paint Pens – These will work well on the surface and fun to use while adding your own color to the painting.
Stencils – This is just a fun option to add textures, lines, and shapes.

I love this, you should of more DIY!
I made one! Exactly how you did it. The thing is … my poster bubbled. Did I put too much mod podch?
The background music was perfect! 🙂
I really loved this with the pics of your Littles, so I tried it with mine for art for their playroom. Our craft store didn't sell other spray tips or the cool paint pen you used, so I used what I could. So fun! Thanks for the cool street art lesson!
Love it!!! I definitely want to try this.
Too cute! Gotta try this!
I wasn't sure how I was gonna like it! But I loved it!!!
This video completely inspired me! Since the style is so completely outside of my typical artistic vein, I knew I needed to accept the challenge. I started with a small scale portrait of my sons and can't wait to create bigger portraits now that I have a better feel for this idea. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and ideas! (my art is posted on my instagram, username iamjakz)
Wow! Amazing! You did a great job, I might want to do one for my nephew. ^_^
THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I love the twist of how you did the street art!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this!! We have a music room that this kinda art would be perfect in! Can't wait to try!
Terrific! Thanks David for putting out these wonderful videos. Love your work and dedication. Keep going and God bless!
Alright my first "Art Life Hack" is up! What I really want to see is how yours came out! Are you going to try it? Who are you going to paint? Let me know below! -DG
