# Musical Painting Paintjam by Dann Dunn By Howard Wu | Published 2008-05-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paintjam-musical-painting-by-dann-dunn References: [paintjam](http://paintjam.com/) The work of Dan Dunn, as featured on his website [Paintjam.com](http://paintjam.com), is simply amazing. In a [theatrical performance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-digital-artwork), (as featured in the above video) to a song by Ray Charles, he produces a seemingly effortless likeness of the musician on a giant rotating canvas. He is not a one-trick pony either. Dunn's other featured "[paintjams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loklik-ipaint)" works include Elvis Presley, to the tune of "Rubberneckin'", and a [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/favle22) Astronaut to the tune of "Rocketman".
