Oil, acrylic, and spray paint are his most common materials. From free hand techniques to making stencils on site there really isn’t much Shane won’t use to create an image. His ambition has pushed him to new levels and bigger work. With rapid growing public support he is more focused now than ever before. Shane and his artwork can be found predominately in urban neighborhoods where he supports local philanthropist, non profits and charitable causes.
