Witness the wild ride of PaintJam that has enamored audiences ranging from corporate events, conferences, fundraisers, sports arenas, and live television for over 20 years. Created by acclaimed artist Dan Dunn, PaintJam transforms an event into a visual art performance. As the performer uses music to engage with the audience, artworks are spun together in just minutes — right before your eyes. In a flurry of brushes, stamps, paint rollers and even bare hands, the canvases are whirled into paintings reflecting the nature of the event. Experience live speed painting entertainment that has captivated audiences in 30 different countries across the globe.

There’s a reason PaintJam has attracted the attention of Jimmy Fallon, Sir Richard Branson, Ellen DeGeneres, and The Super Bowl. Whether we are unveiling an award, celebrity portrait, company founder, brand icon, or a patriotic tribute, PaintJam brings engagement, fun, and personalized artwork to audiences worldwide.

Meet the Founder: Dan Dunn

Dan Dunn is a classically trained artist and proud graduate of Sam Houston State University. Dan has made a living solely from his art since 1977 — working in illustration, painting, design, and caricature. Inspired by the late, great Denny Dent — the original speed painter — Dan brought his own twist to the genre by developing PaintJam.

It was a breakthrough moment. When his daughter uploaded a video of the performance to YouTube, the footage went viral, catapulting Dan and PaintJam into the global spotlight. Millions watched as he transformed canvases into stunning celebrity portraits at incredible speed.

Dan has since performed for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Rachael Ray Show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, the Super Bowl Pregame Show, and countless others. He has brought the magic of PaintJam to 30 countries and counting—electrifying audiences with every brushstroke.

Rising Star: Harvey Dunn

Dan’s youngest son, Harvey Dunn, grew up immersed in creativity and performance. From school plays to choir recitals, Harvey was a natural performer. As a child, he often traveled with Dan to PaintJam shows, helping behind the scenes. But it wasn’t until 2019 that he officially stepped into the spotlight.

After high school, Harvey took a practical job at a local manufacturing plant, putting his dreams of performing on hold. That changed when Dan began searching for a new painter to join the PaintJam team. Eager to audition, Harvey proved he had the energy, charisma, and brush skills to match his dad. Since then, he’s become a crowd favorite.

Harvey has brought his signature charm and explosive painting style to major stages, entertaining audiences at events for the NFL, NBA, Nick Jr., and even Weird Al Yankovic. 

Today, he stars in PaintJam shows across the world.
