let's paint, play soccer, & blend drinks!


John Kilduff is the inspiration for my soccer team, "Let's Paint, Play Soccer, & Blend Drinks." He seems like a pretty fantastic person, someone I bet would be great to drink with for an entire night. Maybe our soccer team will inspire him.

What would be better? If John Kilduff set up a treadmill beside the soccer field and painted, coached, and blended drinks? or how about if he ran around the soccer field with us holding a canvas and a thick brush and painted while he played with us? OR if we just put him in goal with a canvas and a blender?

I think putting him in goal would obviously be the best decision. He is an expert at deflecting the questions of rude callers which makes me think he would do the same with soccer balls being kicked at him at wild speeds.



Anyway, here is his wikipedia page for more

Kilduff himself is a qualified and exhibited artist currently studying for a MFA at UCLA in California, but his aim with the television series is to make people of all skill levels try their hand at painting or other forms of creative self-expression. Kilduff frequently encourages viewers to use very large brushes in order to cover the canvas as quickly as possible before worrying about details, as he feels an empty canvas can be very intimidating to novices.

Although the show has aired on Public Access TV in Los Angeles since 2001, it became more widely known in late 2006 when Kilduff began uploading recordings of episodes (mostly the live ones) onto the online video service YouTube, where it has since become a cult hit.
