Great work!
You have great talent! So happy you have found your calling.
Your an amazing artist…you capture perfectly my idea that life isn’t black or white, it’s all about the shadows.
I am trying to figure how you get such detail with spray paint, very cool
I love your spray paint art!

awesome job! Congrat
Thank you Ray for liking my artwork. It means a lot to me coming from you — your work is so beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous. And pure art!
smart and simple yet very affective. do you draw the image first?
Depends. Most of the time I do not draw first. Free hand with X-Acto knife is best.
sounds like you invest a lot of time on each piece.
Absolutely. Some take about 18 hours to create the stencil.
True artist! Absolutely gorgeous.
I can’t stop looking at some of them.
What a gift you have!!!! Love your work!
Fun!
Very very Nice pieces!
What you do is really inventive. I like the moodiness of the pieces.
Nice

Absolutely stunning 🙂
What fabulous images with a feel of yesteryears!
Gorgeous! And I love your philosophy on art.

Check out this artist that is making waves…beautiful.
I have been wanting to dabble in stenciling and spray paint myself. Your work is great and makes me want to take it up sooner. Congrats on Chicago, it is always wonderful to see fellow artists succeed.
Great work! Your display will surely get lots of visitors in Chicago! These paintings are very exact.
Very nice! Congrats on the Chicago show!
Very nice work and very inspiring.
Waaaaauw
I thought this looked a bit like Debbie Harry.

Spray is prays backwards.
Well, not really. You’re just moving the letter S
I often wondered how one could spray paint on canvas. I tried free hand and got a lot of nothing! Yours are lovely.
Beautiful!!!! :-O
These are lovely!
I particularly like the second image.
[…] New Spray Paint Pieces on Canvas. […]
With spray paint……….INCREDIBLE!
You have a beautifully meticulous art style! I especially like the cheerful “Jazz” since I play(ed) trumpet. 🙂
Wow, you are incredible! Loved looking through your work.
I like the one with the girl sitting on the arm-chair! Mesmerizing!
Jazz and women. Two of God’s most tantilizing creations.
Awesome site, and amazing work! Here I thought everyone with a spray can was a vandal.
You think you gave this artist a compliment, but you actually insulted thousands of young artists all over the world, and revealed the racist basis of your thinking. Have you been living in outer space?
Next, you’ll discover that rap, hip-hop, and spoken word artists are “articulate”
I’ll probably be repeating what everyone said above, but I was blown away by the images and to know that it’s spray painting. I’ve never seen anything like it. Very unique and amazing!
I saw these on the website link from a previous post and showed them to my artist husband. He has long been a fan of urban wall art, although in my ignorance, I have always called it graphiti. I can clearly see such a small negative word doesn’t do justice to either of those lovely ladies.
Another amazing piece of art

I immediately fell in love with “Lady” when Ray Ferrer (the artist) shared it on Facebook. Both containing intimacy and a sense of noir, I imagine an entire story behind the instant captured here. And it’s also pretty fantastic that Ray makes his art by using hand-cutting stencils with an X-Acto knife and then using spray paint on canvas.
amazing…..x

Great work! You are very talented 🙂
Your work is amazing!
Awesome paintings…good work
I voted for you on Facebook, but from the looks of things, you already have a huge following. Congrats.
It appears I am coming to the party late. Nevertheless these works of art are awesome.
Having spent a good three years living in Bristol, home of marmite-esque Banksy, I can safely say I have come to somewhat of a revelation with street art. I used to be one of the blind sheeple types who viewed this kind of thing as, ‘vandalism’ when, in reality it was phenomenal artwork!
I am now a great appreciator of this form of artistic expression and am really enjoying seeing your work showcased here on your blog. Keep it up.
Wow, truly impressed with your work. I love the effect of this mixture.
beautiful…and congratulations!!!
I really dig your work!!!! Send me your email, I have a cool picture I took while in the bohemian town of Asheville NC. I especially enjoy the jazz pieces.
Wow! These are amazing – almost dreamlike.
Love your work – especially the jazz piece. Amazing!
Stunning ladies!! The one on the right reminds me a little of Jack Vettriano… sensual!
Really love your art, its inspirational
love your work- edgy and evocative……
Wow, this is amazing, you’re really talented !
Those are really unique….Great job.
Beautiful creations. Thank you for your support.
Wow,you are really talented! Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking my post!
Love the work looks amazing
I appreciate quality art in any form, and I am impressed by the originality and beauty of your work.
Spectacular!! Absolutely inspiring!!
gorgeous
Wow! Absolutely amazing!! God has blessed you with an INCREDIBLE talent!!
This is great work– congrats.
Your murals are a work of art and it has been a treat to see them. I love how you capture the expression of your subjects using lights and shadows. I also liked your comment: “I am vehemently opposed to using art as a means to rely on overly-complex theories or ideas to prop up mediocre images.” If I understand your comment, then this is exactly how I feel. I have studied music theory and composition and have felt that music, and art in general, have become too intellectual, causing the humanity in the art to be sapped. Also some people have relied on these esoteric concepts to explain what they cannot produce in their art, hence they are mediocre.
Are your stencils clear when you cut them? I love what you are doing.
I freehand most of them and some I have to sketch first for perspective.
gorgeous work
Beautiful!
I AM the Voice of HEART. I can see by your talent that you are already listening to yours. Keep listening!
These are so amazing!
Love your work!!
Beautiful work
Vintage, I love it.
Nice site!
Artistic!
The Post is very Uniqe! I Love it too!
Wow! This is amazing :O
Keep up the super-amazing work 🙂
This is unique and so clear cut. Thanks, fallenangel, Munich
Your technique is beautiful. Love the joy in these.
I just want to say what incredible work you do!
I also am a artist and love to see such unique, innovative work such as yours.
All the best in the coming year! Looking forward to seeing what you create next!
Love your art. I agree with the comment or who said it reminds them of a speakeasy. The monochromatic theme is perfect as well.
love it
I really dig your blog. It looks really cool and the content is great. I wish you an amazing 2013. Cheers.
Outstanding works. They immediately evoke an emotional milieu and feelings towards the subject. Wonderfully composed. Thank you.
nice work!!!!
You are incredibly talented
Wow, amazing work!
these are so gorgeous ! They remind me of a jazz movie, or a a speakeasy. Very powerful images, and original.
wow! wonderful and amazing
These are so lifelike, that if I didn’t know they were done with stencils, I would assume that they were old photos. Just spectacular.
Those are absolutely phenomenal! So talented!
Always been a fan of spray paint at since I visited San Antonio and saw the amazing work dive by the street artists there. Excellent stuff man.
Fantastic!
What talent! Even though I usually sense a harshness from a lot of urban art, yours expresses warmth.
Just beautiful, nothing else is needed!
Amazing stuff…
Merry Christmas! You have won the STAR Award
I have always loved this sort of art and never applied myself enough to it. I enjoyed it.
you’re super talented. Keep up the good work. Appreciate the tenderness.
i love your style and choice of subject matter.
looking good !!!
Truly unbelievable work. Beautiful. Spray paint, no less! You artists have such interesting minds and you never cease to amaze the world with your creativity and talent. I wish we could peek inside your minds and know the beauty you see. I suppose we’ll have to be satisfied with looking at your work. Thanks for sharing.
Great pieces. Keep up the good work!
The monochrome effect is sharp.
Greetings from Tuscany!
Awsome work, absolutely astonishing what you can do with spray paint

Extremely contemplative & thoughtful for me. They are excellent.
These are beautifully soft and serene. Thank you for sharing your gift.
These are really cool. Never would have thought.
These are really good! I love them!
Wonderful– I had no idea such subtle effects could be achieved with spray paint. I’m tipping my invisible hat to you! : )
I have never seen anything like this. Amazing!
Are the stencils for the 2 pictures above based on real pictures? Especially the one with the lady in it?
I cut the stencils freehand.
wow very nice…impressed!
nice blog
so pretty. curious to see more
Beautiful compositions.
unbelievable… SO talented!!!
Even your name is beautiful! Love the nostalgia…
Really nice work. I particularly like the jazz one.
Stunning!
So beautiful. Interesting to see a woman still look sexy smoking. I’m a smoker, and I usually feel so ashamed and made to feel like a pariah. Yet, here she is made to look so … alluring. That’s amazing, how you did that. Reminds me a bit of Marilyn Monroe.
Find it SO hard to believe it is Spray Paint 😉
Awesome Work!
Beautiful pics. Great post and your work is outstanding.
Paul
Those are really awesome, what a fantastic idea! Good luck with your shows.

This is wonderful! How in the world do you know how to make the stencils?
Same as one draws with a pencil, I draw with a razor blade.
These are great. Love the mood.
Just beautiful. I love your style.
Wow – unique art and wonderful talent!
Wow! Never seen anything like this. Absolutely amazing art.

Wow! Love these!
Eye catching work
Amazing talent.
If I could copy any artist’s techniques, it’d be yours. So relevant and beautiful.
Great stuff!
I love the jazz piece. It makes me think of old jazz greats and Billie Holiday. Beautiful.
Love Billie Holiday! Yayy, Ambiance and Nostalgia with art…

Wow, I am amazed by your work. Please do let us know if you ever get an exhibition in India!

Gorgeous work!
Wow. Your work is great!!! nice job. I bet it takes some time to to it, but if you love it it is worth it! 🙂
Love, Love, Love your Amazing work! The only spray paint urban art I have seen is on the side of the train as it passes through my tiny town along the east coast. Nothing in comparison = )
I really like the woman on the right, she is very sultry. You are very good with the x acto knife!
Whoa, very patient work. Lots of mana. And great results. I love the use of spray paint as the nod to “modern technology”. Love the softness.
I could write a whole page on the two works of art and their story it says so much! Wonderful work!
These are absolutely fabulous! I am SUPER impressed. You are a talent.
[…] New Spray Paint Pieces on Canvas. […]
Your art is incredible!!!
Wow. Nice.
Fantastic work – the jazz scenes have an incredible essence.
My god man, this is impressive! you’re an amazing artist 🙂
Your work is truly amazing, it leaves someone who prefers writing, such as me, absolutely gobsmacked, you make something so difficult, look so simple.
very cool work!
Nice to see someone keeping this art alive with such finesse and a sure hand
Very cool! Can’t wait to see more =D.
-Frank
WOW.
These are amazing. Great job!!
Your work is truly visually stunning. I have enjoyed this type of artwork ever since I lived in Palestine and saw the notable work of Banksy. It is interesting to see it on a canvas medium. Keep up the awesome work. It is wonderful.
Is it possible to take a closer look at your work?
Love your work! Any for sale. I am following you now.
Thank you. Yes some for sale. Not much as they go fast or are in galleries for sale across the country. Email me with inquiries or if you like I can also do custom pieces based on theme or from photo.
I am gonna get back to you on doing something creative for my house and office. I like your work. I will be touch.
Awesome! I look forward to the communication.
Particularly like the lady with the trumpet. Cool.
Your work is beautiful. I like to think of myself as artistic, but what I do pales in comparison to your “ladies”. Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing more of your art.
A big like 🙂
wonderful artist, whom I’d love to follow. Great work!
It feels warm to see these beautiful images. I admire this talent so much.
Love that top piece.
I love jazz music and this piece. Very nice work!
Your works are amazing! Bravo! 🙂
The woman with the trumpet, so cool! 🙂
Your pieces are so realistic! I would love to see some in person. You’re very talented!
