Several issues back in our "Small Town Living" e-zine we featured the barn art of Scott Hagan..an incredibly talented young man that paints barns in really neat designs.... Reminiscent of the old Mail Pouch Tobacco and old timey barn advertisements from years ago.
Scott has brought this lost art form back to the forefront..and travels around the country painting barns.
You can see a time lapsed video of what he does here:

And if ever you need someone to paint a really cool design on a barn that you own you can contact Scott through his website at:
http://www.barnartist.com/
Oh how I wish I had a barn big enough to hire Scott to come paint it. Incredible talent! ..and I love that he brings the nostalgia of an era that many have forgotten back to the forefront again.A time when barns were painted with advertisements for things like "See Rock City!", "Mail Pouch Tobacco" and so much more... Barn art!..it's terrific!

Cool, thanks Tina! I actually saved that page from your magazine since we have a BIIIIIG barn and someday, someday maybe we can get some barn art painted! This will be great for DH to look at, too.

I remember hearing about him a while back but I couldn't remember what his website was. I always like repurposing barns to bring a new light to them. I've seen a few of the Ohio ads while driving up through there. Here in Kentucky, there were a few barns that were painted with the University of Kentucky logo. Those farmers got free season passes and a few other goodies to do so. The KFC Barn is still on I75 northbound here in Kentucky in Mt Vernon. I'm bookmarking that website before I forget it!
