"Let's Paint Tv" Celebrates Its Sixth Anniversary! It's Just the Beginning!

Having shared a truly marvelous variety of guests and models for 6 years, artist and entertainer John Kilduff and his show "Let's Paint TV" announces the beginning of a delightful 7th year with the promise of even greater surprises.

October 26, 2007 (FPRC) -- Kilduff, A lifelong artist who received his Bachelor’s in fine arts at Otis Art Institute in 1987, and who is currently a MFA candidate at UCLA, is also the perpetually optimistic and perpetually out of breath show host. Not surprisingly, Let's Paint almost defies classification. There’s no clear line to say that the show itself isn’t art... with John having creayted a new hybrid of painting, video, and performance. Partly due to his jogging on a treadmill, but largely due to his almost complete lack of preparation, John Kilduff gives Let’s Paint an inherently lovable chaos. On any show he might bring a frying pan or a blender or a mini-grill, and while trotting breathlessly on his treadmill, might fry a pickle or blend a drink or grill a sandwich... all while painting in an energetic fashion and fielding live viewer phone calls. His live callers add to the frenetic experience. “Even when you think they’re bad they can actually be quite good,” John remarked. The image of the sweating artist on a treadmill, the colorful artwork, the strangely prepared food and drink, and the occasional guest or near-nude model is in fact the new impetus for the show. Before the treadmill, John’s show was most definitely a quirkier-than-average painting program that would sometimes shoot on location or instruct from the studio with a model dressed as the Devil or Cupid. With the advent of his treadmill, the energy has been turned way up.


Over the last 6 years, Kilduff has made that act of painting fun, entertaining, and educating. Notable among John's guests are actor/model Michael Schmidt, who as a series regular has appeared dozens of times on the show modeling as either Cupid, Nero, Bacchus, Eros, Adam, The Devil, or most often as himself dressed only in skin... actress/model Debora Hunter, who has appeared as Aphrodite, Venus, Eve, or simply as herself... actress Emily Sinclair, who appears as Inga from Sweden to mix drinks or make sandwiches... muscian and comedian Thessaly Lerner who delights with song as The Ukulady... actor Josh Thompson, who appears as a very interactive Robert De Niro... and actor James Evans, who has made appearances as Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro. John Kilduff lists these as prominent among the many, many dozens who have gifted the show with their energy and talents. Let's Paint has also had a wonderfully eclectic collection of musical talent appearing as backdrop to John's mayhem, including Frozen Plastic, Ultraviolet Eye, the Rahdunes, and Los Cremators, among others.

Being weekly broadcast live througout the Southwest, with taped episodes airing in New York and Texas, Let's Paint TV has now been seen in Canada and the UK. And due to the convenience of Youtube, past episodes are making audiences smile all around the world. Viewers are invited to tune in and get a chuckle as they watch a 7th year of making art entertaining. Check your local guides or contact your local stations.
