Having seen the premiere episode, the eye catching images on display is just one reason to check out the program, as Wagner and BUA don’t hold back at critiquing (as well as encouraging) the respective artists. The show is also highly rigorous, as the participants often have to run, climb (and sometimes trip) their way to their destination before any spraying begins.

In the video below, Justin BUA explains why hard work, as well as his innate talent, are key elements to his success as an artist and entrepreneur.

Mear One serves as a guest judge on tonight’s premiere episode (Oxygen, 9 pm et/pt).
