Abstract
A device allowing a user to create creating artistic designs on an underlying surface is provided. The device includes a base comprising a plurality of legs. The base supports a central hub at an elevated position. A paint tube is rotatably received in the hub and is spun by a motor. The paint tube has an opening therein for receiving paint and a transverse section comprising multiple open ends for expelling paint during use. The user pours paint into a funnel, which directs the paint into the paint tube. Gravity pulls the paint into the transverse section. When the motor is activated, the motor rotates the paint tube. Centrifugal forces expel the paint from the paint tube, creating a swirl design on the underlying surface.
