Music fans were in for a treat on the opening day of The Chicago Auto Show, when hip hop pioneer and original beatboxer Doug E. Fresh hit the Toyota stage with speed painter Martina Hahn for an amazing performance that blended music with visual art.
After the show, I had a quick chat with Doug E. Fresh about the inspiration behind this performance and the new music he’s working on:
I also had the chance to interview Martina Hahn about the process of speed painting:

How fun! How cool is that speed painting, I could never do that, not even if I had all the time in the world, and I sort of liked when she spun the painting around, Love it.
Love it! Years ago, I saw artist Denny Dent create art like this on stage. It was pretty cool!
The Speed Art is very cool. My son plays hockey and at our spring banquet a guy came in and did a speed painting of the chicago blackhawks. awesome!
Speed painting is THE coolest thing. I’ve watched an artist do this once, years ago, and was blown away! I like how she uses the beat to her advantage. Makes sense!

love all the videos you shared.! seems like a very cool experience!
Sounds like a really fun event. The idea of speed art is just so incredible to me. My artistic ability begins and ends with stick figures, so that is just insane!
Oh how I wish that I could be there. It sounds like it’s going to be amazing! I used to go to the one in NYC and that was awesome!
That sounds like so much fun! Thanks for sharing those fun photos!
I seriously love Chicago. There’s always so many things to do there. The speed painter is very cool.
Speed painting sounds really cool. I would like to see it. The painting is amazing and it looks like in the pictures, she did it upside down? Great interview and interesting performance.
What a super fun event. I’ve been hearing a lot of great things about this car show. I hope to go next time.
Wow! That looks like so much fun! I wouldn’t ever think about there being entertainment besides the cars at a car show. That is pretty cool!
Doug E Fresh is the best guy to get a party started. Regardless of your music preference he can get you on the dance floor. Glad to see him still representing hip-hop after all these years.
What a great show lol. Great to see Doug E there! Oh, and the cars were nice too
😉
This looks like a cool event. I love the speed art concept as well. What car was your favorite car?
This looks like such a cool event! I have always wanted to go, I love the music and everything else added!
How cool that you got to see him perform and then had the chance to interview him! It looks like it was a fun time!
What a fun event! We love car shows, and I bet this one was amazing!
