David Daykin

Teaches at Yaymaker

David Daykin, one of Paint Nite's most experienced Hosts, was born and raised in Somerville, Massachusetts. He would definitely be considered one of the more energetic artists in the Paint Nite world. He has been described as having a blue collar mentality with an artsy side. A welder/fabricator/mechanic and DJ background, he always finds art and fun in everything he does. 

Mainly self-taught, David got his first taste of art while attending Matignon High in Cambridge.  He prefers his events to be pumped up and fun. Chances are you will hear a song you love that you haven't heard forever.  Even though his events can be more like parties, he takes pride in his ability to coach you through your painting, making sure you leave with a great piece of art above your expectations.  David wants his guests to have fun, let loose, and create something!
