Our family was in Waikiki over the 4th of July weekend. We had the pleasure of watching Wayne Gabaylo's spray paint performance outside of Burger King in King's Village (3 shows every night except mon/fri starting at 8:30). My eldest daughter was so inspired, she wanted to hand her tip to Wayne himself instead of just dropping it into his tip jar. You have to keep in mind she's very shy.
Even though he uses cans of spray paint, he achieves a lot of fine detail through the creative use of common household objects. You need to be patient while watching because it takes him about 20 minutes to craft a piece and it looks like a random mess until the last 2 minutes. He does a decent job of keeping people entertained during the whole thing, but it can get a bit boring at times (since our society is spoiled with instant gratification). One guy made a sarcastic remark during the show, but cowards like that have never put something of themselves out there for other people to criticize. If you watch Wayne's performance, be patient, and you will be rewarded.
Here's a link to his website, where you can see his paintings. If you like to be surprised, skip the links and just catch his show.

He does free performances for local schools, to spread an anti-graffiti message and inspire the kids. He definitely inspired mines.
