Wayne White

Not sure how I stum­bled upon the work of Wayne White, but he’s def­i­nitely an artist I’ll be pay­ing more atten­tion to from now on. He is best known for work that takes old (and typ­i­cally unat­trac­tive) thrift store paint­ings and adds over­sized, col­or­ful type on top. Unfortunately there isn’t any one com­pre­hen­sive site on his work (that I could find any­way), but a Google search will turn up quite a few exam­ples if you’re inter­ested in see­ing more. And you can also pre-order the first book of his work, Maybe Now I’ll Get the Respect I So Richly Deserve, on Amazon right here.

    He did the cover for Lambchop’s album Nixon — a great album and a great artist! Thanks for remind­ing me about him.
