Post 6: Inspiration

1 David Irvine

I was interested to see if other artists were painting on other art and this guy is. David Irvine buys thrift store paintings and paints well known characters into them. I think there pretty funny and I would think he sells a lot of them because of collectors and people who are obsessed with fictional characters. 

2 Wayne White

Wayne White is the only other person I can find painting on paintings. He buys them at thrift stores, and paints block letters of funny profanity's, or sayings that are inappropriate. It is very different then what I'm doing but I think the playful juxtaposition is similar. He has a documentary on Netflix about this project and how it brought him a lot of success in the art world. 

3 Emily Kell 

I enjoy Emily Kell's subject matter. Her paintings of women are really nice and I like that she has armpit hair and embraces femininity in a natural and positive way.
