As much as i don't really want to sponsor it too much, Vice magazine had an article up today about a painter called Herb Brown that's well worth reading (more so than 95% of Vice content, it's one of their rare genuinely informative articles). Back in the 60's he painted over subway adverts, posters and even tv sets, with some pretty explicit spontaneous imagery. At the grand old age of 87 he comes across as the best kind of cantankerous old fella', there's a few of his paintings above^. Apparently his stuff is on display in Nu yoik at the moment, which isn't very practical for me, but if i was there i would most certainly give it a look.
