ANDY WARHOL Desktop Wallpaper: JOHN WAYNE, Cowboy Portrait Painting

In the 1980's Andy Warhol did a series of art prints with a Cowboy & Indian theme. One of the art prints was a portrait of the legendary actor John Wayne. Using that image we made this desktop wallpaper you can use to brighten your desktop or have as a background in a MySpace Layout...enjoy!

Vintage LP Record Albums with Andy Warhol Artwork

In music history there have been many different album covers featuring Andy Warhol artwork. Shown up above are just a few examples. The one of Count Basie is actually quite RARE. It used commercial art that Andy did in the 1950's. The one with the Rolling Stones Love You Live art was specially commissioned by Mick Jagger. The banana cover is for a band called the Velvet Underground which was owned by Warhol. This image is practically an icon & has been reproduced on hundreds of T-Shirts, The last one with Paul Anka's portrait was just that, a portrait. Mr. Anka hired Warhol to do a few paintings of him & later he chose this one to be an album cover. I thought this would be a neat post, hope ya like it.

Brand New Products: Wild & Wacky Andy Warhol Items

It's kinda strange how today there's a ton of Warhol-related products being made & a few of them are kinda weird or wacky! Like these: Here's a Set of 5 different real-life SNOWBOARDS that features Warhol's work on the bottom. There's the "Do-It-Yourself Flowers" painting, an Electric Chair from the Art Print Series, a Last Supper variation, a 1960's Flowers Painting, & my favorite, an Andy Warhol Self-Portrait. These are actually pretty cool & I think they would be great to display as art on the wall. The next item is a very small plastic-figure of Andy that is sort of ball-shaped, kinda cute really. This is a part of the current "Urban Toy" culture & made by a company named Harmony. They made other "artists" in the series but who cares about them. The last item is kinda funny & elegant all at the same time, ha ha. It's a Fine-Silk Dress Tie with Andy's famous Pop Art graphic of a Pepsi-Cola Bottle Cap. I haven't really researched these ties that hard but I'll bet ya that they did one with Campbell's Soup Cans, ha ha!

Fine Art Painting: WARHOL WIG ON LITTLE KID By Ron English

From my ANDY BLOG it's kinda obvious that I'm a HUGE Fan of Pop Art, or any kind of ART really! One of my favorite "Modern Day" Pop Artists is a guy named Ron English. He uses a lot of Pop Culture references in his work & sometimes he's very political. He's becoming quite popular so many readers might already know about him, great stuff!! Here's one of his Pop Art paintings showing a pre-adolescent Andy Warhol. ( I love the Silver "Fright Wig" on this little kid, ha ha! ). Every time I see this painting it cracks me up! Plus, it's a well-executed piece of ART. If you'd like to see more work by this guy be sure to check out his website:

Who's Andy Warhol POP ART Painting Portrait is This?

One of my favorite aspects to Andy Warhol's art are the many portraits he did of famous and/or rich people. These Pop Art paintings have become icons in the art world & the "style" is copied by many graphic artists today. Here are 2 examples of one such portrait. Now, the thing that's driving me crazy is I got this picture ( and was gonna publish the information ) from an Australian Government website but I totally forgot the name of it & lost the bookmark! This guy was a high official for their government & had his portrait done. Arrrggghhh, oh well, you can still enjoy it's beauty, ha ha!
