Heres an artist I found interesting. Mingering Mike is an outsider artist who created an imaginary record collection he's been making his whole life. He's been making records out of cardboard, painting labels, hand painting the grooves on the records, hand painting the LP cover art, constructing 7"s 12"s and double LP gatefold cover, then putting them in shrink wrap and pricing them like if they were really from a store. There is a book about him I just bought called "Mingering Mike: The Adventures of an Imaginary Soul Superstar". He has recently been the focus of art galleries in DC (his home) and right now there is one in Toronto, and they are trying to bring his exhibit to NYC soon.
Hope You enjoy!
