Are you a fan of Andy Warhol?Up to a few months ago, I recognized the name, but didn't realize what exactly he was famous for.Guess I've been living under a rock.I'm not a huge fan of pop art, but after seeing a few of his silkscreened prints, I just feel like his art speaks to me on some level. I may not be a pop art-type person, but I do love a good quote. Luckily for me, Warhol was a wordsmith. I find his words appealing because Andy Warhol had a killer sense of humor and insight into human behavior.Luckily, I've found Billy Name, the artist who marries Andy's art and words together that creates a killer piece of artwork. Pop Art in a Photo BoothHilarious facial expressions, combined with his quotes, brings Warhol to life on your wall. Did you ever hear a phrase your whole life and never realized where it came from?Every time an annoying reality tv star is suddenly catapulted into the spotlight, the media or critics are quick to throw out the "they're having their 15 minutes of fame" line.Andy Warhol is actually the person who first said those words back in 1968, long before today's love affair with shows like Survivor, Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo, and the Bachelor.I swear that man must have had a time machine, came to the 21st century, and watched every scummy reality show out there to come up with such a classic quote. "In the Future, Everyone Will be World Famous for 15 Minutes"Fifteen MinutesPoster These set of poster prints for sale from Allposters are really a self-portrait of sorts. They're actually photos that Andy took of himself in a photo booth in 1964.The mixture of these candid images with his witty quotes is priceless. Warhol's facial expressions seem to back up his words and make them more real, like he's speaking straight to you. "The World Fascinates Me" I know that Andy Warhol had to be a curious person.How else could one man be an artist, photographer, anchorman, fashion designer, filmmaker, an ad man, and a band manager?And that's only the short list.Being fascinated by the world makes you go out and try new things. Who wants to be stuck in a rut for 20 years?I'm trying to live this quote by doing what I loved in school: writing. Writing has made me look at the little everyday things in life I would have normally ignored and think of them in a whole new way.
