Ran into Steve's work while working at a record store in VA back in the day, he had done the cash wrap and other pieces in the store. Eight years later I was playing darts at a local bar in Brooklyn and noticed a few of his paintings on one of the walls because, well, they're unmistakable. 

Steve's done some 250,000 paintings, including album artwork for Pavement. The paintings are done in an immersive factory line - meticulously quick, methodical, explosive - and are fairly cheap, much like buying a CD.

What's best is that he does them himself.

Check his site for more work and maybe check out the studio on a Sunday: Steve Keene
