Wayne White
Wayne
White is all over the place creatively. He has had a long and varied career and
you can always tell that its his work. Aside from his sculpting and painting
ability which he is very talented, he is also a hilarious person who is not a
fan of the man.
I
first was introduced to Wayne through his documentary that was filmed about
him. The film shows everything he has worked on and how he works in his studio
and all in all shows what his daily life is like. He has a wife and two
children and in some ways is just a normal dad except that he is just a bizarre
guy.
One
of his early jobs was after he
moved to New York he became a cartoonist for several of the local free
magazines including The New York Times and The Village Voice. Then after that
he moved on to television. His first tv job was as a set and a puppet artist on
Pee Wee’s Playhouse which was an eclectic children’s show that used interesting
surreal sets and characters.
He then went on to
making the tonight tonight music video for The Smashing Pumpkins the rock band.
This is one of my favorite videos of all times because of what he created in
it.
His sculptural
work is often compared to Ed Ruscha and he uses his sculpture skills recently
to make sculptures of words. He also makes large painting works that start as
thrift store paintings and then paints large 3d words over the old painting.
