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.

Thank you! I never knew that much about him until I wrote this. I thought he was just a weird looking artist
I've been reading more about Andy Warhol lately. I'm pinning this to my Catholic board because it fits. He was a devout Catholic.
Yes, it is very inspirational. He was really a genius with just about any medium he used.
Warhol was amazing artist who managed to achieve impressive effect with relatively simple tools. Some of his quotes are iconic. Great source of inspiration!
Thank you Mira! I saw that he could be wordy lol
That was me, Jo. I didn't think I knew much about him, but i knew more than I realized.
Thank you Kathleen!
He wrote some pretty good bits. Some of them are a few sentences long, so they don't work on a poster, but they're just as good. Thanks for this article. I enjoyed it!
I've only really encountered him via the Velvet Underground. But reading this, it seems that I'd seen more of his stuff through osmosis than I'd imagined.
Fabulous article! I absolutely love Andy! Thanks for this!
