Chris Crites paints portraits, rather mugshots, on brown paper bags. They are quite funny...and a bit depressing...and very good.
It impresses me when someone sticks with something for so long. His portfolio goes back to 2003; 9 years of painting mugshots on brown paper bags.
He's today's alter ego because somedays I wish I could narrow my art down to just one stinkin thing. One thing, and be awesome at it.
Everybody has to be known for something, so without further ado, here is the infamous Bag Painter. (don't believe me? his website is www.bagpainter.com)
Enjoy your Thursday everyone!
Thank you so much for the post! I do appreciate it! Been doing mugs on bags (and other things) since 1999. Yeah, okay, maybe I am obsessed a little...
Take it easy,
Chris Crites
