Sometimes you can find really nice works of art in thrift stores and at flea markets. However, they may need a little upgrade. Artist Dave Pollot gives his secondhand art a pop culture makeover. He shows his work off on his Instagram , which is definitely worth a follow, as you’ll see below.
1. Pollot crumbles a lot of fun little details throughout his works.
Passion project… So, I have some BIG news! I'm sure that some of you know that my time has always been divided between two passions – I've spent 15 years writing software and I've painted most of my life. You may have noticed that I've been spending a lot more time painting over the past seven years or so (which hasn't really left a lot of time for things like, the beautiful woman I married, our dogs, sleep, books, etc.) Well, the time has finally come for me to change the priority of my passions. January 3rd is my last day as a professional software engineer!!! I'm scared shitless, but I'm so excited that I'll finally have more time to get these ideas out of my head and on canvas/paper/who-knows-what-else! I want to thank every single one of you for your support and if you own any of my work, here's an extra big thank you. It's meant the world to me and I couldn't do this without you guys. I also want to save my biggest thanks to my accomplice and supporter – my wife @adinomight. She's worked so hard behind the scenes to help me turn this little passion project into something a lot more. Art is definitely my cookie of choice, and here's to a 2018 with more than enough of it to satisfy an army of googly-eyed-blue-monsters…
