More About Dave Pollot: Dave Pollot is a New York based artist who is known for his altered thrift art paintings. He finds abandoned artwork and adds his own touch - most often pop culture parodies - and in doing so, bridges the divide between classic and pop art.
His artwork has been displayed and found homes in galleries, businesses, and private collections in all 50 states and in over 40 countries around the globe. His work has attracted attention from the media both in the U.S. and abroad, including Business Insider, Instagram, and the Chive, and his corporate clients include SONY, Instagram, and Troegs Brewing Company among others. When he’s not painting, he can be found spending time with his wife and two dogs.

That's such a cool hobby to have. Not to mention he's a really great artist.

He does have Flare and excitement to a painting….He should get the courage to do his own rendition of insightful art
