Art of the Day
John Lytle Wilson is a local Birmingham artist whose work is really whimsical, futuristic and fun. Think robots, monkeys and unicorns meet apocalyptic type scenes that are somehow fun and inviting!
Recently, he had a collaborative show with photographer Wes Frazer at Bare Hands Art Gallery. Part of their exhibit was a hand-made spinning wheel that you could pay to turn (some of the prizes included taking a shot of "Old Crow" whiskey and winning an original t-shirt).
Another thing that Wilson does that I absolutely love: he takes old landscape paintings that he gets at thrift stores and carefully adds a robot here or there to create a really fascinating scene.
