Wayne White is a very talented man who has worked in a variety of artistic jobs, on Pee-wee's Playhouse, as a cartoonist, puppeteer, animator and painter. He won awards for his music video for Smashing Pumpkin's 'Tonight, Tonight'. Todd Oldham helped create a book about his recent paintings, which is where I first heard about him. In the documentary, Wayne talks about humour in art and how crucial humour is to him and how it is often not taken seriously in the art world. I think that his humorous paintings are such a success, it shouldn't really matter if the art world doesn't take you seriously if you have an audience who really appreciates what you are doing.
Anyhow, very enjoyable documentary and entertaining artist. I recommend it.
