Lamar Sorrento -- folk artist, rock star.
Lamar is a funny, creative guy. And he's a self-taught artist. (In his words, "Doesn't it look like it?") He plays guitar and paints. Maybe he does other stuff, too. I don't know. I pretty sure that mainly, he paints. He does artwork of country legends, rock stars and people's pets, but he's perhaps best known for his blues paintings like the ones shown below. He paints on found wood, cardboard, old frames... whatever. It all looks good and is instantly recognizable as Lamar Sorrento.
