The Amazing Andrew Salgado

For about 38 seconds a year or so ago I worked with this fellow at a restaurant. Temporarily supporting himself serving tables, Andy was hilarious and convivial with everyone, all the while concentrating on his obvious gifts as an artist. I remember a conversation I had with him where he described in minute detail the genius of Basement Jaxx & Moloko while we slurped on shitty house red after getting off shift. Ah the memories.

Every now and then I check out his website to see what he's got cookin'.

Um, holy shit.

I have been blown away by his paintings for some time - but these videos are next level. Warning: if you aren't human and haven't yet discovered what a twig and two berries look like, move on.

I'd post up some of his art on here, but you're better off checking out his full portfolio of images and videos at his site. Plus, it's, like, not mine to post and stuff. Word.
