From his first brush with fame as one of the creators of Pee-wee's Playhouse, Wayne White has been living his mission: to prove that fine art can be funny, too. He can be found parading around Hollywood in a Lyndon B. Johnson puppet suit, painting sarcastic slogans over cheap landscape paintings, introducing "the world's largest George Jones head," or breaking out into one of his regular hillbilly jigs. The story of his career is one of highs and lows, including recoveries from failure and battles with vanity, which only serve to make Berkeley's charming subject more lovable.

"vulgar, hilarious, and filled with nostalgiaa truly entertaining examination of the power of art." Ain't It Cool News
