My name is David Irvine and I am a full-time artist, gardener, and Halloween enthusiast. Known worldwide for my redirected thrift store painting series, I also do a variety of other art projects including paintings on salvaged vinyl records, burnt-out light bulbs, and unique crafts.
Here are photos from start to finish – now available in my Etsy shop.
