A lot of John Mellencamp fans have no idea he's also been a painter most of his life, and now there's a couple different ways to experience his body of art....it wasn't until Bob Dylan, who's also a painter, saw Mellencamp's stuff, and hooked him up in the late 1980's with a guy who could get his artwork out to the masses, that the rest of us got to see what he can do....check out more from Mellencamp himself, as well as many of his paintings, and info about his art exhibit: John Mellencamp: Paintings and Assemblages," on display now at the New York Academy of Art thru November 25th with free admission, and you can buy a book of his art thru Amazon and other outlets.
