Filmmaker Thomas Mignone first met beloved Los Angeles artist Harry Blitzstein in 2002 when they were both eating at Canters on Fairfax. Harry invited Thomas to his studio space across the street and they formed an immediate friendship. Thomas loved Harry's imaginative, dark yet playful and surreal paintings. Thomas shot some film for Harry of his artwork and Harry gifted Thomas with three small charming paintings. If you like art that's whimsical and fun yet hints at some savagely humorous themes a la Ralph Steadman (another of Thomas' faves) then these three paintings are for you !!!
