William Joseph Dunn is by trade an animator, or rather a background painter for animations, but his personal works are definitely meant to shine in the foreground. Equal parts painting and found objects, Dunn’s work combines objects he considers of social import with the symbols that he feels accentuate the message of the object. He paints his subjects in a worn fashion so they don’t drown out the previous life of the objects being painted on, letting the personality of the object have a voice in the composition rather than just act as a base for the medium. If all that fails to impress you then just have a peek at the work for yourself and tell me you don’t like it. You like it. You know you do.
