Scott Seekins is a Minneapolis artist who is obsessed with Britney Spears. Since 2001, he has devoted nearly every painting to her. He would like her to notice him. One of his former muses was Madonna (the real virgin, not Ciccone.)
Seekins feels that Britney's course runs parallel to the decline in this country. She was a Mouseketeer in an age of innocence. Seekins does not paint her bald with an umbrella. Seekins is well-known in Minneapolis for wearing black suits in winter and white suits in summer. He has done this since art school. He is famous for being famous (as a scenester.)
Here are a couple I liked, from the slideshow at the link. (Slugbug)
fresh yet normal, private yet public, personal yet political: Championing the spectrum yin to yang, with penchant for androgyny; Sensory-obssessed, sometimes nostalgic but primarily novel-stimulus-oriented; libertarian-leaning compassionate liberal more independent than bandwagon-riding
