If I ever get asked the infamous question of "who would die to eat dinner with..anybody in the world?"...type of deal, besides Jim Sturgess from Across the Universe [because he's an obvious oozing pot of sexual eruptions]..I would pick this guy, Phil Hansen. He looks like the most plain looking motherfucker, but god is he incredible. And incredible artist that is. Talented and very genuine, is a good word, for this man. Basically his art consists of using random but very impression-effective objects to create his images, usually of people. From making a layered piece of Rosa Parks using copied pages from a bible...to making a frozen wine portrait of Amy Winehouse, Hansen's creative storage box in the cranium is filled with ridiculously good shit. Here's a video, that you would be dead meat for not watching.

He is a definite immortal in this world, and I think I'm going to write him some kind of thank you message for all of the inspiration he personally gave to me. If you're wondering about the image in the top of Mr.Hendrix, that one Hansen created out of red, white and black tipped matches, and then set the thing on fire, which I don't know if it's a personal statement on the behalf of Hansen...but I could see his point. Art isn't made to have a definitive point anyhow, to each his own. Check him out: ww.philinthecircle.com
