Whore Doors and Dirty Birdies: The Art of Ken Keirns

Painter, illustrator and sculptor Ken Keirns has a bio that's as good as they get, including such nuggets as "He has always wanted to be an artist, except for that short-lived stunt man period when he was nine." We're glad that he ended up being what he (mostly) wanted to be when he grew up, since we're already big fans of the whimsy, attitude, and general boobfulness of his work. Check out his "Whore Doors" full-size portraits of sex workers painted on (surprise!) actual doors; his "art toys", where vintage Fisher Price doodads are turned into porno playthings; and all those paintings of the muse who pops up again and again throughout his portfolio, whose very nice rack is worth a visit in its own right.
