The first time I heard about
Butch Anthony was on one of our favorite television shows,
American Pickers. We love Mike and Frank cause they seem like a couple of regular guys having fun with a lot of humor thrown in, entertaining regular folks like us. Laughing feels so good, doesn't it?
A folk artist from Alabama, Butch has a wonderful knack for turning junk into art. They say he's part mad scientist, part genius. I love the word he made up: intertwangled. Now there's a word for ya! Intertwangled most accurately describes his work for it's made up of found, discarded objects and turned into treasures. I fully enjoy listening to Anthony's southern twang and watching his laid-back manner. See one of his interviews on YouTube
here. Butch's work is such an inspiration and what a delightful character he is! Great job, BA, we love ya, from Lisa and Mike in good ol' sunny California. Keep up the good work! xo
Butch Anthony speaking: Hey y'all, welcome to my Museum of Wonder Shop. I like to take found objects and turn them into art.
