Joseph Arthur – Teenage Dreams
A Fender® Stratocaster® hand painted and embellished with mixed media by Joseph Arthur
Originally discovered by Peter Gabriel, Arthur is an exciting and unique live performer, having sold out shows at London's Shepherds Bush Empire, LA's Troubadour and New York's Bowery Ballroom. An accomplished painter, Arthur has often sought to combine his musical and artistic creative talents. He creates huge canvasses live on stage, and in 1999 his vibrant sleeve design for album Vacancy was nominated for a Grammy.
"I wanted to paint the guitar like I would one of my own. Like a teenager hiding in his bedroom giving his most prized possession mythical tattoos. I wanted it to look like I lived with it. Like I wrote some classics on it. I wanted to give it a soul."
